Tronfest is where you stuff your back (and curse the day that you ever thought that a 4x12 cab was ever a good idea) loading your car up with all of the gear you've carefully aquired over however long you've been playing and are very happy with, take it down to Da Capo Music Centre (where you don't wreck your back as much because there are always some friendly forumites ready to share the load), set it up (only to find that you forgot your speaker cable/power cord/multi plug/guitar lead), play around on other people's gear (which is always 10x better than yours), talk crap about gear, hear other people play around on your gear (and sound 10x better than when you do), talk crap about gear, eat cold sausages, drink warm fizzy, talk crap about gear, marvel at the sheer earthshaking volume and power of whatever Tonemaker and Higainer have brought (though the former has sodded off back to the States so it will be up to the latter to bring the noise this time), talk crap about gear, speak in hushed tones in Unique's Room of Boutique as you mentally calculate that the gear there in is worth more than your car/house/first born child, talk crap about gear, wreck your back putting all of your gear (that now seems as completely inadequate and suckful as your pitiful playing skills) back in your car, go home and discover that you've left your speaker cable/power cord/multi-plug/guitar lead back at Da Capo, wreck your back unloading your gear (which you just chuck straight into your gear space without setting up again because you can't be stuffed), then go straight onto the forum to talk crap about the day you spent talking crap about gear and checking to see if anyone has posted any pictures yet, followed by an intense search of Trademe/Rock Shop site for whatever you heard/tried that ignited your GAS monster.
bit disappointed no mention of my supreme sausage cooking skills matt ...... ...... .....yes its about me...oh and BG
If Less is More Then Just Think How Much More More would be
Hey, but the food is always hot, drinks cold....no more cupcakes.... Maybe one day... Someone should set up 3 4-12 cabs and play with some settings I got.. I have modulated delay times for Evh, Aldrich and Joe Homes, should be a massive sound... I've not got to try it just yet...

Ah...but I also forgot too mention that I'm always the last one to arrive (usually just about the time everyone is starting to pack up) which is why said supremely cooked by Willow sausages are always either gone or stone cold by the time I get there

Will be the last one we have at da capo, as Wayne and drew won't be renewing the lease in may.
Costs more to lease than it returns, so fair enough.
I suggest bring a donation regardless of how long you are staying on Saturday to gift what ever is over the cost of the days hirage to Wayne as a thank you.

I'm keen to drive down from Auckland. Plenty of spare seats (though not a huge amount of spare boot space). Anyone want a lift down? or alternatively happy to pitch in on gas if someone wants a passenger.

Could be keen- just got to check a few things out.

Well, HiGainer and I tried to and did rent it out as much as possible, there will always be great times remembered at that place jamming till 11,12pm a few times... Just a plug for Wayne, that place is great to go jam with a few mates anytime, climate controlled, quite large, extra rooms.. It will be ashame if they do not release it, the price per hour was fantastic..
