My travel is booked. C U @ EmoFest 2017! Just booked my flights as well. I'll be in Nashville before dinner time on Friday, so I'll be looking for a group to get together with for dinner and drinks. I'll be looking for the same on Friday. The last time I was in Nashville was 8 years ago and we sure enjoyed a few live bands and drinks on Lower Broadway; I think they serve food too.

So that makes two of us so far, and today starts the 4 month countdown!

That tends to be a fairly busy weekend in Franklin. I would suggest getting on your hotel reservations soon rather than later. I would highly recommend the Drury Plaza. They have a great FREE happy hour with drinks and food. There is also a microbrewery (Granite City) next door that has pretty good drinks and food.

So, are there plans by Emotiva to reserve rooms at a discount? Or are we on our own?
That's why I don't like Holiday weekends for this kind of thing. You are competing with other travelers as well as higher prices because it's a Holiday weekend.
On the positive side it usually means a vacation day is tacked onto the weekend.

If I remember right (it's been a few years since the last one) they usually come out with that info around the end of June/early July.

Can I bring in my XMC-1 for the HDMI 2.0 upgrade in person and get it back before I head back home? I really don't want to ship it (I'd be driving in from Philly)

I really don't want to ship it (I'd be driving in from Philly) EmoFest is an all-hands-on-deck weekend for the Emotiva Crew. They'll be setting up the rooms with all the different equipment and running demos non-stop, selling gear, keeping food & drink stocked, possibly having lectures by visiting guests(like they did with DIRAC one year), and who knows what else. In other words, the techs will be busy doing other things and most likely won't have the time to do any repairs or upgrades. If they were to have this service during EmoFest, I'd bet quite a few XMC-1 owners would be bringing there units so they could take them back with them, but you never know until you ask. I'm sure they would accept your unit but my guess is it wouldn't be worked on until at least the Tuesday after Labor Day, and then shipped back to you. At least this would save you shipping to Emotiva.

Hey, and wilburthegoose could bring his XMC to the bar Saturday night and we could all join in and install it there!

Timing is everything, after a few months off I started a 6 month contract this week which means no Emofest for me this year. Lots of pictures please and plenty of posts on what's happening and what's new and shiny. I know this year will be a raging success so there'll be one next year that I can make it to.
Cheers Gary

I'm sure there will be stuff to keep the kids occupied. They can play around with the equipment, like turning the knobs up and down rapidly, or pushing all the buttons/flipping all the switches, or playing jump rope with the cables.

Are you talking about what the kids will do, or what I'll do?

Oh my gosh... I can't stop LAUGHING!!!
To add to the fun, I'll bring my 3 year old black lab, who will ensure no food is on the ground and your kids' faces are clean!

Will Emotiva work with local hotels on an event rate -or- are we on our own?
