Start an area for "Local Members Meetings"

[Paul F]

Per my post in the "Philosophers and Wisemen" area, I think this board could use an area where we can invite others in our local area to get together and visit, BS, share our music and movies favorites, discuss connectivity etc.

What do you think???

[HookedOnSound]

THis board attracts alot of people from all over the world.

Wouldn't an Audioholics' convention be cool? Let's say something like every 2 years? Make it like a weekend thing. Invite members, presenters, go see some cool attractions, etc.

Anybody else feel along the same lines?

Just my .02

That could be very risky and tricky. Who knows how much it cost as well. It could work though. Depnds on how much the big fish here want to get involved. However I do agree on some sort of forum to set up get togethers with local members in our local areas.

How about getting members into the CES each January and then have a little side hospitality suite with some state of the art gear to check out? I've always wanted to go to the big show. :D

[Paul F]

:D All great ideas in my opinion! Looks like maybe a 'members area' for upcoming and yearly events might be needed. Anyone in the LA area - check out my post in 'Philosophers and Wisemen' - Anyone is welcome at my house Sat 4/16 or 4/22th.

I would if my living room had better seating than a folding camp chair at the moment.

...I jsut can't find a decent couch, and with no significant other to annoy me...well it just never happens :p

...aside from that, I'm not sure how entused everyone would be at my $650 HT setup, TV/receiver/speakers and all....but....NO CUBES!!!!!!

...heh, that's the only saving grace of that setup :D

...people who use too many of these (...) obviously need to get some sleep, laters!

[Clint DeBoer]

Not sure if we're ready for that yet, but we'll think on it. I know Gene and I would like to do something like this - it's just a matter of logistics.

I frequent some car forums that do regional meets all the time. Since they show off cars, it does make sense, but how do you do that with home AV stuff? :)

Still, not a bad idea.

[FNG212]

What I would like to see is just a "Audioholics link-up" thread so that people who live in the same geographic area can get together on their own. This site is fairly anonymous and I think it would add some familiarity if people got together in the real world, even just for coffee or something.

That being said, I live in St Paul, MN. Anyone shoot me a PM if they want to hang out or come listen to my free 3.1 Klipshc system my aunt and uncle gave me.

[sawzalot]

Rickster is the closest to me and we will meet up this summer for some cold ones and shoot the ****,Im sure of it.

I live on the outer moon of Saturn.....you would have to catch the space shuttle....:D

I live on the outer moon of Saturn...

According to a guy that I work with, the "short" grays have been orbiting a moon of Saturn for 1000 years in their mothership*. I bet that they have some rockin' systems.

* Studying our emotions because they are no longer capable of such things after destroying their genetic code, or something like that.

I do like the idea of having these meetings, unfortunately I just don't know when I could even do one personally. I work too much.:(
