OK, last minute update.

It's facking cold in Hamilton presently. Dress warmly. Shredding will be near impossible. Upside, fingers torn off when unloading heavy gear will not hurt for some time.

If the door to the room is locked text me on 021 525 722 and I'll come open it. It's a secure room due to the vagrants and randoms (i.e. musicians) that hand around that block.

There will be two main rooms - one is sound proofed and all the quads etc should go in there so they can fight each other to see who can melt time and space first. The other room will be for the gentrified, pipe smoking, cravat wearing gentlemen with smaller pieces!

In anytime after 10:30am...packing up starts at 4pm or whenever you've had enough.

There will be no sausages and bread as I don't have the time, but there is a café and BP across the road....or BYO food. Consumption needs to be outside in any case.

Those heading back north, or anyone else for that matter, I extend an invitation to meet at the Cock N Bull Te Rapa for a quick pint at 5pm. It's at- 1 Corner Maui And Church St, Hamilton.

See you tomorrow.

I'll bring the Suhr T too then, and it's the 650D you've probably seen pop up occasionally. Been at Keith's for the past week getting optimised. Fret crowning, setup and cleanup of the electrics etc (wanted to play it in its best condition). But that neck is laaaarge! Well, relative to a Fender at least...

My favourite!
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.
