    Hotel booked Friday night so me and my daughter can attend on Saturday. It's my first show in at least 15 years!

    If anyone sees a fat pirate in a wheelchair, that'll probably be me.
    wow, can I ask where you are coming from and what prompted a 15 year turnaround?

    I just want to know if a particular bit of marketing worked really, then do more of that :)
    It's all Adrian Thorpes fault...I'm coming to collect a debt he owes me.

    I live in Norwich so a bit of a trek to do the round trip in one day.
    So, what I need to do more of,     is find people Adrian owes :-)

    Thanks for replying
    In truth, I've been wanting to go for a few years but for one reason or another I just haven't made it.

    I almost made it the last Olympia show but it was too risky doing it on my own and at the time the short distance from the car park was too much for me to tackle.

    This show/venue seems much easier for cripples like me to get around.

    The other reason is that there's a few exhibitors at the show that have been very kind to me in one way or another since my leg came off. It'll be nice to finally meet them and say thanks in person.

    I know it'll wear me out but I'm genuinely looking forward to it. It sounds like it's going to be a great show.

    I haven’t been to one for probably 30 yrs, last time I went I was left with never wanting to hear another guitar as long as I lived ;) . There are only so many times you can listen to a swept minor arpeggio and bloody GnR riffs played out of tune and too loudly :)
    Hopefully Bumblefoot playing GnR riffs will stop anyone else :)

    Give it a go, you never know, then you can decide if it was a good 30 year decision
    What day is bumblefoot playing?
    Karma......

    The Guitar Show is great. Really looking forward to it again next week.
    I'll be there for D'Addario of course, but I'll also be wandering around, trying out a lot of potential new toys ;)

    See you all there!

    If you want to write the player head to heads and do the presser and can gain 3 stone in 2 days, go for it....
