Smoker_Man: Though I would try to involve the few in Texas and try to make the meet happen in Las Vegas or something

Umm... as part of the "few in Texas" I don't really see myself driving the car all the way to Vegas for an empeg love-in. I imagine we'd need to have a look at empeg sales records to know where a good "center" would be. Austin is roughly the center of Texas, as far as major Texas cities go, but if you want to include New Orleans folks, the center shifts over to Houston.

I'm sure the San Francisco Bay Area has its own critical mass.

Actually, the best answer might be to see if mp3.com hosts another MP3 Summit. San Diego in June last year was absolutely beautiful. I got to see the empeg car player for the first time in person and I got some nifty empeg bumper stickers (now collectors items!). I'd imagine other empeg owners would equally enjoy the MP3 Summit if it were to happen again and would actually ponder flying out for it.

Meanwhile, anybody who cares can check out the Webcast from last year.

(If you click on "The Truth about Security", I think that's the talk I gave about various security standards, SDMI, and all that. Their streaming media server thing isn't working right now, so I can't check for sure.)
