I don't blame ya. I brought along a really nice Taylor acoustic to a Gearfest in Auckland and BG wanted to use it to start a bonfire. There was ABSOLUTELY NO WAY anyone could have heard it anyway.
We have a disclipined, inclusive and cohesive team here in Chch

We even exercise tolerance with Ovations and Steinbergers.

Don't forget it's also a chance to crank your amp

Ok, since we tolerate non-rock/doom gear I will look at bringing the hippie Princeton-ish amp and my meagre pedal board. Guitars wise the only things I have worth bringing to a gearfest are probably the SSL1+5 Strat and PRS S2. If I really pull all my fingers out I may get around to assembling that Surfybear kit.

As to playing in public? Yeh naaaah... have only ever done that 3 times in my entire life, at the high risk of sphincter implosion. Unlikely to happen again in a huge rush.

Definitely no tackle in public, no matter what the venue was once...

We have a vict...volunteer! YAY!

Are you happy with "Last Dance (with Mary Jane)"? Anything else you feel an urge to wrap your tonsils around?

Any requests for songs to play? It's a gearfest so the ubiquitous Bluesinay may show up, but if we get enough requests we may avoid it and it's cousin Bluesinee.

We have a drummer as well as a bassist so let the good times roll!
