January 9, 201313 yr Author We would like to announce that the Audio-Video Club Of Atlanta has decided to join us in this venture. We have had a few run ins with this group and it has always been enjoyable. They are thinking about bringing a DIY speaker rig they have worked on a a club reference. Would you guys be interested in hearing that? **BRENT**
January 10, 201313 yr Darn this would be fun, the last two meets in Atlanta that I attended were a blast with lots of nice people. My family lives in Atlanta and my nephew graduates from HS in late May … perhaps, just perhaps.

Would you guys be interested in hearing that? **BRENT** Sure - they were nice enough to invite us with Tyll. They're a great bunch. As long as the speaker is not pumping it out all day and we can hear the headphones. The meet is now officially CanLanta 2013. Some Mexican thought up the name... Actually, I was going to ask if someone would be interested in an Atlanta CanJam. Maybe that's a bridge too far with this, but it seems like most of the guys who did the last one in Chicago are Head-Casers and could tell us how it's done. It'd be nice to have one in Atlanta in the future. Edited January 10, 201313 yr by TomB
January 11, 201313 yr I think canjam as a concept is done, it's now the marketing arm of head-fi, and is just a sponsored section of the RMAF.You could talk to Tyll about his plans for a conference tho, but I think he's thinking NYC metro first.
January 11, 201313 yr Author I'd like to announce that Headamp and JH|Audio will be attending! There are a few other vendors interested as well, so stay tuned! **BRENT**
January 11, 201313 yr Wow...Brent!!! That's great job man. I'll contact Drew Audio to see if he would like to attend.Purk

You could talk to Tyll about his plans for a conference tho, but I think he's thinking NYC metro first. OK - CanLanta it is, then. Nice job, Brent! Drew is fairly close - that would be cool, too. Hopefully, Doug will let me show ECP Audio - or maybe he'll come down, too. Is there anybody I could call this week?
January 12, 201313 yr I say call it CanJam Atlanta. There is no way that HeadFi owns the CanJam name. They certainly do not honor the spirit of CanJam.
January 12, 201313 yr Drew is fairly close - that would be cool, too. Hopefully, Doug will let me show ECP Audio - or maybe he'll come down, too. At the very least, I'll ship some stuff down. If my schedule permits, I'll come. I say call it CanJam Atlanta, too, and see what happens
January 13, 201313 yr Author Hey guys, A few things. I've been helping out on this meet, but Trav is the man doing the legwork and really putting this together. At this point, the room is a good size for a few vendors and a lot of personal rigs, but the layout is different from your usual venue (check the pix up above). Now, there IS another room available, and we would want to know for sure about the name, as it has been advertised as CanLanta (officially). I'm gonna send out a couple PMs... you guys keep an eye out **BRENT**
January 13, 201313 yr Read the PM's - sorry I started this mess, but I was asking about having a CanJam Atlanta in the future. It was poor timing, though, and I apologize Brent and Trav. Maybe if we can take notes and use it as a dry run like Brent suggested, but let's stay on track with CanLanta.
January 13, 201313 yr I can certainly describe my experience in Chicago as well as share any of our information that may be useful to you. It will require alcohol (but not red vodka). Edited January 13, 201313 yr by morphsci
January 13, 201313 yr I am way overdue for a get together again with the crew. Will have to check if no one at work has taken thursday, friday and following monday to tuesday off. I will let you all know by week's end.
January 13, 201313 yr Author Mods: Can I please get the thread changed to "CanLanta 2013 - May 4th - Atlanta, GA"? Thanks **BRENT**
January 15, 201313 yr i can probably make this. i'll likely be in Florida, the week before, for Schneider Family Vacation (Emily's family goes on vacation every year, and takes the kids and spouses of kids with them), and Emily suggested that, since we were going to drive separately from the others anyway, that I drive up to Atlanta for the meet, and she just goes home with her parents. is there a place i can crash? i ain't gonna have a ton of cash... i'll have knives and cookware with me (the Family vacation always rents a house, so that's the kinda stuff i will be traveling with), so i'm happy to cook in exchange for accommodations. MD would love that
January 16, 201313 yr Author I'm not sure about a place to stay, but I'm sure that can be figured out a little closer to time. We're used to having one long day in Atlanta, not a typical "Travel Team" meet, so we'll have to step up our game some. Trav, can you talk to the place about some special "convention rates"? I need to message Tom_Hankins. I'm interested to see if his listening room has been tweaked any since I was last there **BRENT** Reks, you'll have to make biscuits. It's the entry fee.
