    @TTony pre-show nerves, web hits are up, advance tickets are up (9.5%)  and still worried :)

    It'll be fine.


    The asteroid should miss Bingley.

    The Russian hack of UK power networks isn't due until next month.

    The M6 will stay open all day.

    There's no sink hole waiting to appear under the car park.

    The bar have got at least 3 barrels of beer ready.


    Nothing can go wrong ...

    I know, I know, but I can never forget the second event I worked on (only for the last 4 weeks of the cycle, so it wasn't my fault) at the NEC, Hall 4 (16,000 sqm) 264 visitors over two days... keeps you on your toes doing a show like that

    @rsvmark , for the opportunity to get your mits on the gear that you do not usually see in most shops, it is a bargain.  And talking about bargains, there may be the odd deal to be had too.

    Do not be fooled into thinking it's NAMM, it's better than that.

    Well, I'm all ready to zip over this morning. :)

    However, did anyone else have issues with the Ticket Factory? I experienced some weirdness with their site on a few PC's - worked properly in Chrome, but not Firefox and still no confirmation email re. ticket purchase (nope, it's not in my Spam folder).

    First moan 

    What was the point in buying a ticket in advance and then still having to queue a mile long behind the people that are paying on the door which is 90% so far

    Due to chronic lack of payday (Monday 26th) I doubt that I'll be going. Been the last 2 years and it's been great but the Mrs insists we buy "food for the kids to eat" 

    Nobody is guaranteed tomorrow.....

    Very busy. Obviously hit a peaker time than before. Very little bass stuff, although the Ampeg guy was helpful and tolerant. Yet to hit the Yamaha stand so hoping they have loads of basses. 
    Seen Neville Marten eating chips and curry, quite exciting!

    Didn't see anything, will have to have another look. Got a musicians union bottle opener though! 
    I’ll handle this Violet, you take your three hour break.
