Why not come to a show on the East Coast that's growing?

 

The 2012 Capital Audiofest is set for July 13-15 in the Washington DC

area, and will again be at Crown Plaza Hotel but with more of

everything so will be bigger and better. More quality playback

equipment, listening rooms, display table space, retailers, audio and

video manufacturers and live music. Last year we had approximately

1000 attendees exploring 30 rooms which isnt bad for a two year old

show! This year we plan to have 50-60 rooms along with more of everything. .

If you have not read the rave reviews by Stereophile's own John

Atkinson, then please go to the CAF website www.capitalaudiofest.com

and link to Stereophile and other great commentary found on the

internet. Please contact me if you are interested in rate and room

information so you can reserve now.www.capitalaudiofest.com.

CAF 2012 is set for July 13-15.

3rd annual Capital Audiofest

Great idea but not necessarily a new one and difficult to carry out. I am not a retailer nor do I intend to be one so would need some very cost effective gear to cart around from campus to campus. I think that shootout scenario is more for a retailer scenario? Long gone are the days of small retailers in college towns selling cost effective gear. I have considered advertising in student newspapers though.

There are a few nice wine bars and brew pubs nearby and definately know the way to them so will show you folks the way. There is also a well stocked bar in the hotel that will hold you over until the end of each day.

What do you think about live music at a show?
1 Reply
I love live music at shows, but I don't know about a fee. I like the way Ray Kimber does it a RMAF. He just sets up some chairs and a small stage and lets whoever wants to attend to have a seat and listen to a great performance (most of the time). Maybe that's a better way of doing it: getting a company to sponsor an act.
