Hey guys and gals,

Some of the Atlanta crew is looking to throw together a shindig in the spring. We usually have a decent turnout locally, and we sometimes partner with a big audio club in the area which gets some of the speaker guys out to play, but this year we're wanting to see if some of you guys would be interested in heading out to check out Atlanta for a few days (with a meet in the middle.)

We have a venue that would probably be able to house a CanJam style meet if there was interest in a non-RMAF version, so let me know if anyone would be interested.

The idea is to plan around finals for the college set, but if anyone has a date in mind, post up.

I may be interested after classes are over. 

Sweet.  Let us know a time frame that's good for you and I'll try to see how it works with GaTech and other Atlanta schools.  I'd imagine it's close.  Trav (some of you know him) is going to be handling the Head-Fi part, I think, but we've been talking about putting together another meet for a while now.

 

**BRENT**

I'm a maybe.

We have the last day of classes on April 19th.   The weekend of May 11th is graduation and I'm required to attend that.  Plus, I have two PhD students graduating and they would kill me if I missed the hooding ceremony. 

Dinny, you're in!  Great!

Shelly, what about April 27th, or May 4th (both Saturdays)?

I'm planning a few trips to Atlanta next year, so I'll try and attend. The earlier the better for me.

I'd be in for a trip to Atlanta, since my Pops lives in the area I could make it a 2fer. 

Always a maybe. Let's see where the dates shake out and if I actually expect to have any money at that point.

Dinny, you're in!  Great!

Shelly, what about April 27th, or May 4th (both Saturdays)?

 

**BRENT**

 

Those would probably both be ok.  The weekend of April 20st is also bad since I might be running a conference that weekend.

Count me in!!  I will provide local help, too, if I can - just let me know what you want me to do, Brent.

Thanks TomB!  We'll let you know when it's a little closer

So, earlier the better, but after 4/20.  Trav, can you check on April 27th and May 4th availability?  Mike, JP, luvdunhill, dinni, those dates good for you?  I'm sure Purk and fitz will be in here shortly as well.  For the out-of-towners, maybe you can bring some small/portable rigs?

Trav, can you get in touch with JHAudio about 13 and 16 demos, and does anyone know about demos for UE Capitols?

I think this could be a good meet (lots of people still into the hobby there) and hopefully we can have a fun gathering too!

**BRENT**

I'll have to verify when I get home, but I think either should be fine. If not, I'm sure I can make it work.

I'll try and check availability for those dates. Ill see if i can get in touch with Jerry or Brittany about possible demos.

as of this minute those dates are fine

Just got off the phone with Marriott, the amphitheater is currently available for 4/27 and 5/4.

I've been told that I need to go to Antico Pizza the next time I am in Atlanta so I expect a trip there. 

4/27 or 5/4 sounds OK.  I can't make it before that in April.

Talked to Trav, I think we're going to try to nail down May 4.  Does that work for the out of towners?

In Atlanta, we typically do the one-day thing, but if we're going to have out of town guests, we'll definitely try to entertain.  Now, I'm 2 hours out, so not necessarily my "hometown", but Antico Pizza (perhaps Saturday night), maybe we can find some music to get into.  Perhaps JP can lead us on a pub crawl?

Oh... it's a bit out of the way, but does this sound fun to anyone, for maybe Sunday? http://www.atlantamotorsportspark.com/our-services/karting/

 

It's the only F1 spec kart track in America, and it's 20$/session (8 minutes, 12-20 laps, I think).

**BRENT**

Yeah, if the time permits I might want to try a few laps...

I think it'd be fun, and I've been wanting to get down there.  I have friends who've run the big track a few times and really like it (just opened this past year), and the karts are all 50+mph.  If there's interest, I'll contact the owners and I have racing buddies in the area who are usually game for this kinda thing.  I already know a couple of them are game.

**BRENT**

Since we seem to have a date in mind now, I just shot off an e-mail to the head of the A-VCOA (Audio-Visual Club Of Atlanta), who has helped with an AXPONA and held two headphone specific meets of their own, one of which they even brought in our good buddy Tyll for a presentation.  While most of these guys and gals are "speaker people", there are some people with some nice headphone rigs as well.

**BRENT**

I should be able to attend Brent. Thanks for the head up. Let me know if I can help you out with anything.

There are several top notch beer bars in the little 5 points area

Awesome, jp. I have more news later that I want some input on.
