Sadly not :-/

Hmm, lemme think about this re: my schedule, movements there, etc, etc.
I'm flying out of SFO on Thursday lunchtime, returning early Monday.

Here are two offers: if someone can take me to the airport (perhaps in
my car; this might be easier for whoever) and then garage/park my car
'til Monday morning (ideally including pickup from SFO) I'll bring the
speakers up with me on Thursday & deliver them wherever. I could come up
Wednesday night. You will get speakers, amp, bag of electronic repair
stuff, cables, 1KW generator, marine battery, charger, inverter.

If that doesn't work as an option, someone'll have to pick them up, and
I'd have to give my landlady heads up there. This, option two, will
involve 8hrs of driving (2 x 2 x 2hr).

(Option three of course is to have it another weekend :-)

Option four is ... ?

NB: I absolutely hate driving/parking in SF (normal mode of transport is
    Jessie, a 600cc two-wheeled urban eel) and taking speakers 'n stuff
    to BM this year was a *major hassle* for me. I don't like to sound
    like a mercenary but if this goes ahead I don't want to incur any
    financial cost and absolutely minimal stress.

Nominally yes, unless someone volunteers to house them.

Not sure that StevePi is on the list, but part of the speaker system
bounty is yup, a 1KW generator & marine battery should you need it :-)
