That was great. This is definitely stuff I'm learning more about.

Any other area you see the HN crowd lacking in?

I will be there!

I think I will be able to attend this one!

Can't wait to meet everyone tomorrow! Hopefully everyone is still planning on attending.

I will be there!

I also know a couple of people that aren't frequenters of LW that will likely attend.

Sounds good to me!

So it looks like we have enough interest to have a meetup, even before Alicorn/AdeleneDawner get their new place setup. So lets recommend some times/places and go from there.

mutterc mentioned Brier Creek. As he mentioned it is centrally located and has some good spots for meetups. Probably a good area for this first meetup. Alicorn mentioned some venues near her that could be used as well. Both of these seem like good ideas to me.

Scheduling for me: As I said in the original post, it is easier for me to attend during the week, but given 2 weeks advance notice I could meet up on the weekend as well.

I have been using Harmony and Voice Leading for a little while. Is An Introduction to Tonal Theory really that much better?

I've always felt that the way they explain concepts is very hand wavy and doesn't really explain anything and I tend to prefer things to be more mathematical or abstract.

I'll probably pick this book up on your suggestion.

Having a meetup here would be great. I know a couple people that would attend, but I'm not too sure of the overall readership here.

Raleigh, what about you?
