I just popped into to say hi to lawrence and the others real quick. Have to go to a sound check in a few minutes.

Rest assured the size of the amps was exceeded only by the pointiness of the reverse headstocks.

Was a cool day. Lots of new gear to be played with too!
I'm so glad you got a picture of Kris on the strat. I think we need to get Kris' avatar change to that.

Yet again, thanks heaps Lawrence for sorting out the room for us. It was really great.
Ummm....

Great to meet you all and many thanks to Lawrence and everyone for organising a great venue, perfect size for the number of us.

It was great to gawp at all the gear and play a little of it, even if self consciousness kept things down a little.

I am now:

a) GASing for a Marshall 4x12 on wheels, they look ace.
b) So happy I saw Kris's Moser in the flesh, man that looks brilliant if massively intimidating given all it's switched and dials.
c) Getting interested in some pointy goodness
d) Wanting to try out some Jacksons and ESPs next time, they looked interesting.

(I'll also practice some tunes for next time ;) )

Ahh, I just got back. Great to catch up with all the fellas I know, and also great to meet those that I didn't! Terexgeek should be along soon with more pictures.

Kris, sell your Moser and buy a Strat. HAHAH.
