Auckland Gearfest anyone?
Torbay Community Hall is not available on the 18th and is only available after 3pm on a Saturday. I can try for Sunday 19th possibly if there is love for Sunday? Costs $15 per hour so we should be able to easily cover costs for 4hrs odd. Say $5 each with the surplus to the forum site?

Re: Auckland Gearfest anyone?
I looked up Torbay on the map... looks like its closer than going to a Tronfest, but only just! 
18th sounds good to me. Not fussed where it is, my car is fun to drive, so the further the better really.

Unlikely for me....but will keep it in diary in case anything changes.

Humpf. It's closer to me than you are. And it's way closer than Hamilton...no wait; you never made it did you.benderissimo wrote:I think Torbay is too far personally. Any possible alternatives?
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: Auckland Gearfest anyone?
Noob question time :
Is a gearfest just turn up with all your shit and show off a bit?
Also, +1 for Torbay on the 19th cuz I can do it. I think. We're talking about August, right? When are we finishing up?

Re: Auckland Gearfest anyone?
OK I've got some dates and availability for Corban Estate Arts Centre.
I've pencil booked them pending herding you cats into coming to some consensus. (My god, just the thought of that gives me a headache )
First, the venue.
http://www.ceac.org.nz/venue_hire.aspx
The best space to base things around is the old winery cellar and shop. It's fairly underground so it shouldn't cause problems with sound. The old bar/counter is still there. The room kind of dog-legs around a corner.
Attached to this is a small theatrette. Through a door and down a gentle set of stairs to a stage where some amps and stuff could be set up. This gives us two areas. The theatrette has a doorway out to the rear car-park which is best suited for load in and out.
The cost for these two spaces is $15/Hr. Cheap!
Next to the Cellar building is the old family homestead which has another room available and a large covered verandah. It's separate but close enough to the side door of the theatrette and means we could have a third space for people to spread out too and if the weather is shit, we can still have a bbq on the verandah.
This space is also $15/Hr
There's heaps of parking around the grounds and some interesting features if you want to go for a romantic stroll or get a taste of westie history.
The available dates are as follows.
Sunday 5th August. Cellar/Theatre and Lower Homestead space if we want it.
Sat 11th August. Cellar/Theatre
Sunday 19th August. Cellar/Theatre
So time to decide, would you like it here? Which date is best for most? Are you happy with the cost?
OK cats, start herding.
