London Slutz & Sounds Expo

Just wondering if anyone's going to Sounds Expo in London this year?? I'm going (haven't decided which day yet) and it would be nice to hook up if any of you are going to be there.

Hi David,

I went last year (travelled down from Newcastle) and I was dissapointed.

Hope it's better this year !

Yes thanks for starting this thread.

There WILL be an oficial Gearslutz Dinner on Sat 16th of April.

Now.. the odd / awkward thing is... the show shuts it's doors at 4pm on Sat..

So for anyone traveling down I suggest getting to the show early.... and planing to do some shopping in the west end before dinner!

I'll jump in quickly here: THREE reasons for not chosing the 16th for the dinner:

1. F.A. Cup semi-finals... (ok, I know that won't convince you)
2. I can't make it due to a gig in Bournemouth of all places
3. I CAN'T MAKE IT

see... this is how much I want to hang out with you guys...

Restaraunt will probably be in Chinatown, central London.

What time is the kick off for semi final?

See, the other days for the show are 'weekdays' and I figured not everyone will be able to get that time off to travel to Wembley...

What days do our estemed Low End moderators Labs & Dr Delta get into the UK? (they will be at the Dinner)

I am developing ideas for stuff to do from 4pm untill dinner...

Wembly may end up being the dinner destination if one new plan gets organised...

I wonder if the show is ending on Sat at 4pm BECAUSE of the football... any insight into this situation is greatly appreciated...

thanks in advance!

Lets all meet early on in the day how does 10.30 - 11.00 sound to everyone. Anyone who is more familiar with the venue could suggest a rendevous point!!

If any of you guys are visiting the show... feel free to come by the DV Pro stand. Mostly it's 120u of cool outboard and Pro Tools HD. We're also showing a few new pieces yo may not have seen before:

- TL Audio M4 console
- Drawmer S3 multiband compressor
- Drawmer 3SUM
- Neve 8051 surround compressor
- FAR OBS100 monitors

I've tried to attach a few images but I can't work the damn thing out on this new forum version (!?)

Mike Cluskey of AMS Neve will there to rep the Neve kit (Thurs only). Also the guys from Manley and Neve have kindly given us a few t-shirts etc to give away, if you mention you're a Slut, we'll see what's left in the goody bag.

Over and out...
