  • Acoustic Development Get Together Hot Springs June 7-9

    Acoustic Development Tres in Hot Springs, Arkansas
    Will be held on the campus of the Arkansas School of Mathematics, Sciences and the Arts (ASMSA). The school is located at the edge of downtown Hot Springs National Park within walking distance of Bath House Row, restaurants and entertainment. The Hot Springs Music Festival will be in full swing offering different venues of music during the weekend. We moved to June on the request of participants so in the evenings they can not only talk about music reproduction but attend live musical performances. To find out more about the Hot Springs Music Festival please visit their web page www.hotmusic.org
    Dates
    Friday June 7th to Sunday, June 9th You may contact me through the PE Board private message
    Housing
    Accommodations have improved with the completion of our new residence hall. Double rooms, either single or double occupancy are $25 a night. Linens (pillow, pillow case, two flat sheets, blanket, wash cloth and towel) is available for $5.00 more a person.The school’s web site is www.asmsa.org If someone wants something other than a residence hall to stay in there are numerous hotels and motels around. The Springs Hotel is where the school houses its visitors and it is literally across the street. Their phone number is (501) 624-5521 and web site www.thespringshotelandspa.com
    The Meet
    It is a pretty low key event. Everyone brings what they want to show off and listen to. Speakers and amps of all kinds usually make the trek. We give everyone a chance to demo their equipment and we usually have a conversation or two on construction and materials. Designs are often shared. We usually unload Friday and head out for dinner. Saturday we set up and start playing. We go out for lunch and come back for an afternoon session. Saturday evening is out on the town. The Music Festival will be here so there will be plenty of options. Sunday we usually wray up and by Noon people are heading home.
    Extras
    We have a place that can sharpen router bits, usually around $8.00 quite a bit cheaper than buying new one. If you were coming into town you could mail them ahead of time and pick them up when you arrive. The address is GB Services at 808 East Grand Avenue, Hot Springs, AR 71901. Toll free number is (800) 238-3564 if you want to inquire. That is about a ½ mile from ASMSA.
    Miracle Electronics is a second time around stereo shop in town. Some nice equipment and if you are looking for a turntable he has some buys. There is also a huge collection of vinyl albums. It is located at 203A Pleasant Street, Hot Springs AR 71902. It is located about ¼ mile away from campus. The phone is (501) 538-6930.
    I don’t have anything to do with either financially other than I have been their customer and found their services fair and reasonable.

      Good news too. The Brau Haus, German restaurant and beer house, is reopening. It was bought by three former employees. When Blair comes to town their sales always go up.

          Went to the old Brau Haus now the new Stein House(?). The taps have four foreign adult beverages and the food has some fusion in it, Curried Sausages I got to try. Very nice. Need to know what is shaking on people wanting to stay overnight or just attending Saturday. Hipcheck talk to me. Texas Boys any takers?

              I will be there!

              If no one minds my standard half finished projects I will bring a few things down there.

              Duct tape, raw wood, alligator clips, this is how I roll!

                Duct tape and alligator clips just make me feel welcome. I will be unable to attend this year as well unless we reschedule our trip
                to Houston to deliver some amps.

                You guys have fun. Behave!!

                        Well Hipcheck let me know if you need housing. I will put a schedule up for Saturday. I will have some of the Hot Springs Music Festival items on it. We have the German restaurant on the agenda. Food is good, I look forward to eating there again. Let me know how many we have coming so I can make appropriate plans.

                            We usually get about 7 participants but the Texas Clan is not coming this year so my guess is we have about 4 or 5 on Saturday. Last year we did a couple of workshops by Bob Brines of Brines Acoustic and Dave Thomas who has done some designs for half of Texas it seems. This year since it is during the Hot Springs Music Festival I would say we will demo equipment and then hit a concert.

                              Hipcheck is coming in Friday so he will stay over until Sunday I believe. Bob Brines, Tom Feinberg and Clyde the Cat will be in Saturday. I have the Boardroom reserved from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. so we can demo equipment. I have the schedule for the Hot Springs Music Festival so everyone can check out some event if they desire. That is what I know at this point.
