We are getting close to "go" time! yes!

Hey, had a question for everyone... Any chance of a gear swap, etc while we are gathering? I am not sure if we are allowed to talk about that kinda stuff outside of Bartertown, but I just wanted to ask to see if it was possible and/or if there was interest.

**if it is a conflict of interest or a problem in any other way let me know and I can remove this comment. This is my first Fest so I am hoping to not put my foot in my mouth too early/often. :)

It's up to you guys what you want to do, but because of very limited space indoors you'll have to set up your swap meet at one of the tables. Similarly, if anyone wants to bring audio gear to play music, show up early and I'll have an extension cord from the garage available for an outdoor rig for listening during "fine dining"...sorry, just no room inside at the moment...
 
Sounds cool (and i hadn't even thought of the 'swap meet room' thing.) I was thinking maybe if folks were interested stuff could probably get per-organized here online and just have stuff change hands at the fest... that way we are not lugging anything except what is already spoken for. :)

This sounds like a job for Bartertown. Lets hope we have lots of subscribers in attendance. :)

I made a swap thread in Bartertown. If you are heading to Barrington this weekend and have some goodies you would like to give / get give a yell.

I wanted to mention in case you dont see my post in Bartertown that there is NOT a plan to have any sort of swap room or anything. So, any gear-flinging should be pre-arranged and should not impact our real goal this weekend.... to rock out! :music:

Hey gang, anybody interested in helping set up some outdoor tunes? I am down a receiver at home but i do have a pair of Boston A60's I could throw in the car if someone else wanted to bring a receiver / source.
 
Prediction is sunny with a high of 79 on Saturday, cooler in the shade where we'll be. Can't ask for better than that :banana:
 
OK, Grumpy, sounds like you and Mrs. Grumpy are in :)

If you're hungry afterward you can always call out for a pizza :D

See you tomorrow!

OK seeing no offers and having just picked up a little H/K receiver yesterday, I will bring the receiver and a small pair of speakers and a 1/8 adapter. Unless you want to listen to my car tunes; metal, dubstep, or the pop I keep loaded to listen to when my wife is around bring your ipods! Car music and 2 channel home listening music are two very diffrent things. :)

**I cant stay too late tomorrow. Hopefully the listening will move inside long before i need to packup my gear and head out. :)

Really want to come but I have to work and not sure what time I"ll get done. We are swamped here so I'll take all the OT I can get my hands on. Sounds like a blast, though, Brian.

Just show up if and when you can. We'll be going well into the evening, and I imagine there will be a "second feeding" between 7 and 8. Email me (brian-at-essentialaudio-dot-com) for the address and directions.

Just got a phone call from Grumpy who may be bringing a couple other AKers as well as Mrs. Grumpy.
 
We will be there. Hoping to get there about 1 and will stay till I'm thrown out :)

Sorry but my lightest weight amps are 75 pounds and they don't travel well. I may be able to scrounge up a pair of speakers to bring if need be.

So who is bringing the pizza ?
