RMAF 2012 - who's going?

[mep]

Won't we all have name tags anyway I also have a friend coming.

It’s not the name tags. What Steve is talking about is the table was so long last year that you really could only talk to the people that were sitting right next to you or across from you. You couldn’t hear what was going on much further than that. The ambient noise level of the restaurant was pretty high (The Bent Fork-thankfully not named after the quality of their beef). I’m surprised that someone didn’t whip out their I-Phone with a SPL app and measure the background noise.

I’m fine with the Bent Fork and I would also be fine with trying someplace different. It’s the company that really matters.

I would like to go, but it would probably infuriate the ball and chain. I will have to approach her on the possibility when she is in a good mood, maybe I can convince her she would like to go, too.

Then again, when she see what some of this stuff costs, she might be even less sanguine about the hobby than she already is.

I told her if I didn't do audio, I would have to start working on motorcycles, so she relents.

With respect to name tags: I find printing What's Best Forum under your name gets you added attention from exhibitors

 

[DonH50]

Is that good, or bad, attention?

 

[Lee]

I will be there.

 

[Gregadd]

That depends on what room I was in. Good vibe from PS Audio,Genesis, Sanderssoundsystems,NOLA, Walker turntable,Evolution Acoustics, Emotiva... No idea what they thought of me.(smile)

Carl-Aren't you getting a little long in the tooth to be having your wife tell you what you can and can't do? Wouldn't she be glad to get rid of you for a few days? Come on man!

Not totally p-whipped, but do have to take into consideration domestic peace. Application in advance with grudging approval is the best I can expect.

My wife's frugality and budgeting has served us very well, so I don't begrudge her occasional censorships.

I liked the “not totally P-whipped” comment. Just ¾? ½? Seriously, I have been married for 34 years and I have only been married once. I have reached the stage in my life where if I want to do something like go to the RMAF, I don’t ask permission-I just tell her I’m going. Even if your wife was more jealous than controlling, what safer place can you be than hanging around a bunch of audio nerds? The Strolling Bones have an album called “Get Yer Ya Ya’s Out.” You need to get your onions out and tell the wife you are going to hook up with some audio geeks for a few days. Either that or you are buying a Ducati and taking up GP racing.

Unless you're at CES at the same time as the AVN convention! Plus I have a motorcycle! Damn I love my wife!

My wife's coming with me to RMAF, as she has for three of them. I, too ride a motorcycle! I love my wife!

I think she is afraid Diana Krall is going to have her way with me.

I bet she is! Seriously, some women's jealously can confound all common sense. Jealous women think that just because they are attracted to their husband that every other women is too and they are all out to take their husband away from them. The reality is that some of these jealous women are married to guys who are so homely they could scare a hungry bulldog off a meat truck and yet they still think that some beauty queen is ready to snatch them away. Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder, and some beholders are truly blind.

I think there is a compliment in there somewhere.
I recall trying to talk my friend and his wife out of getting a divorce. My final approach was "Who else would want you?"
It did not work.

Can't scare a bulldog off a meat truck, but I did scare a chihuahua off a chicken bone, once.

 

[Saturntube]

I might be showing up, it would be great to meet!

For Carl:

 

[flez007]

Steve - we will be at least two, myself and Jorge Sadurni.

 

[Mark Seaton]

Count me in as well, and this year I'll be sticking around for the entire dinner.

Someone should definitely have name tags for to wear with forum handles on them. The idea of a bar+appetizer time block where we can all converse and move around would be great while also allowing us to assemble the group prior to seating.
