Montreal Show: April 13-15

Spirit · « **on:** 29 Jan 2007, 10:01 pm »

Hello fellow TAASers:
Seeing that we are all still on a high after Dayglow's smash-hit Amp Comparo, it seems appropriate to advise everyone of the upcoming show in Montreal:
It is called:
Festival Son & Image 2007
The Home Entertainment and Electronics Show
Link: www.fsiexpo.com
Dates open to the public:
Friday, April 13
Sat, April 14
Sun, April 15
Venue:
Sheraton Centre - Downtown Montreal.

I am planning on being there. If it is half as good as the Rocky Mountain show, it will be a blast. I think this is a must for any A/V hobbyist, since we no longer have a show of this kind hosted here in Toronto.
I would like to know how many of you are interested. If we can obtain committments from you, maybe I can look into some discounts on hotel rooms.
I know that the Sheraton is already almost sold out, but we can always stay at another hotel in the vicinity.
And here is the most important aspect: As a group, we TAASers could visit rooms together, get together for a drink in the evening, etc.. It would be a great weekend of sweet sound and great home theatre.
Anyone game?

Spirit, In the past two years I arranged discount room rates, on a group basis, at the Marriott Chateau Champlain (for a different event than FSI expo). If interested, PM me for details.

Sounds like fun I haven't been back there in a year or so perhaps we could share the gas if we drive or rent a van to help keep costs down.

All,

The FSI Expo in Montreal is my favorite show... great location, a BIG crowd, beautiful women (yes, there are women who come to this show!), and FUN!

I'll be there for a 3rd year in a row (Room 926, shared with Louis of Omega Loudspeakers).

I hope to meet a lot of new TAAS members there, as well as some old faces ... please visit us!

Best regards,

Vinnie

Are you interested in cost sharing with a few others to rent a minivan?

I live a little east of Toronto (Oshawa) Do you have a way to get here?

I really want to hit up this show.. I hope I can manage to work something out...

I'm in for any discounts. Will be bringing a friend, and can share 2 more seats. Though taking VIA might be nice...

hello TAASers

if anyone is not planning to go to the montreal show because of a lack of $$$, I'd be willing to host them at my apartment. I've got a fairly large place (in terms of city apartments) and have a couple of extra fold out beds (one comfortable and one not) and plenty of floor space. 2-3 would be comfortable, more would be pushing it. If there is a large demand I'd probably give priority to students and those on limited income....

I'm one block away from a bus that takes you downtown- probably 30 minutes to the venue. It's in a nice area of montreal with lots of cafes, etc...

just being neighborly.. p.m. me if you'd like to go but can't because of $$$

Jim,

I may PM you here in the near-future. I'm not a student (students age though hehe).. but broke is one thing I certainly am!!!!! Still, I'd love to attend my very first audio show! Will you be personally attending as well?

Cheers

yes, I plan on attending although not sure how much I'll be able to get down there. do PM me, as I said I wouldn't want an issue such as $$$ prevent anyone from coming down..

cheers
