Question: How many Rockboxers are from New York or the Tri-State Area?
« on: June 22, 2007, 12:10:00 PM »
Hey everybody! I've noticed on Rasher's Rockboxers world map (http://rasher.dk/rockbox/people/) that there's a huge concetration of Rockboxers located in or near New York City.

So how many forum members are from the area? I'm located in Hoboken, New Jersey myself, but I'm in New York nearly every day (I work here, of course  :)).

I'm thinking about maybe starting a Rockbox Social for the New York area. We can meet maybe once a week or something, and gather to discuss Rockbox and maybe pitch ideas back and forth. So who's up for it?

I can get my girlfriend (iriver H320) and two buddies of mine (iriver H320 and iriver H120) to come along as well.

Just as a note (as  I am involved in a few user groups), meeting once a week is very often.  Typically meetings are done every few months, once a month, or the rare twice a month.

Once a month does sound more reasonable.

I live in Westchester, and I'll have my license soon enough. About a year from now, I'd have my license, but I could always take the train in  :)

True; there's a MetroNorth line in that area, isn't there?

I'm local, thus the nickname.

I've owned the following players (all rockboxed) at one time or another.
H120 (RTCMod), H140, H320, Ipod3G, Ipod4G (grayscale), Toshiba F20.
I now only have the H120(RTC) and the Toshiba F20.

If there was a short agenda for the meeting I'd be willing to geek out for an hour in the evening. Why not?  It'd be fun. Someplace downtown maybe...

I'm usually hanging out on Wednesdays downtown, usually near St. Mark's Place or anywhere below 14th Street. Amongst my friends, I'm considered the go-to guy for anything Rockbox related, since I took the time to grok it as much as I could.

Davide-NYC, if you want to discuss this a little further, PM me or e-mail me; my address is in my profile. I'm going to ask my two friends/fellow Rockboxers about maybe doing something once a month or so, maybe for about an hour or two in an evening. Any other New York-based Rockboxers interested?

Since there haven't been any updates for a while, I might as well announce that I already have two interested members for a Rockbox NYC Social.

While we're deciding on a location, one we have in mind is Starbucks on 3rd Avenue and St. Marks Place. There's a nice corner area we can all sit in, and if there's anyone interested in a pint or two, there's a couple of good bars about a block or two away.

I propose we meet on the third Wednesday of every month, holidays pending. If there's a change, I'll let the members know.

Bring your Rockboxed DAP(s), a laptop if you please, and some cash, of course. Can't have coffee or beer without cash!  ;)

If anyone else is interested, PM or e-mail me for more details!

(EDIT: Forgot that August 15th falls on the third Wednesday of the month, and I won't be available then.)

Philly here, but I can get to NYC (and go there ~once a month) easily.

How well do you know New York City? Just out of curiousity.

If you need help getting around, you can ask me.

So I can be iPod video 5.5G!  ;)

While I'm at it, here's a Starbucks in New York that I frequent, via Google Maps:

I'm on Long Island at the moment.  I have an old iRiver H120 that I adore.  Recently I matched it up with a custom-made portable version of the Monica 2 DAC, a Ray Samuels Tomahawk headphone amp, and some Future Sonics Atrio m5's that I use with it.  The sound is wonderful, though the whole setup is pretty fiddly, especially given how minor a sound improvement it provides over my Cowon A2 with the Atrio.  Granted, Rockbox is much better than the A2's software, but still.

Unfortunately, I'm planning on moving to North Carolina soon (assuming I can line up more stable work than a potentially unstable consulting gig with a friend), and weekends are taken up by preparing for the move/looking for houses, so it's unlikely that I'd be available for a meet.  A shame, too, as I'd love to show off my Monica.  heh.

I think it's a little late for this, but if anyone wants to meet some Rockboxers tonight in New York, head to Starbucks on Bowery and Astor Place, across the street from Cooper Union Square. It's a small Starbucks with an outdoor seating area.

Just head inside and shout "Rockbox!" if you're looking for me. We can all sit and have some coffee or something and enjoy ourselves.

Won't they just need to spot someone looking like a 1950's professor, smoking a pipe?  ;)
