There are remotes in the cocktail holders! That is minus 3 points.

What?

117 in Las Vegaso yesterday. I think 110 is hottest I ever remember when I lived there

I guess that is where I got confused, the difference between "organizing and going" and what we have been doing for the last 17 years, including this year's. It has pretty much been a collaborative effort between Forum members and KGI going back to the first one, and I was just trying to understand what was different. I guess that is why Gil put the question mark in about 2013. Forum members have been helping organize "get-togethers" in Hope and Indy since 2000 (I don't think it matters what you call them. A KGI employee named Bob came up with the Pilgrimage name back in 2001 by the way) and KGI have come up with people, time and money since 2000, I just wasn't sure if you were trying to say if that has somehow changed in any significant way and thus 2013 onward was different.

I think the first Forum Sponsored Pilgramage was in 2000. Here is a quote from Gil about it. "There was a pilgrimage to Hope AK in 2000 and one to Indy IN this spring. In each case, the hosts were exceptionally gracious. An understatement of great magnitude. These were initiated by members of the forum who approached the hosts with a proposal. Essentially, if you want to have us over for a meeting of the serious, we'd really like to be invited. The facility in Indy is magnificent. I'd like to think that they will set up an annual event. It is not going to be Jubilee's on the beach. Rather maybe a small expansion of this spring's event. Now, you have to understand that what KAT can do depends very much on the size of the crowd. I thought that even the 20 or so of us taxed the capability of the listening rooms. It is a good idea. However, I'm sure the people at KAT are wondering how to keep any such event organized and personal, and not a circus. Best, Gil" I believe John Albright was in on the planning as was Ian on the Hope event in 2000. Here is the thread that discusses all the various pilgrimages with some photos attached as well.

Hell yes, but if it means your checking out soon than no sale.

Who am I gonna talk with about Don V V and R2R now? Really bummed. This is worse than the Soprano's last episode.

They should be fine sound wise. As far as finish I think @HDBRbuilder will be your best bet. Travis

Which track or movement? Any one in particular?

Looks like plastic megaphones is the way to go here.

I'm in Austin. We can get the tubes themselves tested for you. I have a couple good testers.

If it were me I would go with this Davida Rochman lady. http://blog.shure.com/how-to-mic-a-choir/ http://www.shure.eu/support_download/educational_content/microphones-basics/choir Do you know her @DrWho? Your crew seems to be pretty experienced at this. Why couldn't you mike for choir without elevation (flat stage) and use one wireless mike for any solos? He wants an improvement, not perfection, and he has a $200 budget. There is no way to get any improvement?

Nice article about Audi: Level 3 now, 3 to 5K for 35mph or less conditions which would be nice. Level 4 in 2020 http://www.autonews.com/article/20170105/OEM06/170109920/audi-plans-to-debut-autonomous-car-in-2020

I meant a Level 4 or 5 car. Those will be a "luxury" item in areas they can be approved initially. The "luxury period" will depend on the cost (including any insurance savings or added costs), patents/IP (whether there is competition and how much), and whether there are tax incentives or disincentives.

And he is an awesome guy. From Austin of course.

Too late, they are SOLD and down the road.

Congress can easily grant tort immunity. They did it as part of Tobacco Settlement, and there are many, many other examples. The question is will they pass it to prevent a barrier to the technology or speed the transition. We live in a capitalist economy, the market isn't concerned with what is in society's best interest. Public policy is set by legislation and regulation. Hence the need for FDA, USDA, EPA, FCC, etc. Seat belts and airbags are in society's best interest but had to be mandated. When they are ready to get cars to market they will either have to go state by state (very slow) or get Congress to preempt the field of regulation and open it up is mass. Auto safety is one area that Congress has preempted. I think that your idea about the convenience and added productivity is what will initially drive the sales on AVs. It will be a luxury item at first and will catch on. How fast will be a function of the regulations and laws surrounding it.

Congress can give them tort immunity as part of their seeking approval to mass market them. Then it goes through the gauntlet of special interests and what pops out the other end is anyone's guess.

That one! For 15 years. It I could figure out a way to upload all of that data I would go with Discography.

That is on the slate for sure, and you are our biggest priority. We will know what the specifics are in a week or so. What level of school are you in? Travis

Thank you @pappyIII for everything you are doing.

Big time serious
