The room was $120 for the day. They actually had a second room held for us too but I'm not sure if we got charged for it. If we book it in we should try to nail down the drummer for the whole afternoon. He was awesome.

+1 that guy was the bomb. I'm sure that aslong as there is a drumkit there then we'd be sorted? I know I sure had fun pretending to be able to play drums (But atleast I'm better than Lars Ulrich *SNAP*) :lol:

But yes lets get a definite confirmation of numbers. I for one, will be there.

FWIW, the last few gearfests at The Manor, we've had two rooms set up. One for jamming and the other for show and tell. Seems to work pretty well so that those who may not want to play, but would like the chance to try gear out are looked after.

Hurdy Gurdy.... some how... and I'm not entirely certain how mind you, an instrument that sounds like someone has shoved a nest of angry hornets into a goose with a kazoo bill and is randomly slapping the poor creature with an accordion.... Sounds amazing.

It's in Petone right next to the train station, on Jackson street. But Wellington city is like.. 5-10 minutes drive away?
