I'll come, corban's arts center sounds like a good idea to me. plenty of spaces there and noise won't be an issue.

Central as, decent parking, and plenty of room.

Don't know why I'm chipping in though cos I probably wont be able to come unless you have the Auckland fest in Hamilton! :lol: (it's actually a bit of an Aucklandfest already)
I want to do this one, its got a stage and dressing rooms - obviously I'll have the biggest one with the star on the door. More importantly, the kitchen has a pie warmer :)

no, you're just expected to show your gear. Plugging it in is verboten.
