Sweetwater Gearfest 2018

[11top]

So, Boogie and I felt we should start the trip with a good nutritious breakfast:



Once there, we heard some amazing gristle music:





Then we learned all about building a custom guitar from some talented luthiers:



Finally, I was accosted by this wild man who said, “You either order another private stock or I will have you bumbershooted!”

You guys pack any cocktail sauce for the trip?

Bangin’!

JFB is texting me as I type this. He says no vegan hotdogs in the entire state of Indiana.

It’s a good thing that guy’s badge was turned around so we couldn’t identify him.

Bodia, only you get the special sauce.

Bumbershoot is always Labor Day weekend around here!

Looks like it was a nice time in Ft Wayne!

 

[Bill SAS 513]

Enjoy it all, guys...love greg koch!

 

[TroyBaer]

I'll be about tomorrow, barring weather related shenanigans.

Don't let the lack of a baseball cap throw ya. That buy Pablo is nothin' but trouble...

 

[shinksma]

Excellent!

If Indiana was a little closer, or if Sweetwater's Gearfest was closer in date to Experience, I might make it one day...
My BIL and family live in IL, close to IN border. Maybe next year I will co-ordinate "family visit" near a certain weekend in late June...

Finally we know the way to your heart, is with a three-foot umbrella ️️️

Aww.... I <3 you man! That'll get you a reprise from the Santana peer pressure. Heck, I may even let you borrow one!

Too kind.

There was a smokin’ deal yesterday on a Santana Retro but I just couldnt bond with the color scheme. I thought 11Top was going to buy it, for a minute. But then he came around and had that PS glint in his eye. I had to step back before I got infected...or pressured by Paul.

It has to be an IU umbrella (Go Hoosiers!).




Didn’t get a single photo with Jesse. It was great to hang with him though.

There were some bargains to be had for sure. That Santana had a nice trampas green flame top and sold for a nice price. SW had some really nice PRS models in the sale tent.

I sampled a non-vegan variety which I recycled with a vengeance this morning.

So did anyone buy anything cool? I wanna make it down there sometime, even if it's just to see the Indiana crew.

 

[Deli6505]

Ill be heading over there this morning as soon as my mates arrive.

 

[CVS]

Glad you are having a great time.

We need A PRS Experience & Sweetwater Gear Fest - Western US editions (I know a town where you can do a bit of gambling on the side - a perfect location for said events)

I bought a 2000 watt FRFR-112 Headrush monitor and a Line 6 wireless that Boogie convinced me I needed. They have really outstanding buys on the bargain table.

Congrats on your new purchases!

I have been trying to get a hold of my Sweetwater rep for the last 2 days and very uncharacteristically, he has not responded. Now I realize why. I forgot all about Gearfest.
