I should make you some sort of quick tag thing, you could post your stuff in your sig, updating every hour, and you could use [mystuff] in a post and it would grab the sig post...

oh never mind, its easy from my end, but an administrative nightmare from your end without a barcode reader scanning your deliveries in and out.

Just say you'll be bringing stuff and nonsense.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Its not about gear changing, its about motivation and having a chat with people from here - usually they provide the motivation in real life :)

Never ever feel obliged to take gear! or bring gear or brought gear etc

Good point, the talking will probably be really good. Also lots of tones. I don't actually know anyone who plays anything in real life so i have none of that interaction to keep me interested; I really do need to come along and get inspired by people enjoying playing. Thanks :D

Hey Reg! What will be the rule with our choice of libations at your church? No alcohol? A quiet drink? 12 pack of codys, getting slain in the spirit?
All good whatever the rules are.

Good question, I never actually asked those things.
At a guess though I’d say probably no alcohol but I’ll ask anyway.

It is absolutely fine if no alcohol is the rule. I kind of feel bad that this is a question you might ask. Shall we just make the rule none?

Yeah I think let’s just make the rule no alcohol, I got the impression I was already pulling some favours so don’t want to push it.

They haven’t asked for a donation but I guess it wouldn’t hurt as a kind gesture.
