Hotels will often rent a meeting room, and sometimes libraries have rooms for free or minimal charge. If everyone brings a strip and extension cord it usually works out since our gear doesn't use all that much power...

Howdy.
 
I would be interested in a meet.  Don't have much to bring, other than these suggestions (and my new FiiO X3)
 
Venues I have dealt with:
 
Northland Public Library:  Very nice library.  Has conference room to rent for $25-$45 depending on if we want single or double room. Noise shouldn't be a problem
 
Kings restaurant on 60 (Crafton location):  Has a seperate dining room for meetings, free if 2-3 folks buy lunch or dinner.  $25 if we just use the space.  They have turned off their PA system at our request for radio club meetings.
 
Im sure there are plenty more, if you need ideas let me know.  Having a headcount will help.  I might also be able to get us access to our radio club's meeting space if the number of folks coming is fairly small, but would need to bring it up at our next meeting to make sure there are not objections.  Radio club has several separate rooms that could be used for listening booths perhaps with some isolation.
 
Let me know if you would like me to ask about the radio club, or dig up contact info for the other venus for ya'll!
 
Thanks!

Hmmmm... This would only be about 3.5hrs away for me and I've never seen anything closer.  So if it happens I may be there depending on the day.

These are great ideas. I priced a few hotel meeting rooms and they are much more expensive. Let's try and agree on a date.

 

[Za Warudo]

I'm usually available on weekends.  

 

[BrianCooney]

Weekends are best for me too, but August is going to be crazy-stupid-busy because I am in the process of moving into a new house.
 
Anyone interested in getting a weekend on September on the books?  Is Sat/Sun better for you folks?
 
If we can mabey get 5-6 interested in a date, I can make the calls.  Depending on numbers,, we may want to make it a lunch Kings since that wont cost us anything other than lunch

I am going to look into a location that would be free, at the university where I teach.

How about about Saturday, September 20?

 

[BrianCooney]

September 20 works for me.  It is penciled in on my Calendar.

Can anyone else make September 20, 2014?

Hi folks. I just saw this thread. I stay in State College and can definitely make it on Sept 20th. As of now, I can bring 3 headphones and 2 DAC/amps (see my profile for details). I am looking to buy a new set of headphones (Mr Speakers Mad Dogs) and an amp (Schiit Asgard 2) pending approval from my wife! On the software side, I have a Qobuz subscription as well. Let me know if there's anything I can do from my side.    

 

[Za Warudo]

I can probably make it on 9/20. I can bring the HE560.

 

[Tjj226 Angel]

Greetings from virginia. I might make the drive up there and spend the weekend there for a mini vacation. I have some tube amps that I can bring along for the ride, but I doubt I will have a source. (roommate spilled coffee on my laptop : (   ) ​

 

[B-Dawk20]

I would be interested possibly depending on the location. I'm coming from Delaware @_@

If I did come, it would be with at least three other friends who have gear. We've been looking for a meet to go to before october

 

[JML]

I can't do the 20th or get a room on campus.   Sorry.
