Welcome! If you are free this weekend and have any interest, come on over. AK gatherings don't happen very often here in Iowa so I suggest you dive right in and meet a few of us. If you think you might come over, click on my name and use the "start conversation" feature to send me a message and I will give you directions. Hope you can make it!Wow, i just joined AK! From Wloo area. Pretty new to think about this? But i love the idea. I am pretty new to the hobby, but love it, as even my 2 kids are into it. Been great.
I'm considering driving down from the Twin Cities (MN) for this event. I haven't been to an AK get together in a few years, so I think I'm experiencing some weird type of withdrawal. <grin>
Tox, great idea with the name tags. I was going to pick some up but if you have some you don't mind bringing, I appreciate it.A crowd of AKers pretty much reflects AK: glad to see you, slightly nerdy, possibly distracted listening to tunes and not very talkative at times. Generally very comfortable. I have only seen a few two-headed aliens and only one incident of actual cannibalism. You should come.
Which reminds me: I have some stick-on name tags and markers I can bring - mostly out of my own desperation as I'm terrible at names. AK handle on top and first name on the bottom helps everyone connect you to your online self.
Thought I'd bring a few tunes on CD if there's an opportunity to audition some favorites.

Come on down neighbor! Pm me if you'd like directions.
Thanks. I already have the address from a prior inquiry. I just made my hotel reservation in Marshalltown for the weekend. Now, I just need to figure out what audio goodies to bring along. <grin>
You're more than welcome to. I'll show you some overnight options when you get here.I might take you up on camping out Sat. night, just because of the long drive back after a day of fun. I'd plan to pull out fairly early I reckon. If that works.
Bryana ? Bryan Anderson ? He is in Boone.
I really hope Bryan shows up. Bryan, if you're reading this, I miss ya! No posts since 2014 and no replies to PMs. It's been wayyyy too long. I plan on being there on Saturday and hope to see you there!That's him thanks. Picked up a nice pair of KLH 23's from him.
Well. Did you get the kitchen pass ?Wow, thx for the hospitality! Actually i am west of waterloo 20 minutes out by Dike, even closer i think. I will ck with the wife, kind of quick notice, but will ck and will pm you!
I have indoor camping options, no need to go back to Ottumwa if you choose to stay.Welp, I finally found those pesky name badge labels, and there are only 10 in the package. I'll stop by and get some more unless I hear different.
I'm driving part way tonight and will stay in Ottumwa. So probably arrive mid-morning.
Looks like 80% chance of rain on Sat. night now, so I think I'll wave off the camping and just head back toward Ottumwa for the night.
Tube tester is out and there will be apple pie.
Looking forward to it!
@tyella: So you will not feel left out, I'm bringing all the leftover abandoned junk off the swap table for ya.
