My travel to BAF has begun. Hanging out at the airport on my way to Santa Rosa. TSA was curious why I had all the "computer boards" in my carry on 😛
None of their business.
Back in 2022 I attended a wedding while I was in San Francisco for BAF. The agent at immigration asked me "do you have any friend here?" and I said "Yes, I have a friend, she lives here". "Is she your girlfriend?" "No" 5 seconds of silence... "you can tell me if she is there is nothing wrong with that" "I am here for her wedding!" "Congratulations for being the bridegroom!".
Here is how we will fill the rooms with audio systems:
Preschool Room-large systems, this room will be available on Saturday after the Speaker Camp class is done.
Club Room-for small and desktop systems, and testing of Zenductor amplifiers with speakers.
Conference Room 2-regular size systems with bookshelf or slightly larger speakers.
As stated before you do not have to bring a complete system, we will mix and match what you have.

I was recently told that the plasma/quad demo could be in a room of my chosing (which is the club room for its acoustics).
I certainly hope this has not changed.

Those are fans, not speakers, eh?I have this very large Infinity HCA amp that is up for grabs. I don't know much about it; I got it at a garage sale and apparently the father had been working on restoring it before he passed. I realistically will not get to this in the next 10 years and would like someone to try and use it. Was about to cannibalize it but its pretty cool. Weighs 112lbs so I'm not hauling it to Burning Amp unless someone is down. LMK

What time are folks showing up at the Community Center on Friday afternoon to get set up? I plan to show up and help. Just don't want to show up too early and be the only one around.
I will be there today. Community Center staff will be setting up tables, etc. I am dropping off Camp stuff and Tom may be dropping off some stuff. Not much else is going on. The real fun starts tomorrow morning 🙂
Edit: just heard that more stuff is coming down today. If you are around and want to get some exercise, come on down.

Okay...I'm through security and on my way and practicing my talk for Sunday.
Related, less people in the Airport are interested in loudspeaker design than you might think.

I will be attending Sunday to do some video and photos of the folks and their creations. I happened to locate 10 Sample Boxes that will be available at auction.
FYI-Linear Systems brought me back 9/30 🙂

I think you mean "fewer people" or maybe you mean "lesser people" haha! I would not be surprised, I've been boring customers all week when asked to explain why I would be closed Saturday this week. Am I rotten for continuing to extol the virtues of diyAudio long after their eyes glaze over?Related, less people in the Airport are interested in loudspeaker design than you might think.
Years ago a British friend and I were at his country pub near Reading. I had gone on about my audio hobby for a while when he replied that If only I could become a citizen/subject of the UK/Crown, I could 'Bore for England"

haha!! Love a dry British insult! As Christopher Hitchens said "a gentleman never insults accidentally"
Well, it's a little after 4p. I'll be at the craft room if anyone needs help. HeyBill
Looking forward to BA 2024! Been a while since I've made it to one. Planning to bring along: Turntable, Pearl2, Pearl3, PassDiy line stage, and a small upgraded vacuum tube power amp. Also will grab a box full of cables.
I doubt if there's much in the way of usable furniture for setting up systems... Anyone planning on bringing some kind of audio rack furniture??

Anyone need any help setting up today? I’m free and don’t have much to do for a few hours.
We had a ton of help today and got to setup for the camps as well as the badges and food. Thank you Penny, Tom, Sheldon, Liz, Dana, Nelson, Bill, and all of you who helped. We should be ready to roll tomorrow.
Some exciting systems being setup already!
