Official Northwest Audioholics Get Together

[majorloser]

A couple members around here figured it was about time the Northwest had a major meet.

So I'm proud to announce the official:
Audioholics Oregon Coast Get Together or GTG

That's right, we're leaving our comfy little boxes on the East Coast to travel to the beautiful
Oregon Coast.




Thanks to the extremely generous offer of Average Joe to open his brand new home to us and allow such an event.
(even after Loserwife had a chance to speak to Joe's wife)

The official event date will be
Saturday October 10th

Advance setup will be on Friday October 9th

Sunday October 11th will be held open for an additional day of listening and equipment breakdown.

It will be held in the quaint Central Oregon Coast town of Lincoln City:

This event will primarily focus on floorstanding/tower speakers.

All attendees are welcome to bring their own speakers and gear.

Please feel free to send me a PM for more information or to sign up for the event. Be sure to include your real name, what town you're traveling from and what gear you plan on bringing in the PM. I will keep you informed of event updates and help you with any arrangements if needed.

For those of you driving from outside the area, please be sure to include what town you are coming from.
I'm quite sure there may be some who would like to work out carpools.

[engtaz]

Isn't that a little ways from your house?

[Funkmonkey]

It's official! I've been getting leaked information about this for a few months now, and fully intend on making the trip up the coast from SoCal. (I sent you a PM over at AC) Looking forward to this event!

Cheers,
Greg

We still got time for another summertime GTG at my home.

For those of you attending that might bring family, there is an awesome event happening that weekend on the coast.

Lincoln City Fall Kite Festival

http://www.oregoncoast.org/kite-festival/kites-fall.php

It's a big event with people flying HUGE kites all up and down the beach.

[ThA tRiXtA]

That's a far tour for myself, especially with all the things I have going on at home, so even though I can't make it I'd like to add I'm happy to see an Audioholics meet come together.

A big thanks for all those who took the time to set this up, the kind gentlemen who offered his private home up for the event and of course the event sponsors.

Here's hoping one happens sometime in the future on the eastern side of the continent for the rest of us to attend. Have a great time guys.

Cheers.

We held him at gunpoint and tortured him until he agreed!
