This gives the right of a couple of amps, at half volume should 'Proud Mary' arouse...
Proud Mary never arouses.
Quite the opposite in my experience
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

I'll be there if I'm not working. Which I probably will be. But if not...

I'm in!!!

I will bring a Gretsch or 2, a Duesenberg with Goldfoils, a non-threatening Bogner, and a manky old Martin. Can also add a Blonde Fender Bassman clone if anyone is interested.

If Strummers makes it too, we may have to play a bit of surf music.

I will bring duck eggs, the sound of them being cracked open for an omelet is mind blowing :)
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Excellent idea. Gimme a couple weeks notice and I can take a weekend day off.
Superbness hasn't seen the light of day for while.

:edit: Hahahah I love how autocorrect changed Superbass to superbness. Which really is as apt as you can get.

That reads like it does arouse, I meant it makes everything flaccid. 'Flaccid Mary'

Pretty keen on a fest, especially if there’s a chance to crank the AFD.

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes. Autocorrect is not wrong.
Yes, M'Lady.

I could possibly make it depending on kid situation and whether I am or am not losing my job at that time (read: drunk).

I don't really have much to offer, and I'm currently running down dusty gremlins in my kit, although I can bring an AC15 anniversary handwired, a 2 x 12 pine cab with UK blues, and an AC15cc to give the stereo experience if they're of any interest. I've also got an AC4 head and a TB35 twin that will both be on the chopping block very soon. Happy to bring them if anyone is curious to hear them. Yeah, VOX........

Can also bring a couple of guitars in various states of set-up. Why does shit start to crackle and buzz when you have the opportunity to share it with others?
Yes, M'Lady.

Form an agency with the other guys from your team and bill double. ;-)

Yeah, fortunately I've been given a forum to explain why their decision is flawed. Everything will be fine /s
Yes, M'Lady.
