I know a few of us are keen for another Welly gearfest, June sometime perhaps?

Yes. A Saturday would be so much better for me though.

I'm quite keen to investigate another venue too. Nothing wrong with Eclipse but it'd be good to find somewhere a tad bigger. If we have no joy, Eclipse is still an option. I'm happy with a Saturday or a Sunday but would prefer whichever gets the best turnout.

If you make it a Saturday in June, I'll fly down...

Yeah good idea.

Is STL an option Ben?

a saturday would be better for me too, and a bigger venue would be sweet. just gotta find someplace with soundproof walls

STL should be sweet but access/parking isn't quite as good being in town. It's bigger and cheaper though.

Yeah parking there is a bitch. Pay & display (yeah right..) are there any rehearsal spaces around that could be used?

we can always hire another hall.

the college hall near my house is the size of a basketball court, i believe they only charge somewhere in the region of $50 for 4-5 hours.

Oh, might be able to make this one, just depends what date..might be going home in June...

Nah, who needs to go home when you can have a gearfest?

I'm in.

I dunno about STL though, the metal band I'm jamming with jams there and I had a helluva time finding it...

At least Eclipse has a big fat sign. A hall sounds interesting.

I think Eclipse works well. It's good having two rooms, because at least there's some seperation. Most of the time these tend to be volume battles, and as manic as it is, it'd be even worse if ALL the amps were in the same room. Plus there's the drum kit sometimes, and parking is easy. I say stick with Eclipse.

I'll be keen. Never been to a NZguitar gearfest before.
