We've had a gearfest stocked with Kilkenny FFS, we don't need Lion or DB sponsored venue's piss-weak dribblings.Bg wrote:One question... is your fest in a pub.kdawg2a wrote:I gotta say, i'm still not convinced of Aucklands prowess here.

Ha 99% of that is "journalists" looking for clickbait scores, most of us Jafas read that shit and slap our foreheads.Terexgeek wrote: Aucklanders: a handle full of snowflakes and it's news-worthy, a 2.0 "earthquake" and it's news-worthy, frost and it's news-worthy, stop trying to make Auckland great again.

What's the concept here? BYO gear along for show and tell?
I have a small pile of custom built tube amps I might be interesting in bringing for wider hoonage

Re: Auckland greatest gearfest - October 6th dogs bollix
Pretty much that. There is usually a show and tell session for everyone to talk through what they've brought along, the rest of the time is spent trying to talk to other forumites over the steadily increasing volume of the louder amplifiers in the room.Optical wrote:What's the concept here?

I didn’t get to do the show and tell thing at the last ‘fest I went to. Should be fun.

Re: Auckland greatest gearfest - October 6th dogs bollix
In Remuera perhaps. Over in West Auckland, a couple of cans of Diesel were nearly spilled, but only nearly. Your average Westie could fall off a high rise building and land without spilling a drop.Terexgeek wrote:Not a latte slop then.Bg wrote:You mean the great earthquake of 2011?

Re: Auckland greatest gearfest - October 6th dogs bollix
yeah, but who cares about west auckland? The epicentre was mission bay, we felt the whole shake here in the grammar school zone. There were palpitations about Porsche Cayennes! Would they survive the school run!
