Re: I know it is early, but.... InDIYana??

I'm aiming to make it--I have the drivers waiting around for another build I intend to have done by then, which would be fitting to use the tweets I took home from the last InDIYana event I was at.

I could also bring a pair of Curt's Sten IIs...

Re: I know it is early, but.... InDIYana??

I just might have to rent a white van... so I can bring the big speaks out to play for once. If I can verify I'll be around that weekend (work may put me in India for a few weeks or more...)

If I make it I can haul amps just as easily too... if desired.

Re: Ge-BUMP!

Thanks so much for putting in the time and effort to make this happen. I'm really looking forward to it. I assume it'll be a little less structured than MWAF, and we'll be able to sit back and enjoy some music. While I really liked past year's MWAFs, I really wanted to be able to sit in the "sweet spot" for a while and listen intently to the differences among speakers. I always seem to be at the back of the room, and have to hear the music filtered through three dozen heads.

It's a lot more laid back than MWAF. We have a lot more time, a lot fewer entries, and a lot less chaos. It's the 5min house/5min designer for cuts, so bring your demo-disc.

Update:
It also looks like there will be a FR driver shootout after dinner on Friday evening. It shouldn't take much time.

Later,
Wolf

Re: Ge-BUMP!

I would appreciate an updated headcount if you are not present on the attendee list, or want to change your maybe status.

Please PM, e-mail, or post you are attending if you have not done so.
That said- we're sitting at about 20-23 pair give or take, and not quite 30 people.

Wolf

My wife has an affection for Coach handbags, but on Vera Bradley we tend to agree with your girlfriend....

There's a Coach outlet by us... You should hit up the next Chicago event. ;) My wife likes her Coach bags, but she refuses to pay full price for them. And they do last longer than the other stuff she's bought...

InDIYana- Officially the 13/14 of April....

The reservation was finalized this past week.

Now on to sponsors....we have 2 already!
I'll be in touch,

Hey Ben,

Forgot to mention I'll be bringing my Speedsters. I can be a semi-official photographer again and do the real time posting, if you wish. I'll have a laptop and connectivity, etc.

:D

That sounds like a plan!
Thanks,
Wolf

My wife and I are staying at the Days Inn, which is only a few blocks away from the Hyatt. We're cheap, and the $54 per night sounded pretty good. Reserve now if you'd like a room there, since it looks like they're almost booked solid.

Re: I know it is early, but.... InDIYana??

All set...thanks Ben.

Guys -- Since I'm going solo, I have some space. If anyone gets in a crunch, they can bunk with me. Just staying over Friday night. Must be willing to play by my rules which is loud music and beer until 3am :p

Well, those rules are pretty draconian, but if I manage to get there, I guess I could live under them...:D

Re: More information....

I sent out an e-mail with those on the list I've had before from my contacts with information pertaining to making a room reservation. IF you are not on this e-mail list and did not get a message pertaining to how to make a reservation, please PM me here, or send a query to the e-mail address on the InDIYana website.

Of note- you will have until March 13th to make a reservation for one of the 20 rooms I have asked to be set aside, and then the remaining rooms if any will become NLA for the 'group' rate and reservations. The rate for us will be $119/night.

I know a lot of you like to split room costs and share a room, so hopefully this numbr is not seen as too low. I looked at the attendees from last year, who stayed at the Hyatt, who split rooms, who had single arrangements, and added 5 rooms on top of that total to come up with 20.

DanP- I'll send you a PM, as I know you want one...


So- the arrangements are pretty much set in stone as for when, where, what, and how. The Who is to be determined! :D

Worked like a charm - $136 out the door. Nicely done, Wolf!
