Come one guys, any suggestions on a name? Danny's "North Texas Audiophiles" suggestion seems to be the one to beat so far...

What, the "North Texas Audio Fags" doesn't work for you?...

The name "Audiophiles" sounds so serious. I've heard people have confused it with "Pedophiles".

How about "North Texas Audioholics" (or Audioholics of North Texas "ANT")?

Whatever it is, I'll go with the majority.

How about "Cowboy Audio Junkies"?

Phil...You forgot the North Texas part....... or "North Texas Midnight Cowboys".... (look at this, guys from NY picking names for a group in TX

)

I'm in Garland and I'm in for sure. Sounds like a lot of fun for all of us. Lets do it! Figure out a good name though. I know the person who says were all "audio fags", but what does SHE know!

Audio Plexus of Northern Texas?
Northern Texas Audio Roundup?
Yellow Rose of High Fidelity?

One could go on for hours...

North Texas Audio Herd? (Or "Heard", for a somewhat weak attempt at cleverness)

Any one see a name they especially like so far?

The post by KJ...."North Texas Audio RoundUp"...sounds interesting. Audio RoundUp... rounding up members and equipement....

Moooooooo!!!

Yeah, the "North Texas Audio RoundUp" name seems workable (although "Audio Plexus of North Texas was kind of clever).

It looks theborg is willing to create the circle for us, so I guess I'll pick up the facilitator role to make that happen. This thread has meandered along for a bit now, so I'll just pick one of the previously suggested names later today if I don't get any more input.

Going once....

North Texas Ears, Beers & Queers?

j/k

Danny Richie · « **Reply #30 on:** 29 Jul 2004, 02:48 pm »

Watch it Josh.

Don't make me come up there.

While those who call me quickly note that they have contacted a man from the South, I am the furthest thing from a guy that you would associate with the words "round-up", "herd", "cowboys", or any other huckster terms.

While Texas is known for its Western heritage I have yet to see it held to high regard with the Audiophile community here.

I tend to favor:

Audiophiles of North Texas, or North Texas Audiophiles.

I agree with Xi-Trum, "Audiophiles" sounds serious. Like Frazier and his brother Niles and their society of wine snobs.

I like ANT. We can do alot with that acronym.

Me too.

So, now we have 2 votes for ANT.

If it makes you feel any better, Danny, I was raised about 1000 miles North of DFW, and appear unlikely to add any Southern or Western traits to my character.

True, but how much of a Mafia is there in Denver and how angry are the Southern Californians?

We won't even talk about NY and their "rave"!

Audiophiles of North Texas, or North Texas Audiophiles.

I was trying to encourage some level of uniqueness in the name, but those suggestions would probably withstand long term use more gracefully.

How about "North Texas Audio Jam"?

Hey not bad for a Yankee.

I kind of like that too.

Sorry brj but anything like the "Audio Rednecks" and the like just didn't fit me that well.

That is funny though in a stereotypical way.

cryoparts · « **Reply #35 on:** 29 Jul 2004, 04:03 pm »

That's a good one!

I'm for that.

kyyuan · « **Reply #36 on:** 29 Jul 2004, 04:28 pm »

Y'all... sorry for the late response. I'm definitely in on the "NTAJ." (downtown Dallas).

How about "LSAS?" Lone Star Audio Society.

Awh, try to get yippie-kai-ayh in there somewhere.

brj · « **Reply #38 on:** 29 Jul 2004, 06:13 pm »

And coming into the 3rd turn, we have two contendors fighting for the lead... will it be:

a) Audioholics of North Texas (ANT)
b) North Texas Audio Jam ("We be jam'n!")

Sorry, all "yippie-kai-ayh's" have been booted from the race by transplanted Northerners!

jackman · « **Reply #39 on:** 29 Jul 2004, 06:28 pm »

Okay, I'll give it a shot, how's about the:

The Audiophiles In North Texas or TAINT for short

Has a nice ring to it.
