It's all ahead of us !!!
♫ Saturday October-19 ♫ New England FALL FrankenFest 2019, Sutton, MA
- Thread starter w1jim
- Start date
It’s tomorrow!
Just a few notes.
I’ll be bringing a bunch of sodas, water, cups, plates, plastic cutlery and some extension cords.
Folks should bring some snack foods as usual.
I have some “my name is” tags - it would be good to wear these in case we forget our names.
I’ll be there at about 10:45 - 11:00 at which point we can start setup. As usual we’ll need to set up the tables and arrange chairs before people start schlepping in our treasures.
We still need someone to help coordinate the system auditions at around 2 PM. If nobody volunteers somebody will he volunteered.
Other than that let’s have fun!

I'm gonna start cooking soon. Time to pull out the crockpot and cut up some onions and peppers !
Name tags are a great idea. I've thought that it would be really helpful to have permanent badges with our avatar and screen names, as well as first names...But i'm not sure how to accomplish that. For now a nametag and 'Frankensest' button will have to do
Once again, thank you to Jim for all his time and effort in keeping this tradition going. I know Frank is proud of us !
See you at 11..............

I am not sure if I am one of the "favored ones", but I am a tech, and plan on attending. I'll have a few meters, and maybe my signal tracer, along with alignment tools with me. I may be able to look your stuff for you at the fest if there is room.

Wow, that was fast with the pictures! Geez, gotta work on that gut 
Thanks to all for making this a fun show, more thanks to those that purchased records from me, and curses on Tom B for seducing me with a lovely little Sansui G-3000...oh wait, he bought records from me, never mind that last bit
There were a few great demos, Jim's mammoth Sansui G22000 takes special note...anyone get a picture of that? Don't know who exactly was involved, but there was some great sounding music coming from that corner down by the bathrooms. And the ADC Accutrac turntable was a wonder to behold!
Oh, and cannot forget to mention the food. Two containers of home-made cookies were the first on the table, don't know how they lasted so long, just great! And then there was a crock pot with American Chop...was that yours Billy? Outstanding.
Cheers to all

Yup, that was my crock pot. Once again it was all gone by 1:30. I'm glad it was a hit.
I didn't buy much, but it was great as always to see everybody and enjoy the sights.
Thanks to Jim and all who helped organize.
See you all in the spring....try to stay warm in the meantime.

Another terrific event by the New England crew - that makes it about ten years we’ve put on two events per year. Im honored to be continuing the tradition started by Markus, Beemer (Paul), Frank and (audio) Don.
This event - as usual - was smaller then the Winter event but well attended by about 55 people. With a few extra generous attendees we raised $300 - which is the amount we’ll need for the next event.
The plan is to have the next event at the Masonic Lodge in West Boylston, MA. Im thinking we can have the Fall event next year back in Sutton since it’s a smaller gig.
The new location will have a variety of different spaces so we can have multiple listening session simultaneously.
Hats off to Dan aka Bucky Badger for coming in from Oregon (OK, also to visit his brother and enjoy the fishing).
I’m glad to have been able the share the madness that is my Sansui G-22000 (no, it’s not for sale).
It occurs to me that it’s getting harder to sell gear - probably because we all have plenty of “kit” but it’s easier to sell records since one can’t possibly have enough music.
And while the “stuff” is always an attraction, the real benefit is to be able to see old friends and make new friendships with like minded and equally obsessive individuals.
So, the next event will be in West Boylston on Saturday March 21st, 2020.
I’m also planning on a new version of the T-Shirt to offer. Stay tooned!
