Yet another east Coast LHS Social Event

[hjames]

With this unusually cool summer, I figure maybe we can get one more social event in this summer - and I suspect its my turn to host one of this things!
I'm in Fairfax city (VA) - and a couple of the usual suspects have been here already!

So - lets start talking about it now, see what we can work out!

How about a tentative date of Sat. Sept 12th -
thats a week AFTER the Labor Day weekend ... its 7 weeks off - not too soon I hope!

The place is kind of small and well packed, but maybe I can offload some furniture ahead of time!

Sounds good to me!

Any particular theme in mind as the hostess?

Not yet ... I'm still trying to clear the aquarium from the TV room!

Lately I've been going through DVD-A and SACD surround sound music - anyone else have an interest in that media?

Thanks for offering but the date doesn't work for me as I'll be shuttling daughter #2 back to college. But don't plan around me. I have a pretty busy calendar coming up with only two Saturdays open in August and two in September, and I will probably use one of those to visit my Mom.

Emma just reminded me of a previous appointment in August ... D'oh!

So, we'll need to find another date for such an event - maybe early September?
How about a tentative date of Sat. Sept 12th - its a ways off - we can adjust as necessary!

I'm doing sound for a local group that weekend on Friday and Saturday at two different locations. Big system. Lot's of setup involved. Good group though so fun to listen to, and I get to play monitor engineer.

Sorry.

As early September drifted on, and now its Octoberer already ... what say you, local peeps?

Columbus Day wkend won't work - how about either the 16th, or Oct 31st?

Was out doing yard work and such today - too many dog-gone leaves!

Doors open at 10AM - after breakfast but we'll have coffee and such if you want to bring bagels, we'll have a tub of whipped Philly for morning nibbles.

Around 3 or so we figured on firing up the grill for burgers'n'dogs and such - folks can bring a side or desert for that ...

Figure its all pretty fluid - lot of folks have dropped maybes but not sure who is coming from the North end ... or if the southern crowd is coming -

I've sent emails out to most of the local folks I could remember - anyone I left - just PM me!

Of course, Wilfredo is quite welcome - as is Dhar, and Steve, if they can find the time ...

I'm currently sitting on 2 pairs of Smith horns (walnut and JBL grey) plus short horns and long horns and the 2420s to rotate around.
If anyone want to bring a 2441 or 2 we could do an A/B with the upstairs pair of L200-plus speakers.

Hi, Heather,

This sounds like it will be yet another fine JBL get together! If there was even a remote chance of making it, Sweet Bride and I would be there in a heartbeat!! Darn it, too many miles, and not enough time or money, right now. Have fun, and I'll eagerly await pics and after-action reports!! Take care, and God Bless!

Every Good Wish,
Doc

Okay - original plan was to start at 10Am to give one of the weekend workers a chance to have some time before he had to run for work, but - he can't make it, so there's no reason to start that early - everybody else seems geared for afternoon hours ... that's cool too!
(we can forget the bagels and mornin' fare ...)


So - new event time is 2-8 PM or so ... so far, it sounds like a small crowd of half dozen or so - and this is a small house, so that works fine (grin) ...

You want to bring chips or a salad or desert or some such? That would be great.

We'll provide meat and bread/buns - around 4 or so we can fire up the grill and sizzle some meat or steak or whatever.

We raked the yard over the weekend, but this rain has brought another load to the ground - we'll just deal with that as it is!

If I don't know you're coming, please give me a heads up so we can have enough food for all. If you need directions/specifics just send me a PM

Hope to see you all here (hope it doesn't rain!) ...
