You can hardly find one in the south at allDoes anyone have an idea when/if the next audio show is due in the Atlanta Georgia area? I would love to know what's happening and when? Thanks much.

Right on Prerich that's what I was thinking. It's a shame audio does not see this area as having lovers of great music and those instruments that make it.

Read in my TAS that the Chitown event will become an annual one.

My guess is that they'll give it a couple of years and then re-evaluate.
But they have an advantage that the guys from Music Direct are really backing the event.
Chicago has IMHO a big advantage *if* they can find a hotel with decent rooms.
1. Major airline hub so inexpensive flights can be found.
2. Reasonably priced hotels can be had.
3. Good audiophile base.
4. Lot's to do in Chicago for the family.
Also, public transportation is good, with the el going out to the airport. Not to mention that New Yorkers can finally get to taste real pizza.
Just kiddin' New York pizza is way better than deep dish.LOL....well ribs anyway
Well, real ribs are from the south IMHO. On the real though - I know that most northern cities such as Chicago have a lot of things to do and a larger financial base, but the show in J'ville was just nice!!!! My wife and I headed down to St. Augustine because it was so close and really made a trip out of it. We were hoping that they would give J'ville another chance (its within driving distance and since the show is in March - its usually warm in the south). I couldn't believe my wife had a good time at an audio show!!! I can't see flying to Chitown just for three days...I don't see why Tampa hasn't gotten a shot yet.

Axpona was in Atlanta several years ago and was far from
Well attended. My wife and I attended and heard a couple of great systems.
Don't know how long you've lived here but Atlanta , but even in the heyday of high end audio retailing (70s, 80s and 90's) has never supported the high end market like other similar size cities!
My bet would be, with the possible exception of CEDIA, we won't see any high end audio shows here!
Good Sunday Evening Audioguy,
Thank you so much for your response. I was a visitor here when the last audio show happened. As a matter of fact that is when I found out about the Atlanta Audio/Video Club and decided to join. I thought I would meet a number of people who had an interest in reel to reel decks and recordings. So far I've not found a resource where I can go to hear great reel to reel tapes played on studer/ampex tape decks. Not that I am dissatisfied with my Tascam 32-2B and 42B decks, but I've never heard a studio Ampex or Studer tape deck and would love to hear what a great tape would sound like. I actually thought this (Georgia) would be a better venue than Baltimore where I moved from in 2011.
I've heard the club might have a representative from the Tape Project come down to play some music but a gentleman I met at one of the club meetings will provide a tape deck to play the tapes. I've never heard him mention a Studer or studio Ampex. I certainly hope the reel to reel tape thing will take off here and bring more audio lovers out of the woodwork.

LOL....well ribs anyway
Deep dish is OK, but I prefer thin crust. There's an insanely good place over an hour away that I'd put up against NY pizza...a tall order!
For ribs, there's a good place about ten miles from here and what I consider to be the world's best about 40 miles away, counting those from the South.
Myles, take your pick next time you're here and I'll take you there.
You are right because Chicago deep dish pizza blows just like the wind in the windy city. Who likes pizza dough made from pie crust? Now let's talk steak. I had one of the finest steaks I have ever had while attending Axpona. Gibson's Steak House is the bomb. Simply phenomenal tasting prime beef. It makes Ruth Chris seem like a bad joke.
You might not say that about deep dish if you went to Pizzeria Due on the near north side. Best I've had. But my preference is thin crust.
By the way, the nickname 'windy city' didn't originate from the weather but rather from the windbag politicians and the political machine. Convicted ex-guv Blago, for instance. Some things don't change.
