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

[Wolf]

I now know why....

Wolf, Hyatt Place show NO ROOMS that weekend.

Dates should still be valid, but hold on a sec...

Spouses take note: the Vera Bradley sale is the same weekend, and I have to block out some rooms for InDIYana event attendees. This is why there is a reservation problem currently. (They have a 2-night-reserve-only, $159/night due to this upcoming sale, which normally sells out this hotel completely that weekend.)

BUT- we get a lower group rate! If the amount of people wanting reservations at the Hyatt will clear this number of rooms, accomodations will have to be made elsewhere. There is nothing I can do about that. I have to see if the number is okay with the Hyatt sales staff, and go from there. The bad part about this is that the ladies wanting handbags may sell out other hotels for that weekend too. Your best bet is to reserve as soon as possible.

I will update with how to make a reservation for our group as the clarifications are set in stone.

So- just hold off on a reservation for a couple days, and I'll post how to get the info and proceed.

Thank you for your patience!

The wife and I will be there, even if we have to sleep in our car.

Well fellas- I didn't reserve any rooms for you guys.
I will contact Angie and see what's going on. I'd hate to have you all stay at another hotel than where this will be.

Stay tuned...

Thanks for the hard work again this year Wolf! I'll be there for sure with 2 pairs of bookshelf speakers and maybe a tower.

I put you down!

Are these guys beer drinkers? Just curious if I should show up w/ a 12 pack (or more?)? Hate to do that and find out one of thems a speaker at AA or something like that!

Also can't wait to go to this Indiana thing! Be awesome to meet some of you guys as well! Plus they have a great skatepark in Fort Wayne!

Glad to hear you'll get the nickel tour- something I've been meaning to get up there and do. Can't say about the beverages on premises. It is a business.

As to the event- no alcohol is permitted. They have a 'no party' rule.

Later,
Wolf

Looks like we're crashing at your place, Wolf. I call the couch!

Ahh - ohhh, this doesn't sound good.....

Confirmed. I just called and they are completely booked for Friday night. Wolf, by any chance did you reserve a block of rooms?

See the link in my siggy. It's being setup as we speak, so it'll explode from here on in... You need to go see the guys at Meniscus in your hometown. Tell Mark and Joel I sent you.

That's awesome!! Just got off the phone w/ Mark and I'm going to head over there tomorrow and meet em! Ironically, I used to lease some space in the same building as them years ago when I was bigger into cabinet making (custom kitchens, not speakers ;)). Can't believe I never knew :eek:! Can't wait to check out their setup!!

The kind of crappy thing is, I already ordered all the parts for my next build and they just started selling a kit for it, http://meniscusaudio.com/er18mtm-ribbon-p-1323.html

Can't wait to get going on this build and hear how these stack up to the Statements! Got to finish a staircase side job and a kitchen reface side first, should be about a month God willing!...

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

I would actually love to go to one of these and I'm in Grand Rapids MI, about a 4 hour drive from Ft Wayne. Obviously I wouldn't have anything new to bring to the table, I just got into speaker building. 2 sets so far, Tritrix and Statements and working on a 3rd and looking for a 4th set to build.

Where is it and what would I need to do to attend??

Nope, I'm from GR, its two and a half hours from FT Wayne. I've made the trip many times.

Hyatt Regency in Ft Wayne. Just bring your ears and have fun

Nope- 'Hyatt Place'. It's not a Regency. Very nice hotel.

All-
I let the gal know that the April 13th/14th is a go. Sorry you can't make it, Seth.

I'll be updating the site as it expands....
