How about a Spring 2007 Remotester's Luncheon in NYC? - Page 3

blackwatch · 4th April 2007, 03:27 AM

hey guys..i'd love to come along!

Is it too late to sign up??

please let me know

i'm gonna need a few stiff drinks's to calm my nerves around Remoteness and you other heavy hitters!@#$%

Me +1

my +1 is Ross Frankel (old schooler from the 48th street Hit Factory days)

I'll bring the Bell Labs 2" 12track tape head for show and tell

can't wait!

**Remoteness** · 13th April 2007, 05:51 PM

I'm chiming in a bit late, but...

It's not too late to sign up. I got you buddy's name, what's your name?
PM me if you want to keep it private.

I just need to speak to you (and a few others) that I do not know as of yet.
In any event, it sounds cool to me so, PM me your numbers and names ASAP.
PM me if you want to keep it private.

I also need to discuss Luger logistics.
IE: Food & drink ordering.
Bill payment – Luger’s will not do separate checks, but I have an idea.
Traveling to/from – How are you folks getting to Luger’s? Mass transit or what?
I may have a cool transportation option depending on how you’re getting there.

Some of you still need to confirm, so lets firm this up ASAP.
I will send a PM, email or call everyone very soon.

Does any of this make sense?

seaneldon · 13th April 2007, 06:49 PM

i've gotta bow out, sadly. as it turns out my client has booked a few extra days in dc. i'll be there until may 1st. not gonna be able to make the luger's steakfest.

very, very sad.

bishopthomas · 14th April 2007, 08:18 AM

I plan on taking NJT to Penn Station, then the subway to wherever... I haven't really planned it out. Meeting at Luger's doesn't seem like an issue, it's meeting back at Steve's somewhat together that might be a problem.

**Remoteness** · 14th April 2007, 06:41 PM

Exactly. I was thinking we should car pool to my shop after Luger's.

So, how many Mass Transit folks are there?
And, how many are coming with a vehicle?

bishopthomas · 20th April 2007, 02:20 AM

So, I guess neither one? Everyone must be walking...

**Remoteness** · 20th April 2007, 03:33 PM

So, we're a weekend away from our first Remotester's luncheon!
I cannot not wait to see you folks...

It's gonna be a blast.

Keep in mind, Peter Luger Steakhouse is a CASH ONLY restaurant so make sure you bring enough bread to handle your food & drink orders.

Since I already have a deposit on the 3:45pm lunch reservation you'll be paying the bill through me.

I'll make up a guest list and we'll write in the orders (and pricing) ahead of time as we place them with the waiter. Remember there's an 8.375% sales tax and 15 to 20% tip that must be included in your budget.

We'll make sure we have an estimate of everyones order up front so the bill will not be a hassle to figure out at the end.

If you folks have a better idea on how to handle this economically let us know!

See you Monday, April 23, 2007 at Peter Luger Steakhouse, just across the Williamsburg Bridge.

Axiomhead · 22nd April 2007, 09:19 PM

22 hours, 38 Minutes...

**Remoteness** · 23rd April 2007, 05:45 PM

Three hours to Luger time...

Are we all ready for action?

Jim vanBergen · 24th April 2007, 02:16 AM

That was a good time, great people, wonderful food. Much better than my trip to the doc to fix my allergies earlier today!

And Steve's shop is looking pretty hip. Everywhere you turn is loads of gear...

Nice trucks, bro!

OK, now it's time to get the kids to bed and enjoy the cow coma

from all the steak.

Thanks guys, for participating and showing up! Thanks Steve!

JvB

Axiomhead · 24th April 2007, 04:16 AM

Wow guys... Steve Just dropped us off in Williamsburg (in a kick ass 7 Series... 0-60 in 6 seconds!) What a night. I feel like I just recieved a 4 year education in 8 hours.

Thanks slutz... and a very special thanks to Steve!

Larrysings · 24th April 2007, 06:44 AM

Great to see everybody at Luger's. Sorry I was preoccupied and had to jet early. Duty called, and sometimes as Steve mentioned, you have to be the fireman

. Hope all you guys had a great day. Maybe I'll see many more of you at my Gearslutz party during AES.

ajfarber · 24th April 2007, 01:53 PM

Too much schlag!

Musiclab · 24th April 2007, 07:22 PM

Once again Steve Remote is the host with the most. Nice meeting you remote guys
sorry I didn't get to talk to all of you and that I left early but great get together

I dont think I could have handled the food tab but I wish I could have made it to the remoteness shop!

I see there wass at least 18 people at lugers. Did ervryone make it back to the shop? What were the highlights? did you guys play with any gear? Are there any pics to share?

Thanks!

bishopthomas · 26th April 2007, 05:28 AM

It was worth it for some tasty meat! Yeah, there were 18 at Lugers, and I believe 15 went back to Steve's shop. We played with a little bit of gear, mostly got the detailed tour of the trucks and chatted. The new truck is going to be amazing. Someone took pictures (I'm sorry I don't remember, I'm horrible with names), and hopefully he'll post them very soon. Hint, hint...

Larrysings · 26th April 2007, 08:44 AM

Just spoke to Steve and brainstormed just a bit about our next "New York Chapter" get together. We would love to put together a workshop utilizing some of Steve's favorite gear at both his shop and at my studio, entitled:

"A remote recordists empirical guide to highly applicable techniques and their audible implications in a sonically controlled environment"

or

Steve's live recording methods in a recording studio.

Our last time at my place was a blast and Steve was a major part of it. I would love for all to benefit from over 30 years of field experience. We also plan on Videotaping for the forum. Date TBA.

Let us know who would be interested.
