CALIFORNIA DREAMIN'...


on such a...


Can we also stop at a church?

[morbo!]

Why not start by doing a Ventrillo chat on the Net.

Its quite fun to hear who's behind the oddback posts and avatars!

ventrillo or teamspeak but thats awhole other thread!

I can do a California meet. Sorry, but I ain't going to drag my collection along. :-)

Me too! Hey Donald, PM me, I live out in Palmdale and you can't be too far from me. My bud and I are thinking of renting a good sized u-haul, a bunch of blankets and hauling the L-150's, L-110's, L-300's and the 250 ti's.

You don't have to bring all of them, but the L-65's or the Dorians might be nice represantatives...

I like the idea of visiting with fellow forum members. However, it would cost me a fortune to bring any gear out there, and I'm concerned about exposing my gear, some of which is over a half century old, to potential damage during the trip.

Working for a company that manufactures smaller profile portable PA products I can tell you some wild stories about how we'd pack products for shipping to a trade show or for a sales demo, and we'd use heavy-duty military grade custom cases with plenty of padding for extra protection during shipping, and sure enuogh, in spite of all the measures we take, there still are instances of damage. I'm usually the first to find out about it since I'm the tech the people who receive the gear will call to walk them through trouble shooting to get things working again.

Regards,
Charley

Hotel conference room's the best location idea.

I'll bring the RTA....

[Titanium Dome]

These are the key issues. I've got an event planner working for me that can give me the skinny on conference centers/hotels/auditoriums, but the first thing she's gonna want to know is when.

So, if we can narrow down the date, that'll be priority one. What about the afternoon of 02/24, all day 02/25 and the morning of 02/26/06?

Yea, that was my first - and last - thought about this...

Not to worry - Bo'll bring his FOH gear and make EVERYTHING sound great!

[Steve Schell]

Rather than schlep all the gear to one spot, maybe we could organize a tour of several so. Cal locations over a weekend. I can demo a pair of Lansing Iconics and the "Big Pink" Lansing Monitor 500A at my place in Long Beach. I've also got a couple of rooms full of Jim Lansing era items to display.

If we put the central event in a proximate location, a couple of side trips would be possible, especially for difficult to move equipment. You can be the first stop.

I don't have the space to demo all my JBL stuff at once, so a bigger venue would be the only place to set it up.

Steve, now that you've weighed in, I have a couple more things to discuss with you, so a PM is on the way.

Just remember to listen to it before you look..not the other way around!

Dang Yankee.....Put your blinkers on and you'll be okay..

[morbo!]

Any chance of this thing becomming an annual event.
I would certainly plan a holiday around this avent!!!

Perhaps you ought to see how it goes the first time. You might not want to commit to the out-years just yet.
