I'm probably missing people - for that I apologize, but otherwise these are guys I've at least interacted with through PM on several occasions and I know they live locally - many I've been to their house and they to mine.
We have a google groups membership that we use to communicate with as well:
Kansas City Home Theater Enthusiasts
Feel free to request access to this google group:
Luke Kamp, carp, stitch1, and I are the managers of the google group - so you'll want to request access through one of us.
What I suggest is that those interested can consider hosting an evening for a rotating movie night. The interval can be fleshed out - - -Perhaps monthly, perhaps quarterly. You may only wish to host once, you may wish to host more often. If you would like to host a movie night at your home to show of your equipment, meet other enthusiasts in the hobby, or learn more about the hobby please provide the date you are willing to host. The details of the g2g can be hashed out through PM to keep address and contact information private if preferred.
If you'd like to be added to the list, or would consider hosting an event - please sound off in the thread, or shoot me a PM.
