Interest in a North Alabama Meet: November 5th, 2016
Hey, guys. Just wanted to get a quick idea of who might be interested in coming to my house for a meet on Saturday, November 5th this year. I live in Decatur, AL which is about 2 hours south of Nashville and 3 hours NW of Atlanta.
This isn't set in stone but if there's some solid interest, I'm down to host one.
I know there's a few meets/shows in Sept/October that might drain people on travel which is totally understandable. Thus my more cautionary polling to see what the interest would be.
If you'd be down, let me know.

I'd be interested in coming. Easy drive from Little Rock.

I was actually talking to the guys over the weekend about hosting another one in November, but yours always draw a crowd.

And you wouldn't have to spiff things up before we all showed up to if Erin hosted it.

Either is fine with me, Al.
I know we have both been saying to each other we need to host something. After the Vinny this weekend and having such a good time hanging out with everyone I decided I need to make an honest effort to get everyone together more often outside of seeing each other at shows. I love Jason B's NC meets but I know there's a lot of people in our area who can't make the time for those. And we used to always have good turn outs for our meets. Time to get it going again.

Well, I have the garage dried in, but I doubt I'll have the money to have it 'complete' by then. If you want to run with it, my feelings won't be hurt.

I honestly don't care. It's less stressful on my family for me not to host it so if you want... it's all yours. If you want me to do host it, that's fine, too. Saves me the trouble of waking up early and driving that extra hour both ways. So either way, I'm fine.

I flipped a coin and you won :p
Re: Interest in a North Alabama Meet: November 5th, 2016
I'd prolly come. Will be nice and cool out then, I'm worried it may still be warm out during mine.

I was going to NC because there just wasn't anything going on close outside of the comp scene for a couple years. While I always have a blast with the NC folks the drive is BRUTAL and takes several days to recover from it. It's a lot harder for me to recover from being mentally drained after spending 26 hours in a vehicle over the course of just a few days. Glad y'all are getting things going again in that section of the south. DFW, OKC, Nashville, and Northern Bama are all about the same distance from Little Rock plus or minus half an hour. And the Nashville meet is looking like it's gonna be a good turnout. I do plan on nosing around the big room full of audio gear just to take a walk through time.
