Happy... in a way. I had a couple of conversations with the owner, he was a bit odd. Nice enough, but odd.

Long overdue, but a great day!
Good to touch base with some that I have never met before.
My ears are still ringing - I forgot to take my ear plugs.

JVPP is really on to something with this strange looking and great sounding neck pickup. Got thumbs up from Spank to Djent.

Some good photos from Slowie and Bender. Need to know what camera they use as my phone photos ain't no good by any standard.

I know some were keen to donate at the fest, but as my visit was literally a flying one, feel free to put a coffee or two into the coffers via the usual channels :) always very much appreciated!

Yeah! Thank you so much for helping me set that up! Stereo radness is definitely something I need more of

Awesome fun.

Seriously cool to see an AxeFX III, even if I couldn't hear what I was playing, hehe. I loved hacksaws SG too, killer guitar that.

Benders rig was incredible, enjoyed hearing slowys amp too.

Just in general good to catch up with some good people.

Yeah that was very cool, but then I went to turn it up and went "um.... how the fuck do I turn this up?".

To avoid looking like my dad trying to program the VCR to record, I just handed the guitar back :D

Was a fun day, also glad a couple of us were outside having an ear rest when the tow truck turned up!
