One question... is your fest in a pub.
We've had a gearfest stocked with Kilkenny FFS, we don't need Lion or DB sponsored venue's piss-weak dribblings.

We also have regular meets for beersies at a craft brew pub.

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.
Tin arse!!

Ha 99% of that is "journalists" looking for clickbait scores, most of us Jafas read that shit and slap our foreheads.

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.

You mean the great earthquake of 2011? That was actually a 2.9 and I nearly spilt my glass of sauv blanc!

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.

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!
