A penny for your thoughts?

Looks like a great fest! Nice to see.
A sure cure for seasickness is to sit under a tree.

I have way more but thought this was enough to capture the spirit. Now wait till those videos are up, you'll see some awesome action from da boys. Sound quality not great but is the looks that count eh?

If anyone who appears in any of the videos I am putting up is not happy about being "in the public domain", let me know and I will remove it.
Slowly uploading.... Counting...
This is what Slowy is referring to:
Pity the boys didn't crank it, or did they

Great get together guys, sorry I had to scoot early, and sorry if I didn't get to say hi to everyone.
Thanks for the effort organizing this rob, and good work Jay for the the photo journalism
Slowy's 'little Jansen that could' was my highlight. That amp has some sort of magical clean compression. Worked well with the jag.
Jays DIY Gretsch style hollow body was great, and cool to hear Rob doing his hollowbody jazzbox thing with this and Jays Yamaha.
Rob's pink strat was pink and a strat

Thanks, everyone, for making the effort and being so generous with your gear. Nice to put some names to avatars.
I certainly had some contenders for 'Best In Show' awards:
Bruce's little Jansen that could.
Ant's blue Fender (non-Strat).
Jay's Princeton
My main takeaway was that there is an incredible amount of excellent gear in this group. And a reasonable bunch of blokes.

Oh and if anyone wanted to chuck $10 into 12-3015-0622623-00 they'd be welcome to. Didn't keep track of who gave me cash. BG can consider his brief attendance a forum donation.

Thanks for documenting it all Jay! Really captured the giddy delight of a cranked plexi
Thanks to blackstratblues for putting his speakers on the line (and having excellent taste), and to Rob for putting this whole thing together!
Apologies to the sophisticated jazzbos in the front room for the hijack...
It was a real pleasure to meet everyone and their gear. I'll be back... just gotta accumulate some more gear!

No, that's wrong. It wasn't that quiet; not even close.
The rest of us still have earwax on our fingers.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Very true. The camera obviously has a good compressor. Listen to how the noise floor rises when we start talking!

Just kidding, I think we all covered our ears except for those two in the video...
