The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Apologies to those who aren't interested in this topic - I'm trying 
to keep the on list traffic to a minimum but the overwhelming 
opinion was this is on topic, so...

Here's the current status: the response to the get together has 
been terrific! I've had about ten replies between two lists 
solicited: AN1x-list and the ASR-X list - and I asked UGO to 
extended the invite to his FIZMO users list (I've also emailed 
some ex list members who might like to attend - we'll see what 
happens with them.) I think we'll have an interesting group of 
attendees if all goes as planned. It amazes me how many 
common interests are shared amongst us.

I've received an offer from one list member to actually meet at 
their home studio(!) ("Hey honey, guess who's coming to 
dinner?") and another list member provided a *wealth* of 
suggestions for coordinating an event where we would bring our 
instruments and amps for a jam session. These are great idea's 
- and I'd like to follow up on them but first I want to get this 'event' 
up and running. There will be a next time - and my thinking is 
these idea's would be great for smaller, list specific gatherings 
(say 5 or so people?) We can discuss this further...

If your name is on the list below then I received a reply from you 
either directly or via a Yahoo! Groups mailing list:

ASR-X list:
Max Bent
oper (Scott)
SEAN SOMERVILLE
Madhuntter
UGO

AN1X-list:
Ed Edwards
Sayer
Randy Johnson
mummer7
Jon

If your name is not on the list and you would like to be included - 
email me at jondl_200@... Everybody is welcome.

I'm driving up to Wheaton, MD this week to scope out some 
meeting places that were suggested (thank you, btw!)

The tentative dates are:

May 25
June 8
June 15
June 22.

My choice would be June 8 w/ June 15 as a fall back - this leave 
time for people to plan ahead. I'll be very busy the week of the 
25th which leaves little time for me to deal with anything last 
minute but that doesn't mean we can't go with that date.

If you have any resource materials (old articles, magazines, etc.) 
you'd like to share - or demos to hand out - feel free to bring 
them along. Please, no warez or bootleg sample CDs - not that 
anybody would do that :-)

Keep in mind I'm only referring to this as 'DC Metro Musicians' for 
lack of a better term :-P There are just so many of us in this area 
who happened to meet online I think it will be a rewarding 
experience to place a face with a name and share our interest in 
electronic instruments. I'm really looking forward to this and 
hope everybody else is too!

regards,

Jon

p.s. - Barring any dramatic events I plan to send out another 
update next Wednesday
