CECAA850 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 What a great weekend. Meeting forum members, eating, drinking and of course listening to music. I'd like to start by giving Steve a HUGE thank you for organizing this and the incredible food he provided. it's certainly not an exaggeration to say that he provided the best pulled pork that I've ever eaten, OK, let's see if I remember everyone's name. No cheating, just from memory: Dave Ron Pat Pat (Otis) Erica Dee P.M. Mike Steve Tony (?) and myself Overall, I'd certainly make the trip again. I would also encourage those that didn't make it to try to if the occasion ever arises in the future. Lastly I'd like to thank Klipsch for, um, nothing? No factory tour, no opening of the museum, no loan of speakers, no place for us to meet. From what I understand, the requests were made but declined. It was a huge disappointment for me and dampened what was otherwise an outstanding weekend. It's a shame that people are so excited about a product that they'd drive cross country to meet with other enthusiasts only to be ignored by the manufacturer. If I've misunderstood the circumstances surrounding the weekend or am inaccurate in my assertions, I'll certainly apologies and edit. I also hope (no pun intended) that this is not a harbinger of things to come. Can't wait till next year!!!!! Carl 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 What, no Klipsch support or appearance? They must have rocks in their heads to miss out on the publicity this could have created. Who the hell handles their marketing? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Who the hell handles their marketing? My guess would be bean counters. It didn't make any sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who the hell handles their marketing? My thinking exactly, the local media would have been all over this for free, Klipsch speakers may rock but it seems their people care only about the Buck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 I knew it wasn't a Klipsch sponsored event going in. I just hated making the trip and not being able to see anything. Why have the event in Hope if you can't even go to the museum? There's certainly nicer hotels elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 ^^^ That's a damn good point! May we all come to your place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Next time include Amy and Chad, and I bet things will get done. Do you really think that neither one of them saw the other thread in the 5 months it was around? I know I'm gritchin, but I can listen to music at home. It certainly was nice to meet other forum members but I left feeling that the weekend could have been so much more by just being able to see a couple things.

Lonelobo Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I didn't know we had a King. I thought we were an autonomous collective. You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you. LONG LIVE THE AUTONOMOUS COLLECTIVE!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
