Sweetwater Gearfest

[Davey28]

Anyone going to GearFest? I am coming down from Northern Michigan and thought maybe maybe other members would like to meet up.

I am leaving after work on Thursday and planning to attend both days. Any members interested in meeting up?

 

[LowEndWooly]

I'll be there, I only live an hour and a half away. It's a fun time.

Right on. I'm about four-and-a-half hours away. Really looking forward to it!

I live a little less than an hour from Sweetwater and wanted to check it out at some point this weekend. I've got a couple buddies that work there.

I just discovered that many of the events from this year's GearFest are going to be live-streamed over the interwebs. Info and links here:

As GearFest Approaches, Sweetwater Adds Live Streaming for Event Panels and Workshops

Personally, my top priority is the Adrian Belew Power Trio at 5:00 on Friday (Julie Slick!!!!), but I'm going to try to watch as much of the other stuff as I can.

Hopefully, We'll get to see the outside performances. It is pretty wet in Ft. Wayne, today!

Just shook Mitch's hand! Place is busy.

Good session called Rhythm is King with Carlitos Del Puerto this morning.

Anyone else here?

And....just ran into Dino from Ampeg

 

[LowEndWooly]

Yeah, Dino is super friendly. He usually brings his own Lakland bass to play the Ampeg stuff through. Did he do that this year? I'm hoping to ride the motorcycle there tomorrow morning, but weather might be an issue.

I watched part of one of the live streams this morning and the video and audio were super. The live feed is here:

I'm also glad to see that recordings of the previous sessions are available on the page as well. I wonder how long that will be the case.

Eagerly looking forward to 5:00 to find out what "Adrian Belew: Power Trio Clinic" means....

Dino was on his way somewhere: he was on a mission! I just said "Dino!" and he said hi and stuck out his hand. i did not see him performing anywhere, though. It is pouring rain right now!!
