Sounds good. the starbucks on Queen has closed. There is a Starbucks at 145 Richmond Street West. I suggest we meet there at 9.30 am. If it is too crowded we can take our coffee and make our way to the Sheraton where there is ample seating in the lobby to chat and catch up before the show opens.
Walter,
Seems like you know TO downtown pretty well. OK, it is decided. We shall meet at the SB at 145 Richmond Street west at ~ 9:30 am on Halloween day!! I think BigE might join us there.
Hey, Audio-nut, are you coming to the show this year? Please join us for coffee if you can. Your blue speakers look really interesting and may be you can tell us more about it.
Anyone else who would like to join is more than welcome.
Regards,
Sure. How about 10 am at the lobby of Sheraton? I probably will hang around SB for a little bit (check up on my emails) before I head to Sheraton. Walter, I can still meet you there at around 9:30 am.
Regards,
Good point. Based on your description, it is probably much easier for us to pick you out from a crowd!!
BigE is pretty tall too (over 6' I recall). Walter is also over 6'. I am the shortest (5'7"). Both Walter and I wear wear glasses. Last tiem I met BigE, he has short hair. Walter has nice wavy dark coloured hair (correct me If I am wrong, Walter). I have medium black hair. Big E and Walter are Caucasian and I am Asian. These are the best descriptions I can give you.
Regards,
I'm Asian with glasses and black hair (5'7"). See post #447 for pictures of our group. Is BigE one of the guys in the pictures?

I'll be there Friday. See you guys at SB.
Great!! Looking forward to see you again. I forgot totally about the picture. That will be useful for IDing us. See you there!
Regards,
I'm also in!
Looking forward to meeting fellow local members!!
I'll keep checking in as the location seems to be a moving target at this point
Strosek,
As mentioned in BigE's message, we shall meet in the lobby of Sheraton at around 10 am this Friday morning before TAVES opens. Looking forward to see everyone.
Regards,
Too bad. That's what I thought since I did not run into you. I missed BigE, Strosek and Analogluvr too. I walked around the lobby a few times between 10-10:30 but did not see anyone. Did meet up with Audionut though. Hopefully we can organize a meet sometime in the not too distant future and see each other again.
Like previous year's show, Friday is a "slow" day. One can leisurely stroll thorough all the rooms, do some listening and chat with the hosts.
The show this year seemed smaller than previous.
Regards,
Great Halloween event. Church filled. Of course, doesn't matter where you sit.
Started (as always) with the good old rousing "T&F in d minor" played really expertly by Patricia Wright the local master of the organ, Canada's largest. Ended with Gigout's even more rousing "Toccata." Hit 100 dBC a few times.
But if you missed it, you missed it.
