It looks like we'll have enough folks for a quorum. Some details:

 

I have a room/meeting space for anyone who wants to bring/listen to gear. It's at the Tangeman University Center at the University of Cincinnati and I will have the room for the majority of the day. Parking is unfortunately $10 for the day.

 

The closest hotel for those interested is the Kingsgate Marriott. It is about 1 Mile from the center. I couldn't get a space at the hotel, they were having some big conference that weekend.

 

It is also, as Todd pointed out, Head-Case's 8th birthday that day. With that in mind, I wasn't planning on advertising this anywhere else.

It's a 4 hour drive for me. I am going to try hard to make it. I would also request a "no idiots allowed" sign for my space as I won't have at least one of my items fully cased up. Also, curious if Jacob would allow some listening on his speaker rig and if so I would bring more items.

Marc, I will have the Schiit Magni and Modi there. I believe you inquired about them not long ago. I'll also have the uber Bifrost.

I am leaving that Sunday for San Francisco a week so that will impact when I have to get back by. I can leave early on Friday though. Verbal approval given by spouse

I will also be driving down on Saturday morning and heading back home early-ish on Sunday. I will most likely book a room at the Kingsgate.

The "No Idiots" sign is going on the door, my KGSSHV still doesn't have a top panel. I can most likely run shuttle services in my car for those in the hotel.

I'll be staying at the Kingsgate hotel as well, likely getting in late Friday and leaving Sunday sometime.  I'm planning on bringing the Stax rig so we can have a nice little BHSE v KGSSHV shootout.  Any interest in the Schiit Bifrost + Schiit Lyr stack as I could bring that as well.

A few updates: we'll have the meeting space from 8am-6pm but feel free to arrive whenever. There is loading dock access just in case you are bringing a dual-mono T2 and the room number should be 400A but that could change.

 

I'll be bringing:

KGSSHV: Topless Edition, Twisted Pear Opus, M3, Lambda Nova Classic, HD580, AKG K340 and some form of liquid tweaks

 

Also up for consideration is my old solid state exstata. If anyone is interested, I can bring that too.

These liquid tweaks you speak of - will they be allowed in our listening room?

I will be bringing the Schiit Magni, Modi and Uber Bifrost. Also my Air and various headphones.

Not sure but we have a private room so I'm going for forgiveness rather than permission here.

I am booked at the Kingsgate Marriott for 2/21-2/23. I will be coming in from Columbus late that Friday and heading back some time Sunday.  If anyone needs a place to crash, I have the option of getting double beds. 

^^^ This is good news.

So it looks like it is officially a go for me. I will drive down on Saturday morning and leave sometime on Sunday. Room is booked for Saturday night at the Marriott. I can bring the 007 Mk I and Omega for the KGSSHV v BHSE shootout as well as an adult beverage to be determined later, if there is interest.

I was originally going to come down on Saturday, but now I'm thinking Friday might be a better arrival date. Who else will be there?

 

Jacob, I'd say Saturday night would be best for your dinner extravaganza, so that the most people can enjoy your wares. I know I look forward to it, as well as seeing old friends and some I've known here but not met in person.

So I was thinking one of the nights, either Friday or Saturday, having a little dinner soiree here at Casa Jacob.  Carnitas, maybe?  If I do prep the day before, that only takes a couple hours to cook.  

 

I do want some Carnitas from Casa Jacob, please fax some to Texas. 

Carnitas and knife sharpening party?

 

Mike I get in Friday late, probably around 9:30-10.

I get out of class around 3 so I can head down any time after that to meet folks.

OK, booked at the Kingsgate Friday and Saturday nights. I'll probably get to Cincinnati Friday afternoon and go straight to your place Jacob, if that's OK. I'll do hotel check-in later that day.

Then it shall be. I'm so looking forward to this. It's been quite some time Jacob. 

I'm probably not in it for the gear & am attempting a Louisville-Cincy-Dayton beer run...

Could any of the local folks bring a monitor? That way I can bring my htpc to use as transport for the auralic dac.

Me.

Room in your apartment will be relative to head count. And with friends I am not bothered by being shoulder to shoulder. Who will be there on Saturday night?

FYI. I will be bringing beer.

Mike are you going back Saturday night or Sunday?
