Ooooh what is it????
It’s the 18watt EL84 amp I posted about a couple of weeks ago.
It’s somewhere between a Marshall and a Vox with an EF86 preamp
Sounds a lot like the ex-Toany Ryan-amp Molly & I used to own!! You should try my sweet baby pedal into it, hotrod marshall toans!!

Yeah church has been canceled while we are in level 2 due to 100 people or more gatherings. I’ll wait and see what announcements happen today but no changes with gearfest yet. Fingers crossed.

Never even thought about that. Hopefully we can keep Gearfest attendees under 100. So, no bringing your bloody kids or pet dog folks.

I expect my cyclocross race on sunday will be cancelled, can't see them stopping level 2 tonight!

I'm due to drive up to Christchurch tomorrow. Hopefully things won't escalate to the point where I no longer can. Got saddlebags and an amp to collect.

In the interest of full disclosure I too have full Lycra cycling kit, but that's purely for sexual reasons.

I think the Tronfest died of Covid before covid was a thing

We're all just being responsible - chch are clearly unconcerned about community outbreaks.

Thats ok, we don't give a fuck about earthquakes. Maybe Wellington does, but thats not in Auckland so why should we care :)
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

We couldn't find a venue with an on-site barista so we gave up.
