Likewise man!

What's tronfest? Keen to go though O.o

Varies from perspective, mine is sitting outside on the little wall out by the road with beer listening for moments of a certain JMI AC30 breaking rank from the background sonic soup

My wagon needs work but it's the busted 35 yr old lawnmower that's getting the attention and a blues picnic in there too. May or may not make it.

Tronfest is where you stuff your back (and curse the day that you ever thought that a 4x12 cab was ever a good idea) loading your car up with all of the gear you've carefully aquired over however long you've been playing and are very happy with, take it down to Da Capo Music Centre (where you don't wreck your back as much because there are always some friendly forumites ready to share the load), set it up (only to find that you forgot your speaker cable/power cord/multi plug/guitar lead), play around on other people's gear (which is always 10x better than yours), talk crap about gear, hear other people play around on your gear (and sound 10x better than when you do), talk crap about gear, eat cold sausages, drink warm fizzy, talk crap about gear, marvel at the sheer earthshaking volume and power of whatever Tonemaker and Higainer have brought (though the former has sodded off back to the States so it will be up to the latter to bring the noise this time), talk crap about gear, speak in hushed tones in Unique's Room of Boutique as you mentally calculate that the gear there in is worth more than your car/house/first born child, talk crap about gear, wreck your back putting all of your gear (that now seems as completely inadequate and suckful as your pitiful playing skills) back in your car, go home and discover that you've left your speaker cable/power cord/multi-plug/guitar lead back at Da Capo, wreck your back unloading your gear (which you just chuck straight into your gear space without setting up again because you can't be stuffed), then go straight onto the forum to talk crap about the day you spent talking crap about gear and checking to see if anyone has posted any pictures yet, followed by an intense search of Trademe/Rock Shop site for whatever you heard/tried that ignited your GAS monster.
