Auckland / Northland Gearfest: 14th August 2022

[Slowy]

Managed to fit everything in the car, except the case for my Taylor. Wrapped in a blanket, sharing a front seat with two other guitars.

Forgot to bring any stands. Anyone able to bring a Hercules or two?

You know theres a cab here for you too

Fuck. That's going to be a struggle. Will work something else out.

Rob, I'll bring a second guitar rack if that's what you're after? Holds 5.

These two are ready:



Going to be a squeeze with my tiny car, but should be able to swing it!

I reckon I can bring one of those too. Will need 2 spots, but that leaves 3 free.

Oh boy those two Marshall’s look glorious, especially that red one phwoar

If you can find it, could you also bring my talent? I seem to have misplaced it somewhere.

I had a quick shufty, I reckon its down the back of the sofa. Found Jesus there.

Anybody’s talent is going to be missing in action after 6 cans of Kilkenny

Is there a security code for opening the door or will there be a doorman?

I think the dogging/swingers thread is that way --->

There was a receptionist the other night when I was there.

I will also say - its not fucking easy to spot. You will probably drive past twice before you find it. There is not a huge sign on the roadway. Just get there with google maps, get out of the car and have a walk around lol.

[blackstratblues]

How far is the walk from the car to load-in? Possible to drive close to the entry before parking?

Yeah you can get pretty much right outside to load in, best to park on the street afterwards, not sure what towing restrictions there are - they didn't seem to have their own dedicated parking bays. Might be different in daylight.

Had a dream about gearfest last night. The venue turned out to be the little demo room in the back of the K Rd Rockshop. About five people showed up, and one was my mom. Other than my Strat and Mesa, all the gear there was Ashton guitars and Marshall MG-10 amps. People wanted to play Sultans of Swing, but didn't know any chords so just played the intro (Dm only).

So yeah. Looking forward to it.
