Its ok, as stated above, I'll probably be pre-op, post-op or just too deaf to come anyway :(
As predicted, I'll be too deaf too come anyway, no point in just standing around saying 'eh?' to everyone. Two new ear infections this week, yay for me!

Oh and I'll be going to the opera in the evening to not hear that as well.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

That's a bugger BG. I was counting on you to peel the grapes and serve the cocktails on the trip down.

Have to see if Slowy is keen to don the hostess outfit instead!

She does indeed :) Though technically she is a mezzo-soprano. But I'm sure she will satisfy in her carmen costume. Her voice is superb, only hoping I can hear enough of it. But as consolations go...

I hope to be there but it's looking like the usual family dramas might keep my gearfest curse streak alive. Wife just got discharged from hospital yesterday but our gp says she shouldn't have been. My attendance will depend on how she's doing and whether I can drop my kids at my mum's

exciting.

i'm planning on bringing a Kemper with 1x12, Jackson Ampworks Britain 30 with 2x12 and my spaceship pedalboard.
And maybe even the Boss MS-3 with the iconoclast so people can headphones the unit. :clap:

I'll probably only bring my 2 duesenbergs and 1 other guitar - just to save a bit of space in the room.

Looks like I'm in (barring any unforeseen work clusterfucks). Any requests out of the following?

Surf Green 60s Lacquer Jazzmaster
'63 Gretsch Corvette
'63 Gretsch Anniversary
'73 Tele Custom

I'll be bringing the Bandmaster and Reverb unit as well as my Quilter mini head.
