Stereo speakers

Can anyone bring a pair of speakers? I've got a good working receiver, but I noticed as I was loading speakers into the van that the foam surrounds are shot. For movie audio, my Plan B will be fine - I've got a really nice boom box with large speakers and a line input, but if someone has a convenient pair of decent speakers they can bring along, we can have a little more flexibility.

Someone should bring a boom box. The local station (101.5) plays classic rock and 60s-80s music on weekends. Good background music that everyone likes.

Last-minute Festivus info
by Evan Koblentz 04 Dec '15

Everyone who's going to Festivus: 1. Get to the InfoAge Science Center: 2201 Marconi Rd., Wall, NJ, 07081. 2. Open the main gate. Drive through. Close and latch (don't lock) the gate behind you. DO THIS EVEN IF IT WAS ALREADY OPEN WHEN YOU ARRIVE. 3. I bought bright colored duct tape. I will put giant block letters spelling "VCF" on the ground in front of the gate. There will also be big arrows. Follow them. 4. Jeff B. and I will be there at 10:30am. That party starts at 11am. We'll park our cars in an orderly row. Follow our lead. Do not park haphazardly. 5. Do not prop open the door to the building! 6. Sunday morning: we'll all meet for breakfast at 9am at our usual spot -- the Princess Maria Diner, 2044 Rt. 35, Wall NJ. Chances are we'll be back to InfoAge by 10:30-11:00ish. 7. If any gets lost or has questions, then call or text me at 646-546-9999. I'll answer promptly unless I am driving (approximately 9:30-10:30am tomorrow). See you all tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing old friends and new members alike.
