Hey hey hey....there IS a choice. Waikato on tap, or craft Waikato in a bottle - 745mls of course.
The last time I went to the local we were part of a fancy dress party - Nerds themed. We noisily came crashing through the doors and everyone one in the bar was frozen, staring at us...I sobered up fast.
I'm not entirely serious as Good George has been known to set up a caravan serving their finest outside one of the pubs there, so the locals certainly aren't averse to pint or two of "the posh stuff".
But at the same time I've heard enough interesting stories about the pub on the corner closest to the river (Drake Hotel?) that are enough to stop me wanting to ever go in...

the Best Jolly Fest Ever will be on tomorrow.
I will be going for a few hours and will have some space left in the wagon.
If you are in West Auckland or want to come to my place to share a ride, let me know.
Planning to leave early-ish and back in Auckland by 5pm.

Gentlefolk...I will be in early-ish and out early-ish due to other family centric commitments.
Old Fender not ready
53 year old rosewood is a challenging thing to work with!
I should bring the V too.

Also, bring a multi box and extension lead.
There's a few power points around. But they are all grouped

I'm out as well unfortunately. Extended family bullshit as well. Much rather perv at some tasty gear than have pretentious aunts look down their noses at me, but can't escape it this time. Balls.
