    OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM JASON (copied from HF):

    Schiitr-Less Meet December:
    Yearly Wrap-Up, Prizes, Beer n Other Gear
    Nueces Brewing Company
    Corpus Christi, TX

    Okay, consider this a pre-announcement of sorts: we're gonna be having a meet in Corpus Christi in December. As in, a meet meet. As in, bring ya gear, even if it ain't ours, set it up, and have at it. With beer. And prizes. Including all analog products we introduce next year, and all digital products we introduce next year.

    Yeah, we are nuts.

    That's OK, though, right? I mean, everyone wants to drive down to Corpus Christi in the middle of the week in the middle of December. Or maybe not. Which is why we'll also be streaming live, thanks to Randy at CheapAudioMan. So if you aren't in Texas, you can still enjoy(?) the festivities. You can't enjoy the beer or the barbecue or housemade carbonated lemonade, but hey, there are limits to what we can do without holodecks. Come on, 24th century! You're just around the corner. And much more rational than today. Maybe in part due to genetic engineering, because the premise that humans are the sane ones in a universe full of crazies is, well, kinda nuts. And they did have genetic engineering wars, right? Or is that not canon?

    Anyway. A meet. In person. In Corpus. With tables for you to set up any gear you want on. With beer and BBQ. And prizes. If that sounds interesting, please join us for:

    Schiitr-less Meet December
    At Nueces Brewing Company

    Wednesday, December 14, 2022
    4-8:30PM CT

    401 S. Water St
    Corpus Christi TX 78401

    If you want to bring gear and set up, please contact Denise Martin, [email protected], because space is limited on the tables. I'll see if I can bring some crazy thing. We'll see what happens!

    I hope to see you there!

    All the best.
    Jason

    I believe maybe the second Whataburger or something like that? Two stories. Yes, the burgers here taste slightly betterer.

    I am absolutely in.

    Edit: I am a dumb dumb that didn't realize this wasn't the weekend, I should have read. I will still be there, but is the weekend not an option?

    Seriously considering this and trying to make plans. Flight prices are not too awful. Just difficult because kids are still in school. So put me down as a maybe.

    Beer is good there too.

    Also, if nonalcoholic is your thing, try their housemade carbonated lemonade.

    I wish I could get out to these things. Cheers/Prost - virtual glass of wine with you guys. Hope to learn more about the gadget gizmo soon.

    Brisket and beer - very tempting. Pretty good group you guys have there. Phoenix is just too spread out for this type of camaraderie to sustain I think? The core group here are resilient though. Not big enough to warrant a Schiitr location here, at least I personally don't think so. I could be dead wrong. I'd be curious what the sales are like in Phoenix and maybe like 150 miles radius. We've had guys come down from one of the more Northern cities in the state in an electric car. He has to stop midway and recharge to make it in to Phoenix. He stays for one day of the show and drives back home. Same routine back. It's about a 2 hour drive in an ICE vehicle, but his stop for recharge each time adds hours to an already long show day. It's roughly a 300 mile day. We've also had guys from Albuquerque and Las Vegas show up. I think people have come up from Mexico even. Audeze is here often along with the Schiit travel pack (Which are awesome, thank you!)

    Tough times really kicked spirit in the dick. Maybe it's just a different spirit that isn't relatable anymore?

    Hope to see some where's waldo photos. Have fun gang.

    With this during the week and close to the holidays and the fact the kiddos got to get to the bus stop and home from the bus stop in time, I think I am out on this one. I would be putting my family out too much to make arrangements.

    If this was during the summer or the weekend or something when they are not in school, might have been a little easier for me.

    Downtown is good. I've stayed at the Omni before. Close to Nueces Brewing Company, Executive Surf Club, Railroad, etc.
