I too plan to be there, if I am quick enough on the PM.

Shame you are unable to go Peter. We could have went in the Jag which is running superbly since I had the rear shocks replaced. Actually its been sat in an airport car park for the last 6 weeks so it may need some TLC when I get home this week. 

Unfortunately I am at work till 6.30 that evening on call. We could have gone in the Prius which is running perfectly!

Thanks to David Jennings for pulling this together, and being so welcoming.  I'm really looking forward to my visit and meeting with all of you.  

OK - still places available to Beoworlders - those who have PM'd already -  places reserved.  Replies to follow later today - I'm out and about for most of today.

Thanks to Dave and Lee for kind words earleier in this thread - from my point of view, its an honour to host such an event.

I've had a few calls re specific music - the intention is to play a variety of styles so the ALT range is heard accros most genres - I'm sure no one will like all of it, but everyone should like some of it, and the idea is to hear the abilities of the speakers to "play music" effectively, so I will probably have a predetermined selection of stuff to play on the night - without sounding too audiophile about it.

Roll on the 31st....

 

 

Only a few places left now - anyone intending to come along should get on the reserved list asap, to avoid dissapointment on the night.

In addition to the main event ( Mr Moulton and his tales of all things ALT ) our genial host Lee is also onfirmed.

As an added bonus, it is looking likely that the Beoworld January Prize Draw will be done live on the night - details tbc.

So its a one-off chance be at a "Live" Beoworld prize draw, in addition to our special guest.

Regards

David

 

Well - i'm all set.. 

Booked in at the Manchester Victoria & Albert Hotel - and have just got the box for my iMac out of the garage ready to pack it up tonight for 'the King Street trip' and the Live Prize Draw !!!

Should be a great evening, and i know all that are attending are thoroughly looking forward to it !!

Lee

 

 

I'm set too
If I'd known you were stopping over, I'd have booked Friday off and we could have gone out for a drink or two.
See you tomorrow mate.

Very sad not to be coming - only three of us in tomorrow and yours truly is on call. I expect a blow by blow account!

Well I shall be drinking the terrible "Trophy Bitter" elsewhere whilst getting thumped at a Pub Quiz and will sadly miss the live draw

I shall however read the proceedings with great interest and squinting eyes upon my return home. I look forward to tales and pictures of great factual content (Mr. Moulton) and great frivolity and entertainment (jandyt and LEE).

Do not disappoint!

(A prize or two in my inbox wouldn't go amiss either)!

The chairs are out.....

 The Cd's are loaded....

The speakers are all lined up ( and working !! )....

The beer/wine/juice are cold....

Most importantly, Mr moulton has been, had a coffee, gone again ( but promised to be back later ) .....

Just need some bums on seats now..

 

An early good evening to King Street from London! I wish everyone attending a great night and please don't forget to keep us updated every now and again with what's going on.

We'll presume the draw will start at 8:30pm GMT as Lee had mentioned, unless we hear differently from you.

Cheers!

And good luck to all Gold Members!

Hello and a good evening!

Let's hope that our PrizeDrawBot has made the way up to Manchester.

Good luck to all the Gold Members for the draw! Enjoy the evening! 

Here at Bang & Olufsen King Street!!

Dave Moulton is here, and the store is looking very much ready for the evening.

Prize Draw will commence at 8.30pm (that's in about 2 hours) - and i'll start the thread. Henry - it's yours truly doing the draw - PrizeDrawBot has the evening off.

Lee 

I hope everything goes spiffingly well tonight - I'll be back around 11:30 to find out what happened (and what I won)

And here is our guest tonight.. Dave Moulton!

He says 'Hello' to everyone!

 

Hi Dave,

keep them all in good order especially that Andy fella!

Have fun everyone

cheers,

Kevin 

Hope all is going well at the King Street bash. Just gutted I could not make it.

 

 

Craig

Me too,

I'm on call all this week and I've been brought in twice already so I couldn't really risk it

Knowing Dave & the King Street crew you will have a great evening. I would have loved to have met Dave Moulton - he is a true gent for donating his time to this. Oh and he photographs better than most of the motley Beoworld crew - judging by what I've seen so far any way.

Chris.

Hello Dave and everybody else at King Street. I hope one day I can spend such an evening with you beoworlders!

 

Just to re-iterate what I have said on another thread, a thouroughly good time was had by all!
I will post some photographs next week.

Hey Andy, welcome back!  

It was excellent, and whoever didn't or couldn't make it missed a great evening.

We went for a beer and then a bite to eat afterwards, and i had a better chance to talk to Dave.  He's insanely intelligent, and has a wicked sense of humour too..

On being escorted back to his hotel, saying goodbye on the doorstep, he emotionally said (not sure if this is word for word as i'd had a few..

"Of all the presentations i've done and trips i've had, this really is the most... recent"

Great comedy timing.. we were all geared up for something prolific..

Lee 

Profound! - the man's a true philosopher. I missed several hours sleep last night contemplating the full existentialist implications of such a seemingly simple statement. I now exist on a higher plain and feel truly fullfilled.

I'd like to thank David, Ian and Graham (of the King St. store in Manchester) and Lee (BeoWorld, of course) for making my visit possible and so pleasant.  You guys are great!
