November 2014 Meetup
Thursday, November 20th, 2014
November's MSP Audio Geeks Meetup is on Thursday, November 20 at 2pm. This is a special event, hosted by Corey Schreppel of Minnesota Public Radio | American Public Media.
We will start the afternoon off at the Fitzgerald Theater to sit in on a rehearsal for the popular show Wits. After the rehearsal we'll have the chance to discuss some of the elements that go into running a live show, as well as the workflow involved in recording and broadcasting a live performance. We will then walk over to the MPR studios for a tour.
From the website: Wits is a live public radio show that brings world-class comedians, actors and musicians to the stage where host John Moe gives them and the audience the time of their lives. Wits mixes improv, sketch comedy, conversation, music and genuine beauty in a program praised as “one of the rare public radio comedy shows that’s actually funny†(Huffington Post) and “on course to become a national hit†(USA Today).
The rehearsal will be for the show on Friday, November 21 featuring actor Keegan-Michael Key and musical guest Bhi Bhiman. The show starts at 8pm and you can purchase tickets through Ticketmaster or by calling the Fitzgerald Theater at 651-290-1200. There are special discounts for MPR members and for Wits Social Club members.

Audio Society of Minnesota
The Audio Society of Minnesota is a non-commercial hobby organization incorporated in 1979. They present monthly meetings from September to May/June of each year, and publish a monthly ASM Bulletin during that time.
They support all audiophile interests. They have tube freaks and solid-state freaks, people who only listen to digital and people who would be happy if digital had never been invented, folks who have never seen an LP in their lives and others who have thousands, members who think nothing of making major expenditures for audio gear and others who are interested in the best bang for their buck, some with advanced degrees in engineering and some who don't know an Ohm from a Watt, those who think of their hobby as a science and those who think of it as an art. But they all have one thing in common: They love music and they love to hear it accurately and emotionally recreated in their homes.
Meetings are held at the Pavek Museum of Broadcasting:
3517 Raleigh Avenue
St. Louis Park, MN 55416
