Harties Woodstock

NorioDS · 2010-03-01T10:44:57+00:00

So, it's official, my friends @ Harties are cool with us going there for a biggish jam. It's obviously quite far to go on a regular basis but, maybe, once every 3 months is doable. Now, if you guys haven't figured it out yet, I'm terrible at organising things, so I'm posting this thread so you can help me make this happen. We need to discuss what will be needed, and then discuss who'll be providing it, as well as other logistics which simply would never cross my mind but that you guys will think of :) Updated: 12 May 2010: [u][b]Where is it?[/b][/u] Bronze Age Foundry Map (You can also get directions here from wherever you're coming from): http://maps.google.co.za/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=S+25%C2%B0+41'+14%22+E+27%C2%B0+51'+44%22+&mrt=all&sll=-28.45,24.7&sspn=28.574147,39.506836&ie=UTF8&ll=-25.701325,27.868967&spn=0.057618,0.077162&z=14 [quote author=likotzeseasalt link=topic=6624.msg80254#msg80254 date=1273590057] The entrance from the R513 is Nr 16. There are big signs that say Jo Roos Gallery and also Margarte Roberts. Just follow the dirt road, pass the old colapodated white house on the left. Go around the corner (another Margaret Roberts sign) and past a fence on the left made out of grass. Just after that you will see a sign that says Foundry on you RIGHT. As you turn in there, you will see the road fork, take the RIGHT and you are at the Foundry. If anyone gets lost, please give me a call on (079) 384-8612 [/quote] [quote author=likotzeseasalt link=topic=6624.msg71048#msg71048 date=1267515177] Bronze Age Foundry, which is a shed of about 70 feet long and 40 feet wide. The Eastern and Southern sides have walls and the other 2 sides are open, so you can see the sun but you are in the shade always, unless you want to sit on the edge of the foundry and catch some sun. There are several power points as well as 3 phase power if ever needed. There is one toilet and a place to wash dishes, hands, face, brush teeth or whatever. There is a very old, but still working fridge and freezer that can be used but your own cooler would be better (then you are in control of your booze, he he he) [/quote] [b][u]When is it?[/u][/b] May 15, 11am onwards. [b][u]What will be available?[/u][/b] - PA system(s) - A drum kit - 3 bass guitars - 2 bass amps - Electric keyboard - Coupla electric guitars - Acoustic electric - Some harmonicas - 12 String guitar - Shakers - African drums - Electric points - Braai areas - Tent area (where some can pitch a tent so as not to drive home drunk :D) - Lots of parking [b][u]What should each person bring?[/u][/b] - Guitars - Bass guitars - Keyboards - Cables - Mics - Stands (!!) - Monitor amps - Extension cord(s) - Meat to braai - Drinks to, er, drink - A cooler box + ice packs for your drinks and meat - Power strips - Extra strings - Vocals :) (get liefie on-stage!) - Lights (if you have :)) - Sleeping bag(s) - Tent(s) - Water bottles (!) - Braai grids, tongs, etc [u][b]Please keep in mind[/b][/u] We will be in someone's backyard, so to speak. Be respectful of our hosts and of your fellow members. And most importantly, clean up after yourself :) Also: Take care of your stuff. If you're providing lights or borrowing someone your guitar, don't go off and get drunk/stoned/etc. Be around to pack it up again later in the day. A little bit of diligence will go a long way!

So... with this happening in just over a week, we need to confirm times. What times should people start arriving?

I'm assuming that we should also set a time for people to have left the following day so that Li and Steve don't have a whole bunch of squatters come Sunday evening ?

Suggestions? Li? When's good for you guys?

Rudolf

Subscribed...I might swing by the saturday, unfortunately got alot of plans for that weekend which I can't find excuses for now. But yea, it's not too far from me to make a trip out.

nicovlogg

Seems I won't be able to make it - could you put my status on pending? :-\
My sister asked me to put together a jazz trio for her birthday that day. ?

NorioDS

Okie dokes ?

By the way, if any Joburgers want to join us just for the sake of meeting up, please do! No one will force you to play anything. Just bring your own meat and drinks and have fun!

IceCreamMan

Sorry , i have to bale.... we have turned this into a long weekend by taking monday off and going to mpumalanga for the weekend.

Again profuse apologies.

NorioDS

No worries man of the ice cream ?

MikeM

Snap attack.. Forgot about this ? Hoping to still make it.

Any advancement in terms of maps/directions, starting times and such, Norio?

NorioDS

Nope, I've contacted Li and Steve for the info and I'm hoping they'll reply here and soon!

Infenes
