June SMAC meet

Is anyone considering hosting the June SMAC meet?

I would like to host but don't have a listening room for hi-fi gear. Nor do I have any to demo. My gear collection is still in a state of flux and horribly mismatched.

What I can offer is a nice deck and yard along the Paint Creek just north of Rochester. If you guys are game for a simple back yard affair and patio speakers we can do that here with bells on.

Of course any enthusiasts of outdoor listening methods and high wattage gear would be welcome to demo their stuff. :D

Any interest in such a meet?

You have a nice backyard and an electrical outlet and your hungry for some good sounding tunes...that is kinda like having a pot of water, and a stone and wanting some good soup.

Are you familiar with the "Stone Soup" Story?

This book, Stone Soup, which featured soldiers tricking miserly villages into cooking them a feast, was read aloud by the Captain on an early episode of Captain Kangaroo in the 1950s, as well as at least once in the 1960s or early 1970s.

The influence the Captain and his sidekicks has had on my life has been truly amazing! Heck, I only picked up on Zappa because I thought he was the son of Mr. Green Jeans!

Go for it! :thmbsp:

Well, if we're going stone soup, I can offer up to bring over either my Klipsch KG 3.5s that I have in BT or a set of Polk Monitor 10s speakers and a universal DVD player as a source.
 
I could offer up a NAD C 325BEE Stereo Integrated Amplifier but alas, it has no tubes, and you know how that goes over in this group!

Oh wait, I could also bring over a PrimaLuna Prologue II integrated with tubes!

And a bunch of Carrots!

Sounds like a plan to me. I've had a couple hosts offer but they have already hosted a meet in the past. Would be nice to get some new blood (er...bacon?) into the mix.

Pick a date Ed and shoot me an email and we'll get the party started. I'm sure we will not be short of equipment for an outdoor system.

If you want a pot luck audio setup I'm sure we could accommodate there.

I would be willing to bring something, or should I say Andy would be willing
to bring me, then I would be wiling to bring something, and so on and so on. :grnbounce
 
It's on for June 30. I realize that is July 4th weekend but it is the only Saturday in June we had left open. Address info will be in the e-mail.

Feel free to bring gear for listening where we can. It might be in the driveway, in the finished garage, or on the deck. The property is pretty countrified with a trout stream so kids, dogs, old men with cane poles, and watermelon wine are welcome. :D
 
I might be able to put together something rather large in the speaker department by then....:D

How bout the fishing?

Would it be doable and worth it to bring tackle?

The stream is the Paint Creek which feeds into the Clinton River. There are fly fishermen that come through and catch trout. I don't fish in it so I can't offer any advice how to do it.

A few weeks ago I had reps over from Clinton Valley Trout Unlimited and the Clinton River Watershed Council. We were looking at the creek from the perspective of log jams due to ash borer activity, but they did mention that my section of the creek is now artificial lure/catch and release only. You would have to look at the fishing regs for Paint Creek to be sure.

Haven't been in there since undergrad. That was when they had the old building that was listing into the creek. The jukebox was on the downhill end so it was always a quick trip down to spend quarters but a hike back to the bar. :D

Ahhh....the building had character !...:D
 
I have fly fished the PC many times. TU and others have done a great job cleaning it up. If I can get off my ass and finish it, I can bring my GM70 amp.
