Sounds good. I'll tell you what. This week, I'll call or go by a handful of hotels in Tulsa and find one that has the best combination of rates and availability in April or May. I'll make sure they know we intend to play music during the day and find one that approves of that.
I don't want to book a block of rooms, and would prefer to find a hotel that hasn't been booked up on a particular weekend and just put the word out. Everyone will reserve their own room, first come, first serve. There are many hotels in Tulsa with several hundred rooms, so I don't think attendance will be a problem, certainly not for the first year.
After we've decided on a place and time, we can contact all the other small manufacturers, regional clubs hobbyists and other interested parties. Right now, we have Audio Note and π Speakers for sure, Bob Brines has expressed an interest in showing his loudspeakers as has Duke LeJeune, probably bringing a Geddes speaker system. Fred Thompson has said that the Houston club is intersted and the Tulsa club will also be there.
Everyone in the Tulsa club will be happy to provide directions and personal assistance. We'll also probably get an internet site up and running to provide information such as directions, list of exhibitors, etc. I would like to see this remain an organized but informal event, really just a group of people that assemble in a hotel once a year to enjoy each others' company and listen to fine music. No entry fees or banners, nothing like that. Just show up, and if you want to be an exhibitor, bring your equipment and a sign for your door.
