5th Annual Vancouver Island diyFEST
August 23rd in the usual place. (up the mountain in Victoria, BC)
Some people have been making this a weekend long affair so we expect some people to arrive Friday night and not leave till Sunday -- Terry don't be shy this year
(and the ones that show up as much as a week early get to help in the preparations)
Jesse says the timing should be such that fresh Alert Bay salmon will make an apperance and Cal insists on cooking it this year.
We'll have a 4th listening area set up, and are planning to have a "blind" (as in speakers behind a blind) for people to compare EnABL vrs not. We should also have some more interesting amplifiers this year, and will work to make the supports for sound room 3 solid enuff to be able to spin some vinyl.

it's only the overnight / north / south boats that we need worry about.
(there's hardly enough elapsed time on the Tsawwassen / Sidney run for the crew to get dangerously involved in their distractions )

for those not familiar, some residents of the Island consider themselves citizens of an independent country - for us Vancouver is the "big smoke"
I'll do my best. Now that they are a 3 way, I've seem to rely more on the big boxes to give the bass a boost. Ah what the heck, yoos guys are used to 4.5" drivers, they'll be fine. What amp are we gonna try? I remember something about a 1 watter I had in my bedroom for a couple months. Something about a flea?
