If the weather is good, I might do that in a grass skirt, bone necklace and speak in some language known only to my people.

Cheers!

Meeee tooo!!!! Alas - my Mighty Dog Manfred is waiting for me in dogie heaven. I miss him everyday!!!!!

Great domestic scene, straight out of Norman Rockwell.

What could be more heartwarming than a picture of a man, his faithfull friend and his Tin-Foil hat!


Best Regards,

Bring large speakers.

To bad this is all I got

Yes, I remember the ceremony where the Islanders (who were overstimulated from their native intoxicating beverage) were performing their pagan rituals with torches, in front of their Sacred Granite Altar.

Another time, one of the natives became so overcome with paganistic fervor, that he rushed around with a crowbar (another native fetish) and in the end destroyed a Chicken Coop. He probably needed a live Chicken, to sacrifice on the Granite Altar, as part of some sort of primitive ceremony. Even recently, several Salmon have been gutted and ritually cleansed near the former location of the Coop, to (evidently) appease and placate the Chicken Gods.

I'd believe that these atavistic practices are certainly worthy of a detailed study by any aspiring Cultural Anthropologist.

Maybe this event isn't for me

Terry brings those kinds of projects all the time. We thou usually have to provide work space & tools so he can finish something at the last minute.

Maybe this event isn't for me

All those guys have been a number of times, and are just pulling your leg and passing off inside jokes to each other. They are all really quite tame (but all colourful).

No pictures of c2cthomas ... he hasn't been able to make one yet (be a nice drive thou... most of the way across the continent, and 2 trips thru the Rockies )

This event is perfect for you. Just expect your brains to be leaking by the end from information overload

It is always nice to see

Ya, I know. I was kidding too. I really look forward to it actually. Our listening session and your invitation made me quite excited for it. I hope to have brain leakage and learn a lot

Perhaps I'll join the pegan rituals and leave my wife at home though

 

[chrisb]

I'd like to say that what happens at Fest, stays at Fest - but with all those damned cameras, that's impossible

then again, those of us of "a certain age" , or self medicating, need all the help we can get in reconciling our recollections with what actually happened

Here is one of "Steve" and Dr. Jim Griffin (da man on "line array" speaker design - plus just about anything you can put a driver in). Da guy on the right is me in my in my old fart disguise (I'm really only 49) and that was at a little meeting of the Nashville Audio Society. Oddly enough Steve wanted to know more about stealth fighter technology than speaker design. My answer - I did things with Meteorological Science - (like earth and space "weather" - sun spots and magnetic storms and tornado's and will the sun come up tomorrow kinda things).

It's Dave that's pulling your keg!

Here's a before and after pictue of one poor soul that made the mistake of drinking some of Dave's infamous "Turkish Coffee":

You see, it's not all wholesome fun and games. I believe they had to drive a stake through that guy's heart to get him calmed down.

Terry "The Transformer" Olson

You called?

 

[CSS/XBL]

If someone builds it will they come?

I know both Cal and Terry would help unload it but I need someone to build it.

92" X 32" X 16 1/2" and 160+ pounds.

Hi Bob,

Do you need a pre-fab cabinet assembled, or actually cutting, gluing and fastening the cab from scratch?

Best Regards,
Terry

 

[Cal Weldon]

Hi Bob, Sure hope you make it, all I know is that I have to decide between passengers and speakers. Once we're there unloading seems easy

Terry,

I'll have the complete build manual shortly (60 pages). This is a horn that has a path length of 21.5 ft so it's not a simple build.

Looks like the inside of a piano.

Looks like the inside of a piano.

Or a "taped seam" America's Cup contender.

 

[tuxedocivic]

Just an FYI to anyone living in Washington or able to come through Washington. I'd be willing to pick up people from the Port Angeles ferry (Coho) and bring up to the event. I won't be staying the night or anything, but it might save some money not bringing a car over.

That is if you don't mind carrying your speakers. Once here though I have room in my car

 

[jleaman]

I hope to get to this event this year. Can I bring another audio guy too Dave ?

Maybe we can have them flatpacks done soon so I can bring the new units along for the event with the mini's.

 

[planet10]

I have room in my car

A very nice volvo statio wagon
