Austin TX — February, 2009


Hi,

It seems that there have been several failed attempts to get an Austin Audio Club up and running. I'm willing to give it another shot! Please post here AND message me privately if you're interested.

Even in Houston, 20 peeps at a regular meeting would be exceptional although the club keeps a pretty low profile. I would think 10 in Austin could be counted a success.
I'm getting the list together. In the mean time, please message me if you are willing and have the space to host a gathering in your home, and let me know what part of town you live in. I'm thinking a great turnout would be 20 to 25 folks.
I am interested, too.

Soliver, I will send you an email with my email address.
I just sent Rebbi the contact list, so he can send out invites for whatever he decides to do.

I maintain a list of audiohiles in the area that have an interest in these sort of things. It has about 40 folks on it.

I am willing to share the list with anyone who would like to host something.

Finding more willing hosts is what Central Texas needs to make meets a more regular thing (perhaps once a quarter)

If you have posted here and never sent me an email to be added, please do so, as I can't get your email address from your post here.

I have hosted quite a few times in the past, but just recently moved and still working to get my system sounding great in the new space. Fortunately my new space should make for a much better host site than my old.
Okay, folks, I'm willing to step up. Let me see what I can figure out. Stay tuned...
So, somebody needs to organize a meeting, probably at someone's home. I live in La Grange so I'm not that person. I belong to the Houston Audio Society but Austin is closer. HAS is very loosely organized and they like and keep it that way. They charge 20 bucks a year (voluntary!) and occasionally have reps and manufacturers in for demos. They also meet at dealers.

Step up.
Count me in also gents. Would love to gather and hear more gear and especially share thoughts on music.
I've been to a few events, not the least of which was Casey McCee's house/shop on 7th, filled with mega-buck toys. I brought some snacks and we had a good time. Another Austinite and Klipsch fan generously lent his house and equipment for a listening session a couple of years ago.
Make sure that all of you contact Soliver and send him your contact info so he can notify you next time we meet. Hope to meet y'all soon!

I just passed my name along to soliver, and he said he'd put me on his list. Hopefully I'll get to meet some of y'all soon! :-)
Hello Rebbi,

I second that. Soliver is the keeper of the list. Some of us have been getting together regularly over the past few months.

Sebrof,
Soliver is the man when it comes to keeping track of and notifying everyone when a meet comes up. You should shoot him a pm so he has your contact info and he'll give you a shout the next time we all get together to spin a few. Hope to meet you soon!

Best,
John
Rebbi,
There are quite a few of us here but I think that many of us just forget to check this area. We just had a little meet a month or so ago and hope to have another get together soon. Probably more Austin Audio-Nuts than you realize! Shoot me a pm when you get this.

Best,
John
I might be persuaded. Live in La Grange and belong to the Houston Audio Society but it's a bit of a drive once a month.
Man!!! I wish I was still in Austin, I would love to live there again someday...however, next time I would like to live on Lake Austin! Beautiful, just beautiful....
