2020 NCSQ Meet - 6-7 November 2020 Near Pulaski Virginia (new)

I'm starting a new thread (and re-directing the previous thread to this one) so there is less chance of confusion. I've experienced this in the past with change of location on the same scheduled date.......doesn't always goes smoothly.


Reason for the change of date

As you know, there is a little Pandemic going on right now, and will be through May unfortunately. So, I'm pushing this out to November......after Finals (if there will be some) and before the Holidays. We will play it by ear.....hopefully we won't be in the 2nd or 3rd wave of COVID-19 at that time.


Reason for the change of venue

Well, this change of date encroached on the meet up that Ian typically throws in the Fall in Virginia - so this is partly due to the change to a couple hours North of my house. A few of us had a mini-meet in February, and it is a good spot. The park is 5 minutes from I-81, for reference here is the address 5100 Alexander Rd, Dublin, VA 24084. I imagine in November the park should be fairly empty, and there are shelters with power available. There are 2 or 3 hotels right across the highway as well along with a bunch of restaurants.

Friday Night Info:


Friday afternoon / evening (mid afternoon'ish) - for whoever wants to - likely meet over at the park just to demo / hang out - eat somewhere......


Saturday Info:


Likely 0930-1000 - depending on weather (who knows....) - demo and hang out - likely do lunch on your own - several fast food places close by - we can bring Fun Dip and things like that to munch on - then Fatz or something similar that evening.


Stuff to bring:

Yourself
A friend / spouse / kids (of course you are responsible for policing said kids)
Your vehicle with or without anything setup/tuned
Favorite music on discs, thumb drive, or other device
Camera
Lawn chair if you want to use one
Openness to learn, ask questions, take constructive criticism and humbly give advice/criticism
A coat....will likely be cool / cold.

Sounds like a good time. Plus, this spot is actually almost 1.5 hours closer to me so it's a shorter drive. And the Monday Veteran's Day holiday will give a little buffer, too. I'll be there if I can for sure. :)

I'll help some brothers out...

1) Jason (bertholomey/Afghan Vet) - 2015 Audi S4 - North Carolina
2) Erin (ErinH) - 2019 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport - AL
3) Eric (mumbles) - 2018 Audi S5 Coupe - GA

Thanks dude - just with those 3 cars alone - mine wasn’t ready for the 2019 meet, Erin wasn’t able to make it, and his car was primarily only experienced at Finals last year by most guys, and your car was here before that awesome Audio X install. So if the 3 of these cars can make it - would be a treat.

Another brand new install! I really want to hear the Volvo with the stock locations and MiniDSP!

So far it's working very well, at least with the meet now in November there will be no excuses for not having a finished system.

Depending on how the weather is I might likely be there. Who knows what it could be like that time of the year.

Sounds like a good time and it's only about a 3 hour drive for me. It would be cool to meet some of you all and hear your systems as well as have some fresh ears help me better tune my new system I'm in the middle of installing.

Very good chance I will be there... Looking forward to it

Looking forward to listening to everyone's rides! Should be a hair over 5hrs from the new place so I'll be looking up a motel for sure!

I'm in the southern part of Ohio. Very close to Huntington, WV and about 2.5 hours from Columbus.

I was just going to see about another November meet here in Augusta.

Too late.

Yeah, I was going to start a post a few weeks ago and everything went sideways.

Nothing you can do. 2020 is going to be interesting for the organizations.

I just had to do this to myself.......look at the weather prediction for this weekend. Instead of having a fun time with a bunch great people........I’m going to be putting out 15 Cubic Yards of hardwood mulch [emoji30][emoji40]

Getting a bit of flack for the mask in the car by myself from my bro Erin......I told him it was similar to my physical distancing rules in the drive through.....at least 6 feet from their car to my car........drives Mic crazy.......it is a belt and suspenders kind of thing.......can never be too careful in this crazy times. [emoji851][emoji12]

What I explained to him:

.....the mask was sitting there - I haven’t once worn it - I thought I might as well put it on to make sure it will be comfortable if I have to wear it - grabbed the phone and took a selfie - I think it was the first selfie I have ever taken - had to figure out how to do the thing with the other camera (tried to channel Bill with getting only part of me, at an angle)......so as ridiculous as it was, that is the full scoop [emoji6] And it would have been all good sitting in Photos on my phone - it is only a problem when posted to social media [emoji4]

I figured either...

A) You were being ironic/silly
B) It's later going to be revealed that Brett Favre was listening to your car
C) The mask is infused with gluten-fighting properties and/or Dee's Nut powder

Not A - I’m never ironic or silly [emoji2955]

Not C - No such thing as gluten-fighting Dee’s Nutz Powder. [emoji35]

It is B - He stopped by, I told him he was supposed to be staying home, distancing.......he had his mask, so I gave him a demo. Pretty decent dude for a cheese head [emoji6]

It was determined by my wife yesterday, using completely objective analysis, that my car was the best sounding car at my house yesterday [emoji12] My prize was moving about 14 cu yds of mulch. [emoji851]

I laughed openly at this... and you said you were never ironic or silly!

I've been to a few of Ian's meets but never with a finished system. Hopefully that will change this time.

Since we’re just about a month away I thought I’d check to verify this is still happening before I reserve my hotel room. I *may* have a plus-1 but won’t know for sure until closer to the date. I’ll probably be rolling into town mid-afternoon on that Friday for anyone else that wants to meet up and chill, eat, etc.

I'm still planning on being there...

I got the hotel reserved
