Hello everybody,

Place: George's. (PM for directions.)
When: 4:00 until the last person leaves, September 16th, 2006

It's that time again. I'm hosting another HT get-together at my place on September 16th. That's a Saturday for those who don't have a calendar nearby.

I'm located in Cleveland, Ohio, but the meet is open to anyone who'd like to attend.

Since my last meet, I've upgraded my projector and now have 720p resolution, upgraded my center channel, have a working HDTV tuner, and an Xbox 360. I also plan on upgrading my two rear channels before the meet.

If you haven't been to a meet before, it's a good way to get together with fellow HT enthusiasts and share each other's knowledge of our hobby. And it's fun to go around and check out other people HT's to see how they deal with the space they have to work with, whether or not they do a full blown theater or have a nice set-up in their living room. It's also great to compare notes and give suggestions on areas that may or may not need improvement. But, most of all, it's a great way to just be able to talk about HD-DVD, Blu-Ray, DTS, DLP, LCD, Plasma, CRT, projectors, 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, home automation, RF remotes, and so on and so on, without getting looks of confusion in return. Trust me, if these weren't fun, I wouldn't travel around and attend meets in Cincinnati, Dayton, or Michigan, and I certainly wouldn't be hosting a fifth one.

So, if you're free, come on over. (Ear plugs optional.)

Right now, I don't yet have an itinerary planned, but will edit this as we get closer to the 16th. I'd like to get an idea of how many will be attending first.

Feel free to bring whatever you'd like to demo. Bring your favorites CDs, movies with your favorite demo scenes, or some DVD-Audios if you have any. I don't have SACD capability so if you'd like to bring a compatible player, we can hook it up.

Or if you've upgraded to HD-DVD or Blu-Ray and would like to demonstrate the new technology for us, that would be great. Want to compare projectors? Bring yours along. The meet is open to anything you'd like bring and demo.

Please post here if you think you'll be attending so I can add you to the list. I'll also have a thread @ AVS, and the Spot! if for some reason you only like to post at a particular forum. I'm flexible.
