Too much going on and my fellow audiophiles PM'd me with prior commitments and/or work conflicts. It's best to reschedule in August 2022 because Fri 7/29/2022 will not work for everyone. We need at least 3-4 to join in. Sorry guys but I know milpai, mikld, csmgolf and another friend of mine are interested. So stay tuned to this thread and happy listening. And all others let us know if your interested in an audio get together/ listening session. |
I have only heard from one person interested in an audio listening session at my place on Friday 7/29/2022 in Cuyahoga Falls at 730pm. It’s summertime so I know it’s very busy but PM me before 7/28/2022 if you want to come, otherwise I will try to reschedule the event later in August. PSA Summertime should be funtime!! |
Milpai, I am very interested in what you are doing, I just have not talked to anyone building thier own music server from scratch. There are so many advantages to this approach... I am sure you have thought of them. I wish you the best of luck and can't wait to hear your personally designed, engineered and hand built music server! |
So we had a meet and greet at Nervous Dog and a few of us had a great time drinking coffee and talking audio. For those of you who came or wanted to come I am hosting a smallish audio session at my place in Cuyahoga Falls. Most here can just PM me if you want to come. BTW csmgolf, we missed you at Nervous Dog, but I do understand we all have family/friends/work commitments and we do audio for fun. Thanks William |
Ok guys we are set for this Sat morning at 8am. July 23 at Nervous Dog coffee shop in Fairlawn Ohio for a Northeast Ohio meet and greet. Address again is 3763 West Market St. We have three of us, maybe four if csmgolf can make it based upon feedback I have from everyone. I am William and I will be wearing an orange jacket so you'll know who I am. I will come a little early to secure a table. Hope to see everyone in person... |
@reubent, not a bad seat in the house. We were front and center 2nd row at the war on drugs concert a month back, and we were so far in we weren’t getting much information from the main line arrays, we were hearing the onstage sound almost equally, but yes overall not a bad seat in the place. |
@mikld - Thanks for the reply. I lived in Cleveland in 1982/84 and visited the bars in The Flats on many occasions. Been back a couple of times over the years, but never to Jacobs Pavilion. Question: I’ve looked at the seating chart and it looks like nearly any of the seats would be decent for a show. The David Gray show had some really inexpensive seats, high in the reserved seating are ($39) and in the general admission areas ($29). Would it be worth a visit, even if I got stuck with less than ideal seats? |
@reubent Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica is set against the Cuyahoga River in the flats district, you'll regularly have large ship/boat traffic floating by behind the band which makes for a fun background while watching concerts, and usually there is a nice breeze coming through along the river. The sound system is good. the pavilion keeps the elements out. Plenty of parking available. Access to east and west bank of the flats to go to dinner or grab a drink via a couple bridges. Surrounding neighborhoods are a bit sketchy, but the flats area is pretty well trafficked with a lot to do. Overall its a great place to see a show, i've seen a lot there, my favorite was David Byrnes' American Utopia show, that was one the best shows i've seen. |
Ok guys. I think we have a date, place and time for a meet and greet. Looks like mikld and myself are on board. I have not heard from csmgolf (so if you are out there, come on by) and I think milpai might come. All others watching this thread, just come get a coffee and say hello. The place is Nervous Dog Coffee shop on 3763 West Market street in Fairlawn. The date is Saturday July 23rd at 8am. They have pastries and coffee and various drinks. I am hoping everyone can make it and that’s why I planned it early, because I know everyone has family, friends, events and things to do with the rest of the day. Also if you can’t stay too long or can’t make it, thats fine too. I plan another date later. William |
So it looks like the weekend of the 23 ,24 July are the dates most here can make. And it looks like Fairlawn is somewhat central and breakfast/coffee is a good option. Keep checking here and I will post details later. Thanks to everyone for getting back to me, it's the only way to organize this. I will offer to host the first audio get together but we all have to meet in advance first. |
@2psyop , Just returned back from a vacation that was family focused. Not 1 hour of listening to music or reading these forums. I am interested in meeting up. I am close to Fairlawn, but anywhere between Cleveland and Akron will do. |
I am going to try to put together a meet and greet possibly next weekend July 15-16-17. Of course anyone would be welcome to come but now we have myself, mikld and csmgolf interested. If you can make the evening on Fri, Sat or Sun let me know and we have to pick a place. If evening hours are not doable then the weekend of July 22-23-24 can we plan for a morning. You guys let me know which option is best and I will try to plan it. BTW Tom had planned some of these events in the past and he was really great at doing it. He emphasized patience because it can take a little time. Eventually the listening sessions we attended were awesome and worth all the effort. If you are out there Tom, my hat is off to you and we hope to see you again! |
csmgolf- good to hear from you again. I think at least two others are interested in a get together, maybe mlkld and milpai...They would need to join this conversation. I live in Cuyahoga Falls and we have to pick a place to meet up. I am willing to host an event but until we find out everyones schedule and a place that’s central or acceptable we might have to do a meet and greet for breakfast or something. Just thinking out loud... |
We have a launch. The Erie Audiophile Club is meeting for the first time at 6 pm Monday the 25th. We will be doing an initial meet & greet at Kokomo's outside patio at the Keys in Huron OH. This will be a time to talk audio, music, and to plan additional meetings. All subsequent meetings are expected to take place at members homes for listening sessions and audio talk. Anyone within driving distance is welcome. |
Would love to do an initial meet & greet potentially Saturday morning - maybe breakfast somewhere? We could plan the what, where, and when for a first meeting and listening session. We can also get a great idea of times and availability of each member for planning. Thinking about a 9am meet at a restaurant - maybe Vermilion? - so it's not as far for 2psop initially. Hey I'm opened for suggestions and am willing to host the first meeting after the initial meet & greet. Let me know your ideas. Since it's easier to set up a group email in outlook, please contact me: tjroberts at bex dot net. Hopefully spelling it out will avoid the Audiogon filter |
