What up East Coast kidz! and WEst Coast kidz if you dare!

I have news for you...

Official NYC area / Regional Fall meet, November 14th, 2015 - Stamford Sheraton
 

This years NYC Metro Area Fall meet will be held at the Stamford Sheraton in Stamford, CT. There should be plenty of room for at least 100+ people. Like last year, we have 2 adjoining rooms and 3rd if we need it, so there should be plenty of room for all. The room is called Davenport and it's downstairs.

As usual, all Vendors and Members are welcome.
Donations are welcome to help cover cost of the room, but are not required to attend.
Donations for the "Not so Silent" auction are greatly appreciated. Also, a volunteer to run the auction would be greatly appreciated.

Meet will be from 9:00am until 4:00pm on Saturday November 14th, 2015.
"Not So Silent" Auction 2:00pm
VENDOR SETUP 8:00AM


BUY/SELL Corner - I’ll have a pad and pencil set up where one can let others know where they’ll be located within the meet area.

Please reply to thread if you intend on attending. Include a list of gear you are bringing. If you plan on coming and your name is not on the list please PM me or post in the thread and I’ll add you.

 

Meet Rules

    Please treat fellow pyrates, vendors, and their gear with the utmost care and respect.
    Do not unplug headphones without asking permission from the owners first.
    Do not turn anything on or off without asking permission first.
    Do not move anyone's gear from their established area without asking permission.
    Absolutely no food and drink will be allowed near any equipment including your own.
    Please have courtesy and ensure that your hands are CLEAN before handling other’s equipment.
    Be mindful of the time you are spending listening to vendors and others’ gear especially if there are others waiting in line.
    Be mindful of personal hygiene. DO NOT use hair gel or other product that may damage or stain a headband or earpads.
    Please use common sense! To repeat the most important rule: treat fellow pyrates, vendors, and their gear with the utmost care and respect.


 

While there should be plenty of power, be prepared to bring what you need in terms of power strips, extension cords, etc.

It's a little bit early to commit 100%, but I certainly intend to attend. You put together a great meet last year in CT and I am looking forward to another one.

Thank you. Someone has to do it.

I'm hoping to have some new vendors this year along with the usual suspects... If anyone has ties to vendors that they would like to see at the event or if you are a vendor and would like to attend please PM me.

This is the same location as last Fall.  It was wonderful last year, and I have no doubt it will be even better this year.  And there's great parking too (all NYC types will appreciate that)
