I think I'm in for attending Axpona 2014 in Chicago this year.

Any WBF members planning to attend?

Looking forward to seeing/hearing any equipment?

Bringing music? Analog or Digital?

I'll be there and hosting on Saturday the reel to reel forum.

Our panelists (some may be familiar to WBF denizens) include:

Charlie King
Nick Doshi
Bruce Brown
Jonathan Horwich
Ki Choi

and maybe Volker Lange.

Should be a reel fun time for all!

Does anyone have a link to what will be available in each room? I can't seem to find it on the axpona.com site. Hard to get excited about the show if you don't know what will be displayed.

Caesar are you planning to introduce yourself this year to members of WBF or will you continue to wear your cloak of invisibility as you did last year ;)

Steve,
I know his identity, since he is in the area and has been over a few times, as he owns Sound Labs. I suspect he'll stop in our room. But out of respect for his privacy I'll not blow his cover ;)

Will you be attending?

Caesar, if you'll divulge your identity here I'll be glad to post a link to the information you seek, or at least a good portion of it. It's a fair thing to ask.

Not that important to me Brian. I'll be there but wearing my Cloak of Invisibility. ;)

Hey Steve, this “invisibility” is not intentional. Your RMAF dinners are impossible for me to attend. My brother lives in Denver area, so the whole family goes to visit. After being away for most of the day at the show, with my wife and brother watching the kids, there is no chance I can also escape at night.

If I see a guy that looks like your avatar, I’ll say hello. If I recognize anyone else from WBF, I am more than happy to chat.

I'll be happy to quietly introduce you two if you're both in the room at the same time.

I'll be there. Planning to bring some flacs on a USB stick, but if you have a copy of Anuoar Brahem "Astrounding Eyes of Rita" that would be brilliant.
