Re: Christchurch Gearfest - 17th May 2014
Giving the Mrs an extra hour in bed whilst I sit with the kids watching Maisy Mouse (terrible...) then off for my compulsory exercise (via the cafe), turf the kids' seats out of the car, load it up and off I go! Hurrah! A whole day to myself. Those of you without kids won't appreciate what a rarity that is.jeremyb wrote:Kids to soccer, then bath them, cook lunch, drive to gearfest, amps on 11, shit talking on 12, bliss
May go via Rockshop and buy a Telecaster....

Re: Christchurch Gearfest - 17th May 2014
ain't that the truth.....the gearfest is pretty much the only adult contact I have outside of the wife (work by myself so have very little contact with other human beings as they are all at work when I am at there houses)Molly wrote:Those of you without kids won't appreciate what a rarity that is.
thankfully I'm still sane, well are you...who said that

I'm practising my lines right now "Man, that really cuts thru the mix"... "it's like you've taken the blanket off that amp"... "are those NOS?"... "808 VS TS9?" realistically we'll end up talking about diddles and then Dave will show us his.

Great gearfest guys! Lots of people and stuff! Andy's Marshall sounded awesome as per usual, JB's 5120's new pickups were sweet and instantly made me regret selling mine, Mark's Mesa, Awesome, especially with my Strat running through it!, it made my guitar sound more 'stratty' than a strat! I've never played Corey's Ash before and now that I have, i've fallen in love a little bit, Reg's pedal board set up was awesome, loving the POG, want one now..... aarrrgggghhhh! too much cool stuff!
Many thanks to JB and NZRS-Dave for organizing! And thanks to Epic beers for the tasty brews.
