East Anglia GearFest SAT 14 SEPT **2013**

Bidley

Typically, I have a gig this Saturday now. Incredibly annoying as I wanted to meet you guys!

Phil_aka_Pip

Play the gig by remote control from the Magpie! on 2nd thoughts the "broadband" around here isn't much better than dialup so get a dep for the gig and come here anyway;)

ESBlonde

I could bring a Koo Stick for 'All along the watchtower'.

That nice percussive chord sequence under all those electric guitars.

Hi fellas, I'm hoping to come to this. (I actually live opposite Phil!) I have a wedding to play guitar at in the morning and then the reception to make by 7:30pm. I'm desperately hoping to make this get together in the afternoon between the 2 events. (should be ok as I live only about 3 miles away)  Assuming I can make it i will have plenty of goodies to bring along, including approx 10 of my handbuilt pedals for anyone to have a go on including boutique drives, vibes, delays etc. also some nice guitars and amps.

So...what time will people be there?

Phil and I are aiming to get there between 2.30 - 3.00 to open up and start the set up.

monquixote

I've floated the idea with the good lady. 

I shall see if and what time I get a pass from and too. 

I've already been out on the razzle twice this week so it will take some diplomacy. 

ESBlonde

Pah, the arranged drummist has gone all catholic and pulled out for family reasons.

I am back on the case and will post news as it comes in.

Watch this space.....

Are you still watching?

TTony

Watching.

Just doing a roll-call, making sure no-one forgets 

We have use of the pub from early afternoon (2.30-3.00) until early morning (01.00) with food and drink available.  Plenty of car parking and the pub is right on the A140, with a great big sign across the road, so you can't miss it!

I'm guessing that a few of us locals-ish will be there for a large chunk of that time (hi @Phil_aka_Pip, @ESBlonde, @handsomerik), but that most will drop in for a few hours sometime during Saturday pm.  I'm guessing we'll be busiest from around 4pm through til 9pm/10pm.

So, to all those who have said yes, or maybe, but we haven't heard from for a few days ... will we be seeing you on Saturday?

@photek @mike.l @Lexie1 @Bidley @Frankus @JayGee @jaygtr @loverocker @frictionfraction @birdo @surfguy13 @EdGrip ;@ddlooping @viz @MattG

And just in case you can now make it, even only for a couple of hours, be great to see you ... @bigjon @longtallronnie

Did you get transport sorted?  @digitalscream

Last, and least, @Monquixote - get your pass stamped?

If I've missed anyone - pass it on!!

TTony

@digitalscream ;

Not sure why I couldn't "@" you above ...

Most odd. I'm out, unfortunately

Longtallronnie

I was hoping I might be able to make an appearance but I very much doubt it now. Hopefully it will go well and there'll be another in the future.

photek

@TTony

I am away I am afraid (I did post on page 4 to explain). Hopefully make the next one and I am sure @mike_l will give me the low down on how it goes!

jaygtr

I will be there on Saturday , from about 4ish . I won't be staying too late as I'm out early on Sunday.

I will bring my les Paul and tele, and I might just chuck my Marshall jtm 30 in the boot, and my dano too.

mike_l

I'm aiming to get there sometime around 3.

@photek ; of course I'll let you know how it goes, and, more importantly what you missed out on

I shall brung the DSL, a selection of pedals and a couple of guitars.

Bidley

As I said yesterday, I don't think I'm going to be able to attend, I have a gig that evening. I will do my best to pop over in the afternoon but I can't promise anything, unfortunately!

viz

Same with me - it sounds like fun but I'm doing family stuff that day - sorry, but i hope it's enjoyable!

mike_l

Not more twerking lessons Viz?

Shame you can't come though mate.

monquixote

The family who twerks together stays together. 

ddlooping

Could we have an updated list of attendees, please?

I'll be hitching a ride with Frankus and will be bringing "X-Traveller" and a Line 6 HD500.
