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!

If I don't hear from Li or Steve today, I'm afraid I'll have to postpone the whole thing as no one has been able to confirm address, directions & times for us :/

NorioDS

Okay, this is officially postponed -- sorry guys. At least we got some logistics out of the way. That'll help in organising a future date.

aja

Awesome! I mean it sucks, but it is great because I cant make this weekend and I so badly wanted to come!

NorioDS

LOL, ja. It actually works out for me too as I have lots of work to do. I just wanna do something like this so bad. It's not fair that the Kaapies get all the fun ?

IceCreamMan

This is somehintg i dearly wanted to attend so forgive me for being just a lil happy that it has bene postponed ?

sepheritoh

Actually. It sucks. I now have a whole long weekend to sulk. Maybe I should use it to do some recording. But what am I gonna do with all that booze and grass I stowed away for the weekend?

Bring it to my house but shhhhhh, don't tell anyone else ?

Hi All,

Very sorry for not checking in sooner!!! I have been shut down from the internet for about 3 weeks, no reception and you know how it goes on a farm.

We can still do everything this month if that is ok with everyone. We just have to MAKE A DATE and then I WILL ORGANISE it!

So if someone can just make the date and time I will make sure everything is done and give directions and what not!

Again sorry for taking so long, I was hoping Steve would logg in but then again we live in the same place with the same problems!

Give me a call on (079) 384-8612 and then I will be able to talk to someone, maybe you Norio, so that we can make this thing happen!!

Rock on!!

NorioDS

How about Saturday the 15th? According to AccuWeather.com, we can expect lots of sunshine and it still gives us 2 weeks to organise a coupla things (or cancel other plans ?)

I'll need a lift though as Tanya is doing a wedding shoot on the Saturday and a maternity shoot the Sunday.

WantzChas

I'll be driving from Centurion and will probably be alone in the car so have space for 3 others.

NorioDS

W00t woot ? Thanks Chaz ?

likotzeseasalt

Hey Norio,

That sound good. I will confirm tomorrow, Tuesday, 4th May. What I need to know is WHAT TIME we should start and the rest is taken care of.

I am excited about this Woodstock thing and know that we can make this work out just nicely!!

Til later,

Heath

No chance to do it after the 25th , say after payday .....

NorioDS

Time-wise, I don't think anyone will arrive before 10am. Heck I never leave my house before then so maybe we make arrival between 11am and 1pm. Gives people some time to get there, even if it's a bitterly cold winter's morn ?

MikeM

Tentative from my side. A week before my semester exams so yea ?

likotzeseasalt

Between 11 am & 1 pm sounds good to me.

Can most people vote between the 15th and the 28th of May 2010 so that we can make the date and get it done please!!!

NorioDS

Okay I added a poll that expires in 4 days. Please vote people ?

[deleted]

28 May is a Friday? ???

NorioDS

Okay, let's do the 15th and get on with it!
