Planning Sweetwater Amp Fest, Fort Wayne, IN

[guitarslinger]

okay guys. The time has come. Eric and I have decided,

EgnaterFest @ Sweetwater Sound, 2009.

They have one of the most advanced facilities in the nation. They have food, arcade games, a sweet showroom, conference rooms, studios, etc.

Start giving me ideas for a time frame.

How long do we need to plan in advance?

BTW, we technically can't call it Egnater Fest, since Sweetwater isn't a dealer. This came directly from Robert "Fatang" Williams, so don't forget it.

Okay, so
July 11 = bad.
July 18 = Bad

What about AUG 1, 2009?

Please respond to this thread if you can go/can't go/think we need a different date/etc.

Also, list what gear you might want to bring.

Would Saturday July 11, 2009 be too soon?

I think July 11 would be good man! I'd be there for sure.

I'd bring:

Any of my guitars ppl would want to play (warmoth made, custom made, heritage LP, etc)
Mod 50
My Main Rig (Egnater M4, VHT 2/90/2, Furman Power Pro, Lexicon MPXG2, Line 6 Mod / Filter Pro, Decimator, CAE Line Mixer)
Eggie 2x12 Tourmaster -> G12T75 / CL80 w/ Mic Eliminators
My pedalboard.

That's pretty much all I could handle bringing in my car.

Not sure yet. I definitely want to go. This time of year, I have to travel a bit for work and I'm not sure yet if I have to go anywhere. I'm trying to work out a Columbus trip that week and just stay the weekend and go home on Sunday night. We shall see. I did Rocklahoma last year (and was almost squished when the stage came down ) but this may be the show to see this year. Probably safer too .

wow...didn't even hear about that happening! Rock on the range last year was a lot of fun. It's in a nice soccer stadium...Just get a floor pass instead of a arena seating only pass.

There was a microburst (I think they called it) super high winds out of no where-almost like a Tornado. Toppled the stage and all the rigging came down. Alot of gear got destroyed. I've probably never been that freaked out by weather. People were freaking out--it was surreal.
