Kaynin Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 We did. We're sharing with Redgum. Highlighted my point perfectly. Will see you there!
Art Vandelay Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 Highlighted my point perfectly. Will see you there! But the very fact they were forced to share is very much the elephant in your room.
Kaynin Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 But the very fact they were forced to share is very much the elephant in your room. But the mere fact they made the effort solved the perceived problem. Didn't Stereophilus and Tony M find rooms in the very hotel after you said there wasn't one available within 1.5 k's?
Rick Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 But the very fact they were forced to share is very much the elephant in your room. I wouldn't say we were forced to share, that is, no one had a gun to my head. It's just more cost effective to share, so I asked Redgum if they wanted to join us. They accepted. It's win win for both of us. 1

Didn't Stereophilus and Tony M find rooms in the very hotel after you said there wasn't one available within 1.5 k's? Don't worry I have worded up every hotel within coowee of the CBD to keep Art out, all is good. :lol: 1
Stereophilus Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 I spoke to Stereophilus and he said everyone is welcome to crash at his place. I think. Hey!!... Did I say that...? Must have been drunk again. Damn it. You win this round Mr Krispy. 1
evil c Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 Hey!!... Did I say that...? Must have been drunk again. Damn it. You win this round Mr Krispy. And you shall be known as "Stereophallus" - screwed by everyone! Psst - Can I have the front bedroom? 1

You are obviously of the opinion that I'm playing some sort of game, so I apologise if I've created that impression.
Art Vandelay Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 Let's just hope that the organisers can learn from this years scheduling mess, and avoid making the same mistake in the future
Luc Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 Just wondering if there is going to be a SNA members knees up somewhere? I'm in if there is and I'm in if there isn't it...
Kaynin Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 You are obviously of the opinion that I'm playing some sort of game, so I apologise if I've created that impression. No, no Art, not under that impression, just can't agree with you on this one
Rick Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 Let's just hope that the organisers can learn from this years scheduling mess, and avoid making the same mistake in the future The 2011 show was the weekend after the MotoGP. We went to the GP, then did the show, was a great few weeks, and now it's totally stuffed as we can only do one or the other.
Saxon Hall Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 And on top of all that there's the Foggy Mountain Bluegrass Festival all that weekend just up the road in Kinglake as well. I would have gone to that if it was not for the HiFi Show.
Saxon Hall Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 How the hell are the organisers meant to choose a date that will please EVERYONE? 1
Stereophilus Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 Just wondering if there is going to be a SNA members knees up somewhere? I'm in if there is and I'm in if there isn't it... Yeah, would be good. Friday night I'm out to dinner with the wife at Nobu... Anyone want to crash that too? 1
Art Vandelay Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 The 2011 show was the weekend after the MotoGP. We went to the GP, then did the show, was a great few weeks, and now it's totally stuffed as we can only do one or the other. 2011 was great, but unfortunately I had to fly back prematurely to attend a Steely Dan / Steve Winwood concert in the Hunter Valley. That time of year is definitely prime time on the national events calendar, so collisions are almost unavoidable.
Art Vandelay Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 How the hell are the organisers meant to choose a date that will please EVERYONE? That's impossible of course, but pretty much any other weekend would have been better.
Art Vandelay Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 No, no Art, not under that impression, just can't agree with you on this one No problems there. Very few people agree with me generally anyway, so you're in good company. 2
Luc Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 No problems there. Very few people agree with me generally anyway, so you're in good company. That's just such a fantastic admission Art, well done and more power to you and keep on being exactly as you are.
Art Vandelay Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) That's just such a fantastic admission Art, well done and more power to you and keep on being exactly as you are. Well, it would be difficult not to make that observation. It's too late to change now of course, but I think I'd be concerned if everyone started to agree with me anyway. :nana Edited August 8, 2014 by Art Vandelay 1

I can fully understand you doing that - wife and I saw both performing at Rochford winery in the Yarra Valley, they've still got it after all these years! 1

I definitely didn't walk away disappointed. Steve Winwood was the support act, but on his own he was worth the price of admission. The weather was simply perfect, and the entire evening was so damn sensational that even the crap wine tasted good. 2
