Auckland / Southland gearfest
I will be going back to look after the folks in the uk, shortly, not sure when.
So a gearfest a bit closer than the auckland/shore thing in november 2029, I'm hoping for aug 21 and aug 22, will be in ellerslie if I can get the place. Or nearby anyway.
Good news for Slowy, he can slope off to Doolans for a kilkenny, or a pint of Boddingtons.

So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Hope all's well. Will it be long-term?
My dad's 92 now. Being miserable is what gets him through the day.

Ah. All worrisome for sure. I had siblings (well, one - the rest were fucking useless) on-hand which helped.

Sorry to hear about the whanau. Will try and attend in August. Happens to be just after my next exam so timing is pretty good.

I might be busing down to Auckland earlier that week, but if I have a car I'll bring a 1960 CS reissue Strat, Whitfill T, maybe a Partscaster Radian Tele with P90s and a Taylor Built-To-Order Grand Auditorium.

S'Ok. I'll drive myself this time so I don't have to keep tabs on my ride home.
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.

Re: Auckland / Southland gearfest
I'm actually not sure if I feel up to this or not, its sort of hit me really hard today the reality of everything. Might leave it until the northland fest...

Re: Auckland / Southland gearfest
Fair enough! Alternatively, it might be a good distraction and boost for your mood. Take a few days to think it over. Not that you need my permission to do so.

Re: Auckland / Southland gearfest
thats what I was thinking to begin with, earliest I can fly is 26th. And it will distract me from overdrinking things.

Re: Auckland / Southland gearfest
Sorry to hear this BG hope all goes well, being that far away must make it stressful. I know how this feels, had couple of bad falls with Dad but he has bounced back.
