Ok I reckon it's high time for a big time get together.

I have spoken with someone at Unit 11 for a Saturday morning? Say 10am-1pm?

Unless there are better suggestions for times and days etc.

They said they will have a bar and charge R1,000 for the venue. I didn't try negotiating and said I'd find the general consensus.


So whenshouldwe whenwhouldwe?

I was thinking the 29th April? Any more than 10 and we're all pitching in less than R100 for the privelege.

Let's hear thoughts
    29th is a Friday, but I'll be on leave so I am game. Will just have to confirm on cost, because if only a couple of guys turn up, it could be a bit expensive.
      Oh ja.
      What about the 30th then?

      Any ideas for a cheaper venue?
        I'm keen to join something like this...

        Would the purpose of this be a get together for fun and to meet each other? or a jam, all bring our amps and gear and jam together?

        I think, depending on the goal, the venue could change.
          I'm keen ? . It'll be great to jam!
            Sounds great.
            My family in JHB will be down over that time so I hope I'll be able to get away.
              I'm coming down on the 29th, so hopefully it'll be on the 30th. And I think Stratisfear will be in Dubs too.

              Will be awesome meeting some of the guys. Will call you to confirm venue, and timing Don.

                Im keen but also thinking maybe a cheaper venue...If theres only a few of us it wouldn't be sooo bad to have it at someones house, but you can't volunteer anyone either...
                Aubs bring some guitars ?
                  ***** ADVERT ALERT ******

                  I'll be playing there that night, for battle of the bands!!! ?.

                    Any suggestions? I don't mind calling/negotiating/begging but I need to know who?
                      I'd be happy to host, but my apartment is tiny and i'm far up north.. We could always use my church (an old cinema ?). But again, that is far up north, but would be free. ?
                        I'm sorry I can't offer any real advice or a venue, but I'm happy to fit in with whatever you guys decide, and am happy to drive anywhere in the greater Durban area.

                          Shaun, as long as that gear of yours makes it along, I'll be a happy man! ?

                                I wasn't being coy! ? I was just wondering if there was anything specific I should bring. I'm not keen to cart 2 guitars AND 2 amps around. I don't have a favourite guitar, I love them both.

                                  My vote goes for the R9 ?

                                  Also the church idea doesn't sound bad albeit far...What do you other guys think?

                                    Well, you better get keen QUICK! ? Just kidding, would love to hear that AFD! ? Would also love to play a real Gibson! ?
                                      I'm happy with any venue where we could make some noise. I'll bring the AFD and both guitars. It's quite interesting to compare a Gibson USA model and a Historic back to back and see just how different they actually are from each other.

                                      Dying to hear what the AFD sounds like cranked. So far I've had it set on 15 watts with volume up at 7 and it shakes the walls. I wonder what it sounds like at 100w? ?
