Jay's barbecue - disinvited


The barbecue is on and is all very exciting, or I should say was exciting.  We had lots of fun talking about decorations around pool, inviting neighbors who live kind of far away since Jay lives in the middle of a forest. And also about food and local caterers who plan to help.

The mood was celebratory.

It was exciting visiting the most famous listening room in the country, and because I was having trouble containing my excitement I accidentally spilled an entire glass of merlot wine on a new carpet. And earlier I recommended putting a couch along the wall which would've overlapped the acoustic panels and possibly putting a few pieces of furniture in the room since space seems kind of open. It's a really large room. I sensed a mood change.

Was it the wine? Was it my taste in furniture? Was it related to my concern about types of music that that would be played at the barbecue? 

It's a mystery. Things did not go well that afternoon and consequently, I will not be invited to the barbecue.

What an amazing journey and I'm sorry I will not be able to visit and experience all the incredibly expensive and wonderful audio components that will be featured. That's OK.  Thank God for you tube.

for those future visitors, please let me know if he was able to get the stain out of the carpet. Maybe now he'll consider buying a couch which will hide the stain.

Maybe it had to do with my comment about the lack of a flatscreen behind the monos. Seems there should be some attempt to offer home theater advice.

Suggesting that a television belongs in a proper listening room is more than enough reason for eviction. It wasn't the spilled wine, it was the TV. Now it makes sense! 🤣

 

Funny story even though c.b. fiction but some of the comments are even better. I think I'd definitely send the Crab dip (refrigerated).

I agree with @devinplombier  A big screen tv is the last thing you want in a dedicated listening room.

Hmmm...  This has me thinking that for future reference regarding any entertainment venue that has a large light colored rug and where wine is being  served:  It might be prudent to serve a nice white wine. 🤔

Of course this is just my subjective opinion, and as such should be taken with a grain of sand. 😊
