is really funny...why we need to split the event.....is better to stick together right???...even in lowyat starbucks is really small ....i think coffee bean is good enough for everyone...

Thank you. I haven't been to LYN for a while, to the point that I can't remember how big CB is. If you think CB is big enough to fit us all... No problem then, we'll just have 1 gathering at 3PM at CB...

That's why it's tentative, was just afraid that 20++ people suddenly storm CB, manager go panic...

because bro akgmalaysia only want around 10 or so peoples coming for the audition.. maybe he don't want a crowded situation.. but unexpectedly.. the participant is exceed the limitation.. so TS think its better to split up to 2 groups.. akg product audition and poisoning session..

Yes, this is also true. But the main reason is actually I was afraid CB would be too small to fit us. That was the main reason why I split it into 2 groups...

If we can have 2 groups of people, the AKG audition and the Poison people in the same shop (a bit farther from each other also can - to make sure it's not to crowded and bunched up), without causing us to be kicked out - then it's best.

Will ask bro akgmalaysia later about this...

i think if each of people buy a drink they would not mind us.. i think..

Lol...

Maybe ask the people at CB if they have party packages...

Waiting for akgmalaysia's response so I can update first page. In the meantime, do chime in on your thoughts about the meet. Separate places? 1 place? You know a better location? Just chime in! I would want your thoughts and ideas so that I can make this meet a good one - I'm not really well versed at the art of "getting a whole lot of people together".

Prolly the only thing that is safely set is the DATE and that by hook or by crook, I'm gonna make this TT happen (even if it means I go listen to my LOD Fuze alone at CoffeeBean on the 21st - if it ever gets to that). Everything else remains tentative at this point.

I think if every participant will buy a drink from them and don't make so much noise, it wont be a big problem. Or can we contact the person in charge and ask them reserved a corner for us, so that we won't disturb other customer?

Eiraku, i want to join also, can ar? hehe

Can, come come...

Seriously, we need to make this a properly organised, annual event, with events/promotions done by all the relevant parties... Kinda like an audio-fair for head-philes in particular...

MY Can Jam 2010?

Oh, just got the reply from akgmalaysia, he doesn't really mind the extra people - though he also expresses the same concern over 20 of us fitting Coffee Bean without it troubling the management.

THUS, back to ONE meet, 3pm on the 21st.

Now let's decide on WHERE we wanna do it?

ORIGINAL PLAN: Coffee Bean LYP.

PROBLEM: Is it big/quiet enough to hold 20 audiophiles comfortably (lets disregard the "troubling the management" part for now).

akgmalaysia's suggestion: BTS Krispe Donuts?

Akabane@DrJackal: Thinks that the Coffee Bean would do fine.

Me: Thinks that Coffee Bean would do just fine myself (crammed like 15 crazy Alpha photographers on the Pavilion top floor Starbucks - which is small, no, tiny - and it was STILL okay IMHO), but will go to LYP / BTS next weekend just to survey and make sure.

To avoid we get kick out from coffee bean last minutes，why don't we just call up the coffee bean and make the arrangement first? may be we can get a special rate for our coffee? If they don't allow then we still have time to find for another venue

Hmmm...

Will try... Anybody up to go check if Coffee Bean LYP is okay with the idea of hosting 20pax customers at one go?

well,for the krispy creme at BTS.it got upper floor.so maybe wont disturb much/or the manager wont notice if we crowd the place.

Hmmm, interesting. Is Krispy full of people most of the time? Take into consideration we're gathering at around 3pm...

If it's not that busy, sounds like a good plan.

wow. are there any more space?

can i join in the fun too?and get 'poisoned' as well

i can bring a pair of recabled MS1.

I think we're beyond limiting attendance...

Come on and drop bye! Lets show KL what happens when decide to gather...

Goshh...This is spreading like wild fire! hahaha..

Why don't you guys gather around some audio shop? It's good publicity for the shop, and maybe they'll gladly offer some discounts when you guys get something there too

Good point. If we had something like Jaben over here, I'd gladly hold the gath near the shop. Sadly enough, I really don't know of any head-phile oriented shop like that in the BTS/Lowyat Plaza area.

Plus, 20 pax near an audio shop isn't really fun per se, unless the shop is well equipped to handle such a riot.

But as of now, we do have retailers in our midst: akgmalaysia, Akabane@Drjackal and Edifier. Although I'd think most of them would want to just sit back and enjoy poisoning, I do think they might just entertain retail questions regarding their products.

Anyway, combing through the forum to add on names for a final headcount right now. Been thinking of holding a "just-for-fun" (read: cable tidies, extra earbuds, petty stuff like that) raffle/cabutan bertuah (or Most Poisonous Attendee Award) just for the heck of it too.

Edit: FP edited with more info and updated attendance list!

well,i been there twice on sunday,at it almost no people.maybe like 4-5 people.so not so crowded la.people love to take-away their order

Hmm, good then. Hopefully they have power sockets for us to suck (under the pretext of wifi and using laptops... )...

Krispy Kreme BTS is looking to be a good alternative venue in terms of size compared to Coffee Bean... Will research more before committing any form of venue shift.

yes,and i second on the part of contacting the manager of venue first.eventhough if we just buy a cup of coffee(in krispy creme case,its donut )it wouldnt cause any prob.coffee in bulk ftw .should be cheaper

Will try doing that during the course of next week... But my work schedule's tight, and I might not be able to do anything until the weekends (need to take care of some kids going to a state sports meet)...
