LOL. Use of the phrase "end of the road" might not the best idea when addressing someone who is sick
Frank C.
First off, Frank, you continue to amaze with your generosity and hospitality. Jim and I (and anyone else who can volunteer some time) will work to make all subsequent Fests as collegial and "Frank-like" as humanly possible!
Second, I'll take a shirt, whatever the design. And kudos to Jim for taking the initiative and putting the time in to do something extra and special for our rag-tag group. I suggest that anyone else who wants to contribute, send in your own designs for critical evaluation and then sit back and await the flood of feedback from the AK peanut gallery. Only seems fair!

Personally, I like the t-shirt. I also agree that if we all get our own ideas in there it will be a total CF! If I like the shirt I buy it. If not, I don't. If I have a better idea I make my own.
I'm hoping this will be my first Frankenfest! At least I'd get to meet Frank before "retirement".

T-Shirt orders:
Please "PM" (or "conversation") me with your name, quantity and size desired.
Don't send money - you can pay at the event.
Cost is $12 each.
Though I should know better I'm willing to ship shirts after the event for $5 (for 1-2).
Don't send money - we'll figure that out later.
Below is approximately what the shirts will look like - I'm waiting for the final artwork.
If you don't like the design then I will be looking forward to seeing what you come up with for future events - if you do like it then order a bunch!

In case anyone was curious, I'd like to bring a system for everyone to experience.
Vic recently went through my Apt Holman Preamp and powered Braun LV1020 Monitors. The Brauns are a rare set of speakers with an incredibly rich and powerful sound. And they accomplish this with onboard amplification and EQ that's neither overly complicated, nor overly powerful.
If folks are interested, I'd like to set this up in a cozy corner for critical listening, preferably not the swap meet area. (Any basement space?)

Always wanted to hear a set of the Braun. Several pairs have shown up local, but funds were never there. Congrats on getting a pair.
T-Shirt update.
So far I've got requests for 24 shirts - I plan on ordering these on Sunday night so all requests will need to be in by then.
There will probably be a slight extra charge for the XX and up sizes - probably a buck or two.
I do plan on ordering a few extras but if you want one please let me know.

Jim -- Thank you for creating the AK Frankinfest T Shirt. I'll be ordering a couple for sure.
As many of you know I love dogs & record players. But whatever the design, I'll be v happy and proud to wear it.
I'm looking forward to the fest. I missed the last couple.

I'd love to hear this system.
I plan to bring a system as well. Maybe the basement as Brian mentioned can be set up as a dedicated listening area? I haven't been down there, so I don't know how many systems could be set up. I heard there's no lighting? What about power? If not, we'll work it out on the main floor, or possibly upstairs in the hall as long as that woman isn't using it again.
Would be interesting to see if we could A/B system to system with the Brauns...?

This sounds really cool. I've not been. Are non-regulars welcome? While I'm not an audiophile pro, I am very much into vintage equipment, vinyl, and CDs. I have a couple of pieces I could bring with me, including that odd 12-cassette autochanger I picked up recently. I happen to live in Central MA, so seems like something I should attend. 
Not only are you welcome but you are exactly the type of person who this event suits.This sounds really cool. I've not been. Are non-regulars welcome?

See you there!
