OK, now all you boys down there be careful now and don't get yourselves into any trouble, heah?

You Mac boys, don't forget your meter-blue paint to put on your faces, and the Pioneer folks: did the Flouroscan Floozies show up yet? Oh, you Bottleheads all have your funny hats on by now, right?

Well let the games begin! Golly, wish I was there. :D

The whip has been officially cracked! :whip:

[Sandy G]

Hell, I gave 'em an extra hour & a half-I get up at 5.30, come hell or high water, & see no reason why ANYONE needs to sleep beyond then...

[matel]

And too hung over to operate a camera? How about a shot every so often to give it a live sense for us.
Theres a huge gulf between the Fest
the rest of us nuts.....

[MrGee]

The fest has enjoyed a good turnout.

I dunno about buying it, but watching the meters on the big pretty blue lighted meters hit the 300 number on the tube monoblocks in the McIntosh room was fun!

[MrGee]

Oh yeah, there were other things that were fun as well. The Audio Note room was sounding pretty sweet.
Salk/VanAlstine...WOW!
The many choices from Madisound.
Infinite baffles from Hawthorne. OMG! Sweetness on a watt. Literally...ONE watt.

I have pics, but no naked people with whipped cream or anything, just the gear.

The little system that Whiplash audio had on display for the computer was really cool.
For the guy who has it all, this takes your computer and your ipod and makes it sound like a wonderland.
Pictures will follow, too tired right now.

[clydeselsor]

Tired schmired!! Post the pics!!!

Wait a minute... You missed the fest because you were driving around all day wearing nothing but kids clothes?:nono::D

[jimbofish]

Uh... well, that actually would have been more fun.:no:

At least tomorrow will be the first of three spring clean-up days. Last year I found a Yamaha CR-640 and a brand new pressure washer.:thmbsp:

[wajobu]

Wiggy's here! And he's takin' pitch-yas!

[MrGee]

These were really special...on one watt.
