Just thought I would note a big GTG an AV123 Forum member is putting together for the 26th of May in Aliso Viejo, CA.

You can read the main thread here: http://www.av123forum.com/showthread.php?t=21278

Here are some notes posted over there:

Greetings...

I'm in the midst of lots of prep and plan for this GTG "back home" in So Cal. I personally want to make this the best GTG ever... Although I will be there only at the morning of the even day (Gracie Ballet schedule has changed) and then I'm off to Moscow Monday afternoon... (Uncle Paul I owe you an e-mail about this)... I really want to pump up the volume in a big way...

I'm in talks with several friends right now to provide seminars at the event. We hope to have this all final and complete in the next few days - but there is talk of the following:

Subwoofer set up

Video Scaling

Cables

Lossless Recording

CD Mastering

Room Treatments

on and on...

I've decided to break the piggy bank and offer the following prizes for each 25 people in attendance... so if we hit 100 people... multiply these prizes by FOUR!

1 pair x-ls in choice of finish

1 pair x-sls in choice of finish

2 x-cs in choice of finish

1 coupon for a pair of MFW-15's @ $599

1 coupon for a BMF-1 @$1200

1 pair of x-statik in Satin Black

$100 dollar off coupon to everyone in attendance purchasing any system from av123 over $1000 dollars. (everyone gets this gift regardless)

2 $100 dollar coupons for Neotech cables

and ONE Grand Prize (do not multiply by 4 - one only please)...

A set of Rosewood Mini Strata's...

I'll have more to add to all of this soon...

Thanks once again...

All the best...

...and from the event coordinator:

Folks - this is going to be an amazing event. Mrs.AndyS and I are really excited to have you guys visit our home and share this event with us.

If you can possibly make it I strongly urge you to PM Mrs.AndyS and let her know (she's keeping count of the numbers). Also, let us know if you have any special requirements (food, access etc.) and we'll do what can to accomodate. Make sure you include your email address in the PM.

Some of you have asked for directions and times. We'll be emailing everyone with those details, along with some maps that Hugh has kindly put together for the occasion - thanks Hugh!

See you all in a few days!!

Andy

Since I'm not an AV123 forum member, who can I call or email to join you folks?  Thanks.

I don't know if they want me to post their email publically so at the moment, you need to register at the AV123 Forum and then either email or PM Mrs.AndyS or AndyS.  You can find them via the link I posted above.

I will also alert them to this post and they can list their email address if they wish.

Please do come... it will be a great time!

Thanks,

Sean

"I can confirm that there will be 5 systems set up to listen to.

MLS - Call us whenever you can - after 7.45 Pacific (once the kids are in bed) would be best - then you can have our undivided attention!

Andy."

Five systems?  I will be there 

Edit.  I had an idea.  For those going to the GTG, please see the link for my FS/FT at the GTG here:

FWIW, I've been to one of these GTG that was sponsored by AV123 in the past and they are the best. I doubt if you can find any other company that is so generous like AV123. You get free food and chance to win some nice speakers... plus get to meet some nice folks and opportunity to check out some new toys. I highly recommend anyone who live in SoCal to attend this one. It will be well worth your time.

Too bad that I couldn't make it to this one due to schedule conflict.

Hi everyone.

We'd be glad if some of you joined us.  You'll find much more info on the thread over at the AV123 forum, but feel free to PM me if you're not signed up over there.

Andy.

GTG is less than 18 hours away.  Last chance for some local deals at the meet!

I've sent Andy a PM asking about joining in but in case he doesn't see it, can someone let me know if it's still possible to join and the necessary details  such as time. address, and anything else pertinent?  I'm a short drive from Aliso Viejo.

Thanks.

It was a beautiful GTG, and I posted pics and some impressions here:

Nice shot of me stuffing food in my mouth, Jon.
