Private Party for all my AK Friends

[masterlu]

With 7 months notice who thinks they would be able to, or care to attend a Private AK Party in South Florida at my place? :music:

[Mr Slabi]

If only you lived closer :tears:

[markthefixer]

Please forgive my ignorance, but South Florida means closer to Miami than Orlando?

I have relatives in Tampa.

I have never visited them. (yet?)

[qboneus]

unfortunately I had to check no interest just because I couldn't afford to fly down from Mt to fla as much as I want to, let alone the fact that I would have to turn to a life of crime to even begin to assemble a system like yours.
I don't even dare gaze upon your collection lest I begin to tremble and drool.

[masterlu]

It's all good, I'm just taking a pulse to see if it would be worth it. I know everyone is scattered all over the World.

If we do have a get together, I will get some of Mac's Brass to attend. Maybe we can get some party favor's from them. :scratch2:

[Daytripper]

Wow with a system like you own it would be a once in a lifetime opportunity, A trip to Macwonderland!!! I sure would try my best to make it.
upon further thought, Change that to be there for sure!

[Dusty Chalk]

Depends what movie you're showing.

No, just kidding! That'd be rude.

Real answer: I wish. But probably can't do it any time soon -- my bandmates would kill me if I took time off that wasn't devoted to making music.

[Sandy G]

T'would be fun...Especially if I could bring a Loudenboomer or 3....<grin>

[greap666]

Probably would if I fell off the wagon before then :beer: .......

[Stereopal]

If I fly down from Toronto, do I get to take home a MC2KW ? :D

or a Ferrari ? :yes:


Kidding aside, what an opportunity to see a great system.


.

[Victor]

That is an offer that may be too good to pass up. It would be great to be able to put faces and voices to some of the great people on this forum. :)

I voted "would try to attend" at this point I would call it 50/50.

Victor

[luvvinvinyl]

Redeye, in and out, this could be do-able.

I would LOVE to see your system, home, cars, and, most of all, to shake your hand, and raise a glass to you.

[jimmyc1996]

Ivan
You know I'm in .Except a trip to Italy next month. I'll be in your area pretty much till the end of May

[Urizen]

What a generous offer! Florida in the springtime... :scratch2:

[rlrct]

T'would be fun...Especially if I could bring a Loudenboomer or 3....<grin>

Trust me - he already has more and bigger Loudenboomers then most of us will ever have!!! :yes: :yes: :yes:

[jrsystems]

Oh how I would love to come! It would be extremely difficult for me to pull off, but I would try.

What a wonderful offer!

[mike175gr]

Ivan, I would certainly make a go of it! :thmbsp:

[Negotiableterms]

Ivan, I would loooove to come!

Grumpy just posted the dates for AK Fest 2007, March 24/25. Right after that, there's the dreaded April 15th, when the IRS seizes all our spending money.

When would "7 months from now" fall, exactly?

[SPL db]

My wife works for the Hyatt reservation center here in Omaha NE...

She/we get free comp rooms at the Hyatt hotels and resorts (nice perk I know :yes: ).

She loves to go to Florida (she'd move there if given the chance), is there a Hyatt anywhere
near where you're at? :scratch2:

Wouldn't have any trouble getting it past the wife, problem would be the price of airline tickets
around that time... could be do-able... :scratch2:

[George47]

Can I vote 2 and 3 as I am already getting signs of addiction.

I may be over in the US in April on business and might be able to 'bend' the itenary to come to a party, party. Certainly would be worthwhile and I believe you have a nice car collection :yes: It would be interesting to see what a big Porsche looks like compared to my small Porsche.

When I was last over friends told me that it was cheaper for me to fly from the UK to the US than for some of them to fly internally in the US; crazy.

And as they say over Thanks Geezer :thmbsp:

[snapshotjc]

I would love to see such a system, and being lucky enough to only live about 3 hrs. North of you in the Melbourne area, I'd be thrilled to partake in a visit/party/happening! I must admit that I'm afraid that the addiction might very well rub off too, but I'll have a great reason to live after your party :banana:
It's a wonderful offer, and I for one, would love very much to see a "real" system that is never going to be possible in any dealers showroom :thmbsp:
It truly is a work of art, what you've been able to put together, and I would be honored to attend. You have put together what few, if any, have been able to do, and I sure wouldn't want to miss such an offer of kindness and true love of this hobby/addiction/obsession that we all have in common. :ntwrthy:

Jim :D

[masterlu]

I'm flexible on a date, so once I get a feel for the initial response, we can all vote on a Month that's best.

I would say 25+ definitely attending would make it worthwhile. We'll see :scratch2:

[masterlu]

I am located closer to Miami, but 1 hour north.

[adg57]

I have a customer in WPB who may need help at that time (whenever that might be). Great offer - would love to hear some of those demo tracks.....

[Sandy G]

I'd love to hear "Slow Ride" by Foghat....<grin>

[whoaru99]

Geez, I'd love to, but 7 months doesn't line up with the last week of February. Shoooot...

[Duffinator]

I'm in Miami on business once or twice a year so if I could coordinate the trip I'll be there. ESPECIALLY if a ride in a Ferrari is involved. :yes: :thmbsp: :D :smoke: A few hours checking out your system would be a lot more fun than visiting Disnyeworld.

[ehoove]

:yes: Masterlu, A very generous and gracious offer. I will certainly attend as long as the timing works out schedule wise. I wouldn't miss the opportunity to take in all your hard work and dedication to our hobby (er ah addiction) May I be so bold to ask if the wife can come also. I've shown her pictures of your room and she was very impressed, but was quick to add - Don't you Dare! :scratch2:

Of course, wives or significant others would be fine!

Ferrari ride, now your pushing it! :naughty:

[Mike in Va]

I'm a relative newcomer to AK, but I've got a location in Ft. Lauderdale that's available to me.

Given the time of the gathering, I'd easily jump on a plane for this, if invited.

And you can bet I'll have them in my Theater! :yes:

I would say that I would be 80/20 on going it just depends on the date. But I will make it if at all possible. Once the date is set I can let you know for sure.

Thanks for the great offer to Listen to and see one of if not the best systems in the country!!!!!!

My pleasure, thank you my friend :thmbsp:

[FZfan]

Masterlu,

My wife and I would both love to see your system, I have family in northern Florida and we could make a trip out of it. Count us in! :thmbsp:

I'll hold off on the fireplace duct tape until after the trip! :D

[masterlu]

OK, sounds great. Just trying to make heads or tails of the 28 that may show up.

[SPL db]

masterlu, do you have a Hyatt any where near where you live?

Scott

[masterlu]

Yes, we do!

[alwayslooking]

Honey, we're going to Florida
Great, I can't wait to go to Disney and Seaworld.
We're not going for that. Masterlu has a Mac setup that is out of this world. Look at these pictures. Look at those beautiful VU meters. Honey, honey where you going?

Thanks for the generous offer but probably would not make it.

[stormy]

Surely it would be worth the short trip from Orlando... beautiful area down there, plus a gathering of fellow stereo extremists. I'm in!

[Holst]

Thank you for a wondeful offer, but I wouldn't be able to make it.

[SPL db]

Yes, we do!

Great! My wife works for the Hyatt Reservation center here in Omaha.

She/we get free comp rooms... if it's close, you'll be easy to find! :yes:

Way to go Stormy! :thmbsp:

[hausman]

I would love to come down to meet you and your theater room :D Seriously,
I have friends in Sarasota and the wife and I were planning a trip in april or may? I'll watch for what dates you come up with.. beautiful job congrats !

[Quad4Life]

masterlu,

I am a relative newbie to AK and am enjoying it. I would love to see your system that I can only dream about owning at this time, but I won't be able to make it. I'm getting married next year and just got a house this year so money is going elsewhere. :sigh:

Maybe I'll be able to attend a future party, and maybe I'll have a Mac of my own to talk about by then. :music:

Thanks for the generous offer and take care.

[PHC1]

I'm overdue for a vacation. Florida is always nice in spring. Masterlu has a kick-ass home theater and he is inviting to his private party. Looks like all the stars are beginning to align. :D

[jesse111]

Masterlu, might you have horses? If you have horses my wife would see to it that we would be there. We used to own horses but had to give it up for now. She loves horses like I love Mac. If not, might there be a horse wranch of a friend of yours close by? That would also work. Having a look at that Mac system of yours is like the 8th wonder of the world for us Mac folks.

Can you rent a horse for the weekend? C'mon, help a fella out. :D

[qboneus]

I think if I remember right he has an italian stallion, which is the horse to have.IMO

I have over 1600 Horses in my Garage, really! :yes:

On the bright side, the community I live in is Equestrian, so she is in luck. I will keep everyone posted!

Thanks, Masterlu

[Wardsweb]

I'm always looking for a good place to hold my annual board of directors meeting. So, just let me know when the event will take place and which airport would be the best to fly into.

Will do, Ft Lauderdale Airport.

[luvvinvinyl]

I can picture it now. Luther ushers the BoD into masterlu's HT venue, and presents the annual report on the astounding McIntosh system. Can you see a roomful of jaded executive types, mouths agape, and eyes bugging out, in awe of the experience?

"Management recommendations are all ratified? Thank you, gentlemen, for your time. This concludes our report. See you next year."

[Ampzilla]

A nice invitation. I would try but since I am a few states away and it is a bit off I don't want to promise just yet.

[masterlu]

Looks like it would be too difficult to orchestrate a Party for a group since we are scattered about the Country.

Next best idea is to have kind of an open house for AK'rs that visit So Florida. I have had numerous PM's requesting a private listening/viewing.

So, make sure we have communicated via PM a few times so I get to know who's who.

I have made quite a few upgrades for those who have even been here last May, you will be very impressed!

Looking forward to Meeting some of you :thmbsp:
