popbumper Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Not sure why this was dragged out so long before the locale was chosen - from EVERY indication, reading between the line it was more than obvious that Indy would be the location. Another one for the "I won't be there" bucket. Popbumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RATs! I hoped it would be HOPE. I'm out. Maybe next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Well I had hoped for Hope, but I'll still try to make the Indy trip. If it is anything like last year, Klipsch will organize a first class event for us. Hey, Arkytype, maybe you can host an "unofficial" pilgrimage some weekend at your place. We could drive to the Hope plant and bribe the janitor with a six pack to give us a tour . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triceratops Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I'm sure this will be an outstanding event and the level of enthusiasm suggests it should be a record turnout for the Forum. Thanks to Trey, Amy, and all concerned for putting this shindig together. If the company will consider hosting another event in 2006, I'll hope that Hope will be the popular choice next time around. I've got to hold onto my chips for that possibility... Best in horns, triceratops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.4knee Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 In my heart I too was hoping for Hope, but since the little Mrs. has family in Indy, I had to cast my vote for Indy. Now if the dates work out we will be Indy bound. Think 18 -26 June..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piranha Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I vote for June 24-26 myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Man Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I guess I won't be renting a van and loading it with my modified Klipschorns and heading to Hope. I was also going to bring the University Classic bass horn. Oh Well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Reed Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Now i'm really bummed out... I'd love to hear Q-Man's modified speakers. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Reed Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Hey, maybe there should be a Klipsch Pilgramage "North" and a Klipsch Pilgramage "South". We could have a friendly little contest and see where the most members show up. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 June 17-19 please, the 25th is a wedding for me, I'd hate to miss two Pilgrimages in a row. Plus I can offer hospitality, rides, etc as I'm an Indy resident. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piranha Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 The US Grand Prix F-1 race is at the Speedway on the weekend of June 17th-19th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipsch Employees Trey Cannon Posted February 16, 2005 Author Klipsch Employees Share Posted February 16, 2005 It will not be the week of the F-1 race... no hotels left ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkytype Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Hey, Seadog, et al, I'm still offering to host a mini-Pilgrimage with or without Trey's blessing. If we can't arrange for a tour of the plant in Hope, there is a Klipsch engineer based in Rogers, Arkansas who is working with the owner of the Malco theater chain to develop new pro audio loudspeakers. All the Malco theaters are equipped with Klipsch loudspeakers. We could possibly get a tour behind the screen and watch a movie. I saw "Ocean's 12" there a few weeks ago and while there weren't a lot of surround effects, the dialog was crystal clear. Popcorn was good, too. As an alternative, there's an ElectroVoice pro loudspeaker manufacturing plant not far from Conway. It has an amazing CNC router that cuts loudspeaker cabinet parts in just a few seconds. They make almost all the components there from winding the voice coils to charging the magnets. We could probably get a tour to see the "enemy's" secrets. Bob Crite's (BEC) place is just a little further down the road from EV and we could see his place, too. After that, it's lunch at Whataburger. Trey and/or Amy is certainly invited if the event happens. May would be the best month for tolerable weather. In the summer, the temperature and humidity are about equal from June to August. While a trip to Indy would be informative and entertaining, it probably wouldn't allow attendees to bring their single-ended tube amps or loudspeaker mods. The 2004 Klipsch Gathering was a well-attended and received informal listening & BS session. That's the atmosphere I'd like to contnue with Klipsch Gathering 2005. BTW, my belated vote is for Hope.

colterphoto1 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 oops, sorry about that, I forgot that one. Too many races to keep track of any more.... I'm just hoping a decision is made soon. I'm booking wedding like crazy and sadly, they are usually on Saturday. Probably won't get to attend the 'pilgrimage' in my own town again this year. Sad.

Piranha Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 There's always the mixer on Friday and Saturday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipsch Employees Trey Cannon Posted February 17, 2005 Author Klipsch Employees Share Posted February 17, 2005 We are looking at the 26th of June...Mike you have to make some of this one... No word for sure...we have a lot of thing going on in June...so we will see. I hope to have the date tide down soon.... If there is a meeting in Arkansas this summer, I will do all I can to attend... I will tell you that a tour of the plant can not happen on a week day, IF there is a chance to see the plant, it would be on a Satarday. Give me a date and I will ask...thats all we can do.

colterphoto1 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 CRUD! Saturday is out for me, but I can get together with ya on Friday or Sun. Any idea of rough agenda at this point? I'll probably miss the good stuff. again. it sucks being me. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v3spitfire Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Michael, you could have an affair with the bride to be. That would might put a stop to the wedding, or at least to you being invited... I'm assuming she's not related to you. That should free you up for that saturday.

j-malotky Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 CP1 My favorite part of the trip is hanging around Friday night getting to know the fellow forum mumbers. We really have a nice bunch of nuts who hang out on this forum. JM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
