Are there any future meets being planned?
I've been MIA on here for months.
Saw Blendzilla had its last meet
My intent is to host one when I get my new place in the suburbs of Washington DC.

I'm right over the new WW bridge from you in Maryland, and I have plans to do a small one around when Craig comes to the area in a few months. That could also be a good time to have him calibrate your setup.

I'll be in town for Thanksgiving as usual, but I won't be able to bring any tools with two kids in tow. Would be fun to drop in for a meet, but I bet TG is not the best time for that
I should have a meet. It's been a lot of years. Maybe when I get a really good laser based digital we can compare it against the G90. I was thinking of getting a VPL-VW5000ES, but the HDMI connectivity issues are making me second guess that thought... than again, I could probably get Sound & Vision to lend me one...

Frankly I think the biggest problem is the massive amounts of infighting the various CRT forums have had over the last 5 years. The camaraderie the group had for the most part, even if we disagreed on things is gone. A bunch of it died (no pun intended) when Cliff passed as well.
The few of us here that are left are pretty scattered, so I'm not sure that anyone having a meet is going to have more than 5-10 people attending.

Curt, I don't think that is the problem. I think a lot of people have either moved on from CRTs or the hobby in general. William advertised his meet for months and still had a small turnout. I tried to make it, but my Merc was out of commission.
A central location like Chicago would help, but I wonder how many people would attend. I told Phil last week that I haven't seen you in 3 years after seeing you a couple of times in a short time. If Craig had one next spring, then I would definitely try to get up there.

If there is real interest than I am totally game.

Sounds good, Craig. We should probably revisit this around February. I am sure Rocco would come.

You're not that far from me. If you hosted a CRT meet I would at least talk to the missus about coming up to see your setup and of course meet Mr. Craig Rounds.

OK, I'm convinced. If Craig hosts one, I will most likely drive out..

If I'm going to drive out, I want to see no snow on the I-90.

When is that? July!
I would guess April or May would be a good time. IIRC Cliff's meet was the first weekend in May.

Looks like we are doing it
We'll figure out a date when it gets closer. I want everyone possible to be able to make it out!
Best,
Craig

Dear Craig;
I'll chime in too. My oldest son and his family live about an hour West of Chicago. Any excuse to drive to Chicago is a good one for me, as I also get to visit my son, his wife, and my first grandchild.
I'm in.
William
