Well i'm still trying to clear a work date off my calendar, but if that happens, i will probably 'drag' myself east for this mayhem.

I would likely fly into TO and rent a vehicle. We get pretty good corporate rates through Enterprise so there is a possibility of me renting a larger vehicle for those looking for a drive from the airport.

This would of course require some fastidious timing and planning but i thought i would throw it out as a possibility in the next few weeks.

Is there an outline of the days/events planned?
i.e. what is going on thursday? friday? saturday? sunday?
Might help people to plan if they only want to head up for two nights vs. three or four.

Well, on Friday Mark is playing golf. With himself... ;\)

The only official thing I know that is planned is Saturday at Axiom. I was thinking of arriving early to maybe do some paddling on the Thursday, but that is very much weather dependant.

I'm up for a round of golf on Friday.

Just ideas-

- Axiom group dinner Saturday? Some people are only going Saturday, so hopefully the dinner would include everyone.
- Friday/Saturday night drinking, and who's partaking in the debauchery! (I'm getting Mark hammered! \:D )
- I'm going to PM Amie about the cab situation up there. I'll need an accessible one to haul my inebriated ass around because Teri will be drinking and obviously can't drive my van.

Relax Cam. We'll wheel you around. What could possibly go wrong?

JP, Peter and I are all flying into Buffalo on Thursday morning. We are planning to rent a car, stay in TO Thursday night and drive to Dwight Friday. We'll head back south on Sunday.

I've seen quite a bit of evidence regarding Peter's wife and have actually met JP's wife. So, we all HAVE wives, but we're not bringing them.

Most trips should have beer and food as central themes, and I am just beginning to do that research.

I'm looking forward to Cam and Mark reenacting the drinking scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Cam and the rest of you will be disappointed. I'm not really much of a drinker at all, having maybe 1-2 beers a week and I don't think I've had hard liquor in probably 20 years.

I used to have a bit too much of both, but that's not me anymore.

I was only getting Mark going, as he already told me he was a lightweight \:\) . And I drink once every couple months, but when I do, I make up for lost time .

I need a drinking buddy - Murph.......

Everyone,

The Axiom Anniversary weekend is shaping up just great. Our plan is to have all the main events on Saturday day and evening. During the day on Saturday we will have factory tours, double blind listen tests, some workshops on various audio topics with Alan, Andrew, and myself, plus we will have a buffet lunch. For dinner on Saturday we will be hosting a BBQ and after dinner party. We will have the BBQ and party either in an open tent behind the factory (which is the Algonquin Trails campground) or at my dock; it will depend a lot on the weather.

For those coming on Thursday and Friday this will be a great time to play around Muskoka. Amie will organize the golf game on Friday for everyone who wants to play; I am sure some Axiom staff will want to join in for this. Besides the golfing there are lots of things to do around the area including canoeing, hiking, fishing, fine dining, and of course general lying around on the dock. Thursday and Friday evening we can all get together for a few drinks to bring a relaxing end to the day. Perhaps an evening boat cruise would be nice too.

I think we are probably running out of space at Lumina by now because they are hosting a wedding on Saturday but Amie is making arrangements at some other nearby lodges today for us.

We are all looking forward to meeting everyone in September.

Cheers,


Ian Colquhoun
President & Chief Engineer
