Group Dinner and Listening Party With Ian Mackenzie - Come One/Come All

[toddalin]

Ian Mackenzie is coming from Aussi-land to Southern California for a visit. He will arrive on Friday, Jan. 18th and we would like to arrange for a group dinner and possible subsequent listening party at my place that night. The listening party could also occur on the following Sat and/or Monday (Martin Luther King Jr. Day).

For those who would like to join us, we are thinking about any of the following three places all located in Tustin. All are easily accessable from the 55 Freeway. We are thinking about:

Mimi's on 17th Street at the 55 Freeway:

Or El Torito, also on 17th at the 55 Freeway

I would like to get an idea of those who would like to attend and their restaurant preference so I can make the reservation. Please respond no later than Thur., Jan 17th. You can respond here or PM me directly. Let's make an evening of it!

Sounds like a lot of fun // though for some obvious geographical reasons I can't attend.

You have lots of neat stuff that would be fun to give a listen to .

Have Fun!

Hi Todd,

Thank you for the welcome.

This time l will get some sleep before l turn up.....
I arrive before l actually leave apparently which can make it a long day.

And l will speak some “Aussie” slang for those who enjoy it and tell a few jokes.
I may also bring some Koala bears and other more amusing souvenirs.

Some good ads for JBL stuff running locally on C/L right now. Maybe if this interests you you could prearrange a look/see.

How about a pair of 6290s for $260 with a very motivated seller? I actually contacted this guy a couple weeks ago but didn't need that much power and bought the Soundcraftsmen 300x4.

MORE POWER CAPTAIN!

Ah excess baggage and 240V at my end could be a limitation.
I also need to go shopping for the “wife” and the kid.

How about a Jbl garage sale? Bring you boat anchors....

Does Steve Schell till run his Altec museum? That was really cool. I mean l experienced a 1.5 watt digital amp blow the room apart with his sub horn!
