17th is good.
Usually held at a church hall in bishopdale area.

Yep, will talk to Dave on monday about booking it:

-St Johns Church
-Cnr of Kingrove Street and Cotswold Ave in Bishopdale (head down Harewood Road toward airport, turn right at playground where there is a big grey elephant slide) That's Cotswold Ave ... then Kingrove is about 100m up on the left.

Can i come along and listen? I am still embarrassingly unable to string together (haha) a tune. Also it'd be interesting he hear my guitar played well and get some feedback (haha) about how it's set up. Or not set up.

Totally man! The first one I went to I could barely play, and had a laptop running guitar rig for my amp... can still barely play, but got heaps of cool gear to make up for it

Perfect, just up the road from me. What's the deal, do most people rock up with an amp and guitar or do people bring stuff they're looking to swap or trade? Sorry for all the noob questions lol.

Most people bring an amp or two, and a few guitars and pedal boards.
If you have pedals etc that you want to trade, it can't hurt to bring them along in case someone wants to try one. You might get a sale out of it, but it's not really a 'swap meet' type thing

Generally every one brings gear they don't mind other people trying out. So if you have something that you wouldn't be happy with others trying, either leave it at home or make sure you keep it in a case when you aren't playing it.

And it doesn't seem to be much of a jam thing either. At least there hasn't been any in the couple I've been to. It's just a chin-wag and gear try-out.

I think last time we tried to have a jam it ended up becoming the worlds worst version of hotel California. Lots of diverse musical taste in the team means it's hard to settle on a song. I would recommend bringing ear plugs. The plexis going to 11.

Sounds good! I'll bring ear plugs; I hate loud places
