Daddy Dee Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 We hope to have the honour of your presence at the Arkansas Klipsch Forum Gathering on Saturday, May 8th. The gathering will meet at my home in Scott, AR. This is just 8 minutes from the airport in Little Rock. Gathering will begin around 9:00 a.m. and it's fine to show up whenever you can. Gear to Hear Here includes but won't be limited to: '73 Khorns with Bob Crites' Type A crossovers HDBRBuilder's Oak LaScala replacement cab prototype with ALK networks. -={}=- ARKYTYPE will bring a pair of Al Klappenberger's Extreme Slope crossover Networks! SSH's JFL 2A3 monoblocks vintage Scott and Eico integrated Wright 2A3 monoblocks Sunfire Classic Tube Preamp AH! Njoe Tjoebs CD4000 and Heart 6000 CD's The main idea is to have fun listening to gear and enjoying the music and good company. We will not WORK hard at listening comparisons. At noon we can take a break for lunch at Cotham's Mercantile. They have famous Hubcap burgers and fried green tomatoes. Also excellent on the menu is catfish. Say what you want about Bill Clinton, but this guy knows his burgers and Cotham's is where the Elite Meet to Eat. It just looks like it might fall off it's stilts into the old river lake, but it won't. Well, it hasn't the buiding was finished in 1917. If you can make it, let me know. I'm getting a map and contact info together to smooth your journey here. It's easy to find. Just five miles off the interstate and only have to make one turn. Drop me an e-mail and I'll get the directions to you. It's gonna be fun.

Daddy Dee Posted March 17, 2004 Author Share Posted March 17, 2004 Istari, Indeed. The White Pig Inn is just a hop, skip and a jump from here. They have been doing BBQ since before Dogtown (North Little Rock) had electricity. Dave, That will be great. Hope the schedule works out right. We've got a swingset and slide so Liam can swing and listen simultaneously if he wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorjen Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Hi Dee, Would you mind havin' a darned Californian show up? My aunt and uncle live in Little Rock and I have not seen them since my mother(born in Fayetville in '23) passed in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted March 17, 2004 Author Share Posted March 17, 2004 Jordan, Go ahead and make your reservations! Just let me know your flight number so we can meet you at the airport. Sorry to hear about your mother's death. I lost my mother last year, too. The other day I was calling my brother and dialed my mother's old phone number w/o thinking.

ssh Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Dee, That's a great date. The gear list looks like a full day's fun. I just scored a pr of Monster Cable Sigma Retro Gold interconnects that I'll bring. I got them yesterday & hooked them up while in the middle of a reply to an email from Jeff (He's anxious to get his Khorns.). I told him that I felt like I was hearing a great tube roll. It was $ well spent. I'm looking forward to being back at your spot at Scott. SSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornEd Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Daddy Dee, what a wonderful thing to do... now if you can just get everyone aboard a jet helicopter and land where Tony Reed can show you his personal Klipsch Museum the day would pull me away from my scheduled Honeymoon Tahiti. Damn, just when I was luxuriating over the WAF agreement to the new Six Khorn Theater with Belle Front Effects... now you have to raise the bar to see if she will go so far as a Little Rock Honeymoon with all the Hubcap Burgers she can fit in her svelte bod. So, if I don't make it you'll know that I've hit the WAF WALL... and was sentenced to balmy skies and ocean sailing... and thoughts of being there. My best to all... especially Tony Reed. =HornEd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where will you be driving from? HornEd: We'll be listening for how you come out on the WAF. You could stay at The Peabody in Little Rock, with the ducks in the fountain and everything. Just across the street is some older elegance at the Capital Hotel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Reed Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 HornEd, Honeymoon Tahiti, huh. Boy, do I feel sorry for you. Having to endure such a tropical place with balmy skies and ocean sailing. We shall have a Hubcap burger in your honor. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBrennan Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 DD---I'll be coming from Chicago, take I-57 down through Cairo (kay-ro). Good BBQ down there in Egypt. I'll stop in Champaign and see if the fella at the bookstore has any old Fisher or, ahem, Scott stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEC Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Then there is always Paul's Restaurant on 3700 JFK in North Little Rock. Pretty good BBQ, but try the chili mac. A complete new memorable experience if you have never had it. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
