This wouldn't be too hard to organize, weather pending it could be outside! Or the backroom of a good pub? Anyone got any suggestions?

Flights are cheap!! :thumbup:
Not if you want to bring several acoustic guitars with you! :(

Still, I expect a full report and photos!
If you keep selling them to Dany, they'll all be down here waiting for you!!

Vegan sausages only though.

I don't own a pair of Birkenstocks, so I wouldn't fit in.

I think the acoustic idea opens up more venues for us, somewhere with beer would be great!

This is a briliant idea. We should do one in Auckland.
And not invite Grant.
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.

a) cows and sheep are vegans
b) as a (vegan) friend once put it, "if you think you can't put on weight on a vegan diet, I have two words for you 'peanut', 'butter'"

An acoustic gearfest would be so much fun. I don't think there'd be enough takers in Wellington though.
