Looks like a good one boys! Any pics on the beersies? Going by some of those pedalboards and stacks, there was some hoppy rare boutique brews going down

Chur and Nice one.

No Drugs
No Alcohol
No Food
No Littering

It was the littering one that made me really angry!

[dayl]

Ouch!

Early finish and beer spot 500m away

The beers were good and hoppy for sure

Cheers to Rob for organising, good to meet some new faces and catch up with the usual suspects.

Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

I wouldn’t care but I even sorted the forum sound meter ready for the occasion!

No doubt there were a few dBs being pumped out.

I managed a good half hour but it was starting to get loud….
Have some random pics

How did you make Ants and Rob look like cardboard cutouts?

It's our lack of personalities.

Bummed I couldn’t make it- the goblins well and truly got the better of me.

That was a superb way to spend a Sunday!

Always a pleasure to see our Whangarei brothers; Ants and Rob are life enhancing company.
jhyang549 and wavesofffear are new faces who proved to be most excellent chaps. Welcome, both of you.

Passing impressions:
Watching wavesofffear and blackstratblues geeking out over the effect of voltage on the tone of ludicrously powerful Marshalls.
Warren, I think you've found a wingman.

Pretty much everything in strummersofthunder's rig was blatantly stolen from God himself.

Robthemac's pink Strat...OMG it's good. But there was also wavesofffear's Mary Kaye.. that was brilliant too. And it wasn't pink.

I'm used to my little Jansen being well regarded but blackstratblues made it sound weak and feeble. Warren, that's a compliment to the sheer power of your style.

RobRoyMcCoy, Jimi and Bg: Once again, that jam didn't happen but I'm really keen to do it. (Yeah, I know that's not the impression I give). We need to find a suitable day.

And to everyone I haven't mentioned, it was great to spend time with you.

You were missed.
Did you make it to band practice?
