Room booked. Looking forward to meeting AC members I didn't get to meet last year. Look for a bald dude with a AC shirt on.

Rich/Maxcast: Um, you MIGHT want to be a little more specific than that

That's right be sure to stop by the AudioCircle hospitality suite.
Full bar, very nice waitress', expensive door prizes. Oh, John, I need your cc number again.

Agreed. What was it, floors 9 and 10, and the elevator was way worse than anything at RMAF. Still quite worth it. A fun show.

Thanks for the heads up (and the balding, hairy legs warning

).

Please remind again as we get closer.

You guys may want to know that the venue has been changed to a much better hotel, the Embassy Suites in Livonia. For details, see http://www.akfest.com/

MaxCast · « **Reply #12 on:** 9 Mar 2008, 12:45 pm »

Thanks for the info, Rich. That would have been a surprise.

pardales · « **Reply #13 on:** 9 Mar 2008, 01:57 pm »

That would be great. I plan to be there at least one day. I live in SE Michigan.

Updated Exhibitor list.
Make plans to attend, book your flights, rent a limo, sleep in the street just be there

bluemike · « **Reply #15 on:** 29 Apr 2008, 07:27 pm »

I heard Ridge Street will be one of the exibitors and they will be showcasing their proprietery speaker design the "Ridge Street Sason"

pardales · « **Reply #16 on:** 29 Apr 2008, 09:26 pm »

I was just wondering, if I have a bunch of extra vacuum tubes to unload, is there a venue at AKFest where I can do so? I'll be there with my AC shirt on.

MaxCast · « **Reply #17 on:** 30 Apr 2008, 12:02 am »

There are swap tables but I don't know how much they cost or if available.
I'd bring them and ask around. I know there will be interest.
