Long overdue, but a great day!
Good to touch base with some that I have never met before.

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.

I know some were keen to donate at the fest, but as my visit was literally a flying one, feel free to put a coffee or two into the coffers via the usual channels always very much appreciated!
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Great way to spend a Sat.

Awesome fun.
Seriously cool to see an AxeFX III, even if I couldn't hear what I was playing, hehe. I loved hacksaws SG too, killer guitar that.
Benders rig was incredible, enjoyed hearing slowys amp too.
Just in general good to catch up with some good people.

Yeah that was very cool, but then I went to turn it up and went "um.... how the fuck do I turn this up?".Zaulkin wrote:

To avoid looking like my dad trying to program the VCR to record, I just handed the guitar back
Was a fun day, also glad a couple of us were outside having an ear rest when the tow truck turned up!
