I was on the Moog site, looking for some new rubber feet for my Minifooger Delay (a badass analog pedal for not a lot of $$ if you're looking, BTW), and came across this link:

I have a couple of synth-head friends who have told me about MoogFest from a musician and lecture standpoint, but this is something totally different. Over the course of 2 days you build a synth/sequencer. $1500 is not anything to sneeze at, but for 2 days with Moog engineering it seems like it would be worth it. Being able to pick those folks brains in a small classroom setting would be more valuable than what you build.
I can't go this year, but it's something I'll look into next year as this would be a great bucket list tpye activity.

not cheap but I'm sure it's worth every penny to have a chance to learn from those guys.
I can't even afford getting pcb's fabbed, let alone a travel ticket to the States, and then the entry fee on top of that!
You Americans are so lucky with all your fests, cons, meet-ups, and all the rest.
I'll help pay for you to get boards fabbed Alan. Your stuff is awesome.

yeah, me too.
Especially the Biphase.
Me three! Im down with paying for some proto costs if it reserves a spot on the final list :)
That's cool. I did the factory tour at the Moog headquarters this past October. Definitely a cool experience. Was really cool seeing their stock of components and all of their gear like the system 55's and 35's being built up.
