Title: Welcome to the new NY Rave Forum
Post by: BobM on October 09, 2009, 08:16:09 AM
I know there are a lot of NY Ravers over here, as well as on Audio Circle. There's been some controversy about some members posts over at AC in the last few months and as a result some are no longer welcome over there.

Since we still love you guys and want to hang out with you, Topround asked that this new forum be created (thanks Mike for taking the initiative). This way everyone can receive notification of upcoming meetings, contribute and participate in threads, post controversial pictures, even use questionable smiley's  :yay2:

So welcome everyone. I think the first topic should be a stickey on upcoming meetings.

Enjoy,
Bob

satfrat is already AN member. Try PMing him.  Don't remember Mike's AC name? I just keep picturing Butthead in a kilt with boogers playing the tambourine.  Maybe he's in AN members list too.

Wow!  What an exit!  Give Wes credit he said what was on his mind and I think possibly many of us have agreement with some of his comments.  However,  I think it is probably difficult to manage a site and keep it operating to enable folks like us to use it for free.

Fine.Stickball

The Ford Escort is 1st base
Sewer cap is second
Oak tree is third.
Home plate is a flat rock
Two strikes and your out. Tips count as strikes.
If the ball gets lost in Mr Jones' bushes, ground ruled double.
No do overs!

Ready?

Around my neck???? Heck, the KaplanCable H(appy)E(ending) power cord is the perfect substitute (Brooklyn wise) for a rat-tail towel. I prefer the rhodium, as platinum group inflicted wounds are prevented from healing and closing...

Ready ? No no not that kind of stickball. You know the game where we pitch into a strikebox. Yes Paul if Jabba can wear that rope thing around his neck then. I would choose the copper cord to lessen the arthirtis.

Hey, here's where you guys went to!

I grew up playing stickball in the Bronx, and we played in the schoolyard against a wall with a strike zone drawn in chalk behind the batter. If the ball had chalk on it, it was a strike. There was no running; base hits were called for the distance the ball travelled. I don't remember all the details (it was almost 45 years ago!) but I do remember that reaching the roof of the buildings across the street was an automatic home run, and at least a 10 minute trip to retrieve the Spalding ball.

We also played stoop ball and skulzy(spelling?) or was it skully, the game with the bottle caps filled with melted crayons, and sometimes a penney melted in there for extra weight.

We had the best bread too :drool:

I thought the 7 is fantastic, simply for the fantastic spatiality.  I was amazed at the way I could sense much better the positioning of the singer, the instrumentalists.... in the soundstage.  Nobody was able to play his/own music, so can't say much further.  Great speaker, tho at $45K, I'd have to wait for the Mega Millions jackpot Tuesday at least.  All that effort Mr. V. spent in developing it, it's worth every penny, he said.  I would seriously consider it if I have the dough.

I did not get to hear them sadly enough.
The room was very crowded and very hot and humid from what I could see as people gasped for air as they left :rofl:
I peeked my head in and took a look and it sounded real good, but I honestly cannot say really what they sounded like.
My two boys were with me and they were getting bored and acting up, so I had to leave.
I may get a chance this week to get up close and personal with them.

MikeM, glad to hear from you, next time we meet I would love to go for a ride in your Mazdaspeed 3 , no funny comments please .
My friend had the speed6 and that was a blast the 3 is even faster.

Hey, I was born and raised in north NJ (Ramsey) but it's been nearly 40 years since I lived there.  The two things I miss most are the food and easy access to the city.   It's great to see and hear from all our new AN members from my old stomping ground!  North Carolina has come a long way since I left Jersey but it's still not easy to find good pizza much less a great bakery.

Stickball!   Damn, those were the days....
