I'll do what I can promoting it even though I don't know if I'll be able to attend until we get closer to the date. Event name suggestion..."audio orgy" or "hifi orgy". Very classy.

We'll need a lot of help from our members to help promote the event, assist in set up, tear down, etc.  All of us want this event to get better and grow.  We are trying do do some disciplined planning.  Your enthusiasm is welcome!  Thank you!

I asked a few questions on this thread and none of them have been answered.

Greetings Mark!

The only question that I saw was "should I make a flyer?".  YES!  I'll get you more details soon!  Thank you!

Yes flyers would be step up in marketing.   I would guess that good places to put em would be -

- The stairs leading to Jerry's Records
- Galaxie Electronics
- Every Half Price Books we know
- The libraries

Where else,  any suggestions?

Thrift stores?

Not to be a jerk and this isn't directed at ST-Rider or anyone else, but I would think the last thing this needs is advertising to the thrift store crowd. I think the goal is to have eager buyers looking to purchase good gear at good fair prices not someone hoping/looking for a "scroe" so they can flip it to pay bills and or brag about it on some online forum.

Serious gear for serious buyers, in my estimation, should be the goal.

The thrifts are drying up.   I'm sure there are people going to thrifts looking because they want vintage equipment but don't know where to go.

So V, my Leak setup isn't "serious gear" because I got it at a thrift?   Because I occasionally flip something to pay a bill means that I'm not a serious listener?   I guess only six figure guys are entitled to good sound, regardless of their passion or ability.

That's the intent!  And to meet people and have a good time discussing audio and music!

Well, there weren't any customers from thrift stores, so that part was accomplished.
