We have had two informal invitations to local gatherings in so many months, but nothing specifically for the AC Circle. Let's take a page from the NY Ravers and organize our meetings in advance, so everyone knows where and when.
Let's shoot for quarterly meetings for now.
Let's forget about August, I can't even get my best friends here for a hamburger, everyone's just too busy. So September or October would be a good month to start. October allows us to skip December too, another busy month.
You can also post invitations here for an informal or a last minute minimeet. It's OK to say limit 5 people if you don't have the room. Let's keep it real. Hosts shouldn't feel like they need to throw a wedding. People can bring their own food, or donate $5 to pay for everything the host provides, or for $10 for catering. Don't be shy about the details. I am picky about parking on the grass.
Neither the listening space nor the audio system need be exotic and impressive in order to have fun. Small rooms and inexpensive systems are fine. Audiophiles will always enjoy coming to hear a new system, to learn how you solved your problems with creative solutions, and of course to shoot the shit with other audiophiles. Audiophiles love to help others so if you are a newbie, don't hesitate to invite some guys over to hear your receiver. You can't imagine how much you will learn. And how much more fun you will have when you share the hobby with friends who "understand."
It would be fun to have a local DIY gathering where people can demonstrate there creations to receptive crowd and get some valuable feedback.
Comments and suggestions welcome!
Will someone volunteer to host an October meeting?
Thanks
Rich
