MexicanDragon Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 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** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trav Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 The meet is now officially CanLanta 2013. Some Mexican thought up the name... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrarroyo Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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, 2013 by TomB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 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.

MexicanDragon Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 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** 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, Doug will let me show ECP Audio - or maybe he'll come down, too. Is there anybody I could call this week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphsci Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavitsk Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexicanDragon Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 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** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 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.

morphsci Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) 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, 2013 by morphsci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepak Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanDragon Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 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.
