    Tried to ween off audio and audio sites for awhile and forgot this thread was a thing (oops.) didn't get to look for anyone last Canjam as I volunteered both days, this time for sure though.

    @spwath, if you're still in the city you could try Hill Country's fried chicken place (saw someone mentioned the BBQ). It's pretty good.

    If you like Ramen I can recommend Menkui-Tei on 56th. Lots of Japanese businessmen there all the time and I've been going for years. Love that place.

    I might be able to host a very-mini meet at my place. I will also check and see if I could use a work conference room on the weekend. My firm probably would not be too keen on that but I can ask. But again it would need to be kept really small.

    If we wanted to do a weeknight, Tues or Thurs, I could get us a conference room at my office in Long Island City. We have some medium sized rooms downstairs that could fit 6-8. I could make that work on a weekend also I think, but it wouldn’t be as comfortable as Steel’s house.

    Let us know if the weekend options would work. I'd rather not do weeknight tbh. Having to go home from work and then drive out during rush hour with gear would suck.

    I’m taking most of the week off but I’ll check when I’m at work Wednesday or Thursday about the weekend possibilities.

    Hey all. I can get the conference room on weekends. As far as space goes, there's enough room for everyone that's interested so far. There's one big table for gear -- about 9 feet long -- that can seat 6 easy and the room is adjacent to various sitting areas so there's room for people to stretch out if they aren't sitting at the table.

    I've got a bunch of things happening in Feb so that's tough but if you want to get together sometime in January, possibilities are:

    • 1/6 or 1/7
    • 1/13 or 1/14
    • 1/20 or 1/21

    What works for everyone?

    @bozebuttons: location is Long Island City here: https://goo.gl/maps/EaKnu9EFzjL2

    Am also interested depending on the date. Would love to see everybody again. Work was crazy last year.

    Would've loved to come and meet the NY gang (I only get back to NYC on the 17th, sadly), but it seems it's going to be a good meet and I hope you guys enjoy!

    Maybe next time..

    No worries, we'll probably have more mini meets this year. Last year was pretty slow in terms of mini meets cause frankly, there weren't many interesting new products headphones wise.

    The NY CanJam is coming up pretty soon as well, so there's that.

    Indeed.. Won't be volunteering for CanJam this year, so hope to have more time to audition desktop and speaker gear this year. About time I got more acquainted with non-portable gear.
