I need to know what stuff to bring (principally sleeping stuff and that, but I can bring some 360 or DS stuff if that's what we're doing), and how to get there on scummy peon transport

I believe bedding is provided (Bobby/Curio please correct me if I'm wrong?!) but you'll need to bring a towel. We already have an xbox/Rock Band instruments.

The number 38 Arriva bus from Derby city centre takes you to Stenson Fields which is within about half a mile of the house. From there it should be walkable/someone may offer to pick you up (?). The postcode for the house is DE73 7FZ if you want to have a look at it on the map.

Hope that's of some help

That is of much help, thank you. Derby is much bigger than I'd realised, so I'm sure I can get there easily enough. A bus vaguely nearby ought to do me, I have a quite good sense of direction (Manchester meet didn't count, alright?).

Cheers! I can bring controllers/games along if that's the order of the day. Not likely to bring the 360, as I'd have to take it to work with me, and some twatto student would probably teef it.

There's no pressing need to sort out everything before the weekend. We can sort things out there and see how much money I get by the end of it.

I have some questions but I think that answers the first but I'll continue anyway:

1) How would you like the extra payment
2) When do you want it by
3) What monies do I need to bring for the consumables on the googledoc I've still not looked at
4) Should I bring my gas BBQ, as it won't get any use otherwise

Much obliged for organising it all, MrC.

I think the 360s are likely to be reserved for group musical purposes only, so I wouldn't worry about that.

After having a quick look at the list, it seems we're going to have loads of Rock Band/Guitar Hero games and some mics, but no guitars or drums. I vaguely remember mention of someone bringing GH drums, so I'll assume they've just not made the list, are we ok for guitars. What about ordinary pads (if there's anything non-music related we're likely to play)?

MaliA · **Posted:** Wed Oct 13, 2010 21:37

I has 2x USB 360 guitars.

Is the quiz happening on Saturday?

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49233

Probably - Curio will need Saturday morning to write it.

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Wed Oct 13, 2010 22:03

I'm tempted to bring a real guitar + amp, just to show up you amateurs get horrendously drunk and embarass myself with bad playing.

Doctor Glyndwr · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 32621

My drumkit is a "real" one, Dave, so you can show off with that.

Is it a valvestate 8080? I use mine as a rest for dead printers. And Blackstones as a door stop.

Nah. Marshall JTM30. Nice and Valvey sound you get out of it.

Depends on quite how rusty I am after nearly 2 years of barely playing. (No practice space in London)

Besides: I'm not actually that good on Guitar, never nave been. I've been told by many people that I have(had?) an amazing feel for Bass and Drums. Guitar though, I was distinctly average.

Mr Russell · **Joined:** 6th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 12309

I'm already bringing an amp for Curio to use for quizzing if needs be, which will quite happily accept guitar based input.

Grim... · **Posted:** Wed Oct 13, 2010 22:24

Surely someone should bring an acoustic or something?

Mr Russell · **Joined:** 6th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 12309

I can do if needs be, but I'm not very good at playing it.

Ooh, I could bring my bass & amp. Beex band time?

For a small fee (wine) I can offer my husband's musical talent.

I'll be up Friday with MrsA.

Excellent. Although if we band it up we should go in the other cottage, due to not being unplugged.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49233

If you're shite I'll unplug you.

I have Singstar mics - are they standard? They have normal jack plugs on.

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38519

I could swipe one from work, but we'll not be staying into the evening

edit: or what docG said

1/4" jacks? Should be ok. Mine's an XLR to 1/4".

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38519

Might need a 3.5" to jack convertor.

myp · **Posted:** Wed Oct 13, 2010 23:13

3.5mm you mean?

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38519

lol, yeah.

myp · **Posted:** Thu Oct 14, 2010 7:28

When is this? Not sure I can make it, as I'm too busy looking for a jack the size of a floppy disk.

I feared this may be a male "I can't find it" and it'd turn up somewhere obvious, but I can confirm the mic is indeed LOST! Or, more likely, in the loft.

Anyway. Not long now...

Curiosity · **Posted:** Thu Oct 14, 2010 9:18

So, is this turning into Band Camp now?

I'll bring my flute.

Zardoz will be along with his "everyone must blow on this" pink oboe in a minute.

If you're good you can blow it for longer though.

Damn, that boy can play.
