Lone Star Audio Fest 2009

[We will have more about LSAF 2009 as we learn more]

“We are pleased to let you know that the Lone Star Audio Fest is on for 2009.

There has been a need of a common place for fellow audio enthusiast to meet in our region. And Dallas seemed like the logical place that is central to several surrounding states and cities for us to come together. Therefore, LSAF was born with the hope of bringing our closely knit community together. LSAF 2009 is the third annual meeting, with the hope to expand attendance and continue our festival into future years.

Lone Star Audio Fest has grown from a grass roots effort to bring fellow enthusiast together in the pursuit of enjoying our common passion for music through audio playback equipment.

LSAF will be held in Dallas, TX at the Embassy Suites Dallas Park Central on June 19-21, 2009.

This Embassy Suite in the North East region of Dallas has recently gone through a massive renovation which offers a quality setting for LSAF 2009.

Here is a link to the hotel for further details: http://www.esdallasparkcentral.hotel-brochure.com/

There is no registration cost for exhibitors, and no admission price for attendees as usual. We believe that this low cost structure allows many more the opportunity to attend and exhibit at our festival. Your relationship is entirely between you and the hotel. We are all agreeing to meet there as attendees and exhibitors of the LSAF, and by booking as a group we are able to get a better room rate ($99 per night vs. the regular rate of $139). So be sure to let them know you are attending the LSAF event. To make reservations by phone call 972-234-3300 and tell them you are coming to the Lone Star Audio Fest. Or, go to http://embassysuites.hilton.com/en/es/groups/personalized/DALTXES-LSA-20090616/index.jhtml to register online.

Please email Shane Moore at shanemmail-lsaf@yahoo.com or info@lonestaraudiofest if you will be attending and would like to have your name/logo added to the list of exhibitors on the LSAF webpage(http://www.lonestaraudiofest.com/). Also, please email Shane after you book your room as well, so he can keep a head count.

If you have any other questions please don’t hesitate to contact us.

We in the LSAF steering committee have volunteered our time in an effort to make this festival a possibility. But, we know that your participation is what will make LSAF a success. It is the fellow enthusiasts that make this audio festival what it is.

And we are all looking forward to seeing everyone there!!!!

Many thanks from the LSAF steering committee:

Shane Moore, Paul Hileman, Norris Wilson

Show Report, minus a few glitches, is more or less, just about…

done.

3700 photos [yep, still need to update the show issue cover. To think, the original expectation was 1500 photos] or so. 2201 pages.

Still needs some spelling fixes and a few pages got left behind during the mass publishing marathon that was this report.

Next issue will have a nice summary of the favorites – but the show report itself will serve as the archive and discussion point for a long time to come.

I hope.

Don’t want to be doing these things all that often… It takes on average 3 minutes to judge, clean up and crop each photo in photoshop.

A few changes to the toolbar, based on feedback from our readers.

One change is that we replaced the life-preserver with a question mark, as many people did not understand that the life-preserver was the thing to click for help. It was Neli’s favorite icon, and one of mine, so we hope people like the question mark… otherwise were going to bring back that life preserver all over again 🙂

It should also be easier to find older issues.

etc.

Enjoy!
