Audio Flynn Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Dang, it's so darned far. Gee what a cop out. Detroit local freeway and surface street traffic would be a vacation compared to Chicago even on the weekend.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 lol! My only gripe with Michigan traffic is they don't go 15mph over the speed limit like everyone else in the world. Then again, the cops pull you over for doing 5mph over... [:@] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piranha Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 oh wow, turns out I'll be in the area that weekend anyway! I suppose it might be fun to swing by for a bit. I've never been to AKFest before though....is it kinda like the Klipsch Pilgrimage mixers? A bunch of people show up with gear and show it off all day Friday/Saturday? AK is at the top of an older Howard Johnsons hotel at Northland on the west side of Detroit one of the origonal "malls" we have all come to despise in small ways. Hotel clears out all the sleep related furniture and it makes an Ok room on the long wall. You have acess to maybe 20+ rooms of different audio stuff. Craig is the major horn & tube dude but other genres of audio equipment are really well done. There are several rooms that have serious amounts of expensive equipment in them. A bit of horse trading is known to go on for equipment. I got an NAD integrated amp and matching tuner in pristine condition for $ 120 2 years ago. Looks nice in my daughters room. Fun discussions and nice equipment to see. There are few settings like this in the midwest to see enthusiasts go nuts for a weekend. Hmmmm Flynn.......so it sounds like a bunch of teetotalers to me?

gonzp Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 We drank plenty of pale ales last year!!! I wish I was going to attend but unfortunatly I have to work that weekend..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piranha Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Patrick, I understand. I have airline reservation to attend. Unfortunately I may not be able to get out of a few work related issued on 3/23 & 3/26 which would cause me to cancel as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I won't be there. They pulled our leave and I'll probably end up working a 16 hour day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You bonehead, I'd rather put up with you and Paul then I what I have to deal with on that weekend. That indicates a character flaw of some sort. $chit, I resemble that remark. Pirahna; I am only in for Saturday PM and Sunday. There will be beer. Craig has to make a decision on the Crown Royal. Liter or half gallon.
