I live in central SF (near Alamo Square Park), and would be interested in attending (or, perhaps hosting). My collection is all digital, a few hundred titles, mostly DVDa/v's, some SACD's, DVD-a/v ISO's and DTS files, and one BD. I'd likely bring my hard drive and a few discs.
My tastes run the gamut from pop to avant-garde, but a few things I'd like to hear, are the Velvet Underground's "Loaded", Pere Ubu's "Modern Dance", and Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music".
Looking forward to hanging with a few of you surround-music-fans!

Again...killing me...we need something in the "midwest"!
Nice to make your acquaintance! No reason why there only has to be one! You could attend sometime, if the date/time works and host some other time!

So, it is true that I can't host at my abode, BUT... I am a student at an audio production school (actually a professional production house) in SF. Their main control room has a 13.2 (I think; maybe it's 11.2) system for mixing and playtesting. I'll be taking a 5.1 mixing class in July from an instructor (the top mixer for the production company) I currently take a Pro Tools class with, and we've already bonded over our shared love of music in surround. I'll see him tomorrow for class, and I'll chat him up about maybe organizing a "community event." Wouldn't be able to have food or drink in the control room, but there's a modest canteen adjacent and additional space in the lobby. I'll ask about what formats they are capable of playing back; I have doubts about SACD. Bonus: the location is convenient to Caltrain, BART, and has a nearby municipal parking garage (not cheap until the evenings).

I'd relish the opportunity to have a listening party in a surround studio. Speaking of other venues where we could meet, there are a few places open to the public that have surround sound programs. The Audium has shows every weekend, but there's also CCRMA at Stanford, CNMAT at Berkeley, Sound Box at the SF Symphony, and occasionally there's something at the Exploratorium. Also, the SFMoMA will be reopening in May, with a Meyer Constellation muti-channel sound system, and soon we'll have a new public space in SF dedicated to surround audio, called Envelop.
Wow! I'm down for any of this!
I have a spare Pioneer universal (SACD/DVD-Audio) DVD player, which has 5.1 analog outs only, that I would be willing to tote along to any location that might be able to hook it up.
Actually they are quite lively events. Many headphone fans as well as headphone, amp and DAC companies in attendance discussing various products, music, tweaks, etc.
Check the Head-Fi web site for meet ups in your area. Quite interesting and educational.

Edison B. have you been to the Audium? It's a Bay Area institution, like 40+ years of immersing folks in surround sounds...
So there's this thing at CCRMA in March:
MARCH MATTNESS - 'two evenings of immersive multimedia, electronic, acoustic, and electroacoustic music…Multichannel works by John Chowning, Ed Campion, and others'
Fri, 03/11/2016 - 7:30pm - 9:00pm
Sat, 03/12/2016 - 7:30pm - 9:00pm
FREE
Open to the Public
Details:

Wow, this looks amazing!
Unfortunately, I'll be out of the country, but I'd love to catch that sometime!

Good news: I talked to the instructor yesterday and he's on board. He asked that I send him an email request for a community event. Eventually, he will need specifics on how many plan to attend and what formats need to be played. They will, of course, want to use this event as a marketing opportunity, so there will probably be some photos taken (the studio is a "press area"). They may have waivers for you to sign. As far as food and drink go, I imagine a potluck format would be best (I don't think the company will spring for catering). As I mentioned, food and drink will not be permitted in the control room.
I'm genuinely really excited about this.

I could attend as early as April, but May would be better.

That's probably better for them; they have a huge project going on for a couple months.
This would be fantastic. No worries about no food and drink in the listening room, I think we can all respect the space.
