Nobody seemed to have a problem with my lack of deodorant at the last gearfest. I reckon deodorant is just one of those things marketing companies have convinced us we need. It was making me itch so I stopped using it. I shower every day, and I can't tell the difference. I wonder if it really even does anything.

Looks that way.

Everyone sweet with Eclipse or do we want to give STL in victoria street a try?

The parking isn't as good but as long as we help each other out with loading in it should be cool.

As a plus side of using STL I might be able to sort a stack of TC Electronics stuff to demo.

STL Audio is the old Marmalade recording studio in the same building that I work in. It also has a rehearsal space and the guy who runs it is a rep for TC Electronic among other things.

Oh right yeah, I used to have that guys card. That could be cool eh, apart from the parking, which won't be so cool.

"A" rehearsal space..? How big is it, considering that we fill out two rooms at Eclipse? :?

I like Victoria St because I live around the corner and won't have to steal a car to get there. :)

It's bigger than one of the rooms at Eclipse. We might be able to get the whole floor if he's feeling generous- that'd be about double the space of Eclipse.

If it happens at STL, do NOT park your car under the trees. Instant death by birdshit. :?

Just finding out price and availability of STL. If it's too much we'll go with Eclipse.
