I attended the first of these a couple of years ago, and it was an exceptionally nice event. Great home theater on the march this time around, and a great place to be in August!

Equipment and music were all top-notch, and I thought Boomac's upstairs LP and CD player (they may be in the basement home theater by now) sounded especially good in combination with the BAT gear and beautiful curly maple Cornwalls.

John Malotky's spectacular McIntosh-laden home theater is NOT to be missed!

This will be a good opportunity to hear Scott's very nice Eastern Electric MiniMax tube CD player.

Thanks for the invite, I'd be very interested in attending if workload allows for a little time off. What area/town is this located? I did some work in the Xonia-Watertown-Occonomoac area a couple of years ago. Beautiful country out there. I'm about one hour away coming from Twin Lakes.

We're in the Hartland - Sussex area about 10 miles east and a couple miles north of Oconomowoc. From Hwy 83 and I43, (just outside Mukwonago) you're about 23 - 25 miles away. Twin Lakes can't be but 60 - 70 miles.

Thanks for the kind words Larry. The BAT/Mini Max & Well Tempered are down in the lower level for now but that's always subject to change. Perhaps you and the G-Man should consider an end run and head west in that new vehicle of yours!

Scott - I'll do what I can. I have lots going on this summer and Catherine already warned me not to make any "forum related" plans. She owes me big time though so I'll see what I can do. I'd love to come but can't make a firm commitment yet. You know I'll give it the old college try though.

Now thats exciting news! Ive heard stories about your college days. Any guy that can carry a pair of Cornwalls up to a dorm room can figure out a way to make a quick end run!

I'm kind of worried this photo Catherine sent me of Gary in his college days doesn't exactly portray a guy that got things done [;)]

Hey hey hey now....... That's pretty close! I just had a mustache, no scraggly beard. I got plenty done though, just not the things you'd want YOUR kids to do.

Maybe I shouldn't go. Craig will be there. Might turn out to be a problem. Like a "call the cops" level.

I was thinking more like the fight of the penguins, only questions is who's smacking who upside the head?
