Turtlerock Forum

Jason long time TRF member and longer time friend has kindly
Offered a exclusive TRM tour/ looksee of the brand new opera house studio
And frankly this is the best built studio I have ever seen in australia !

Its in the friggin Opera house we can get you deep inside
Whats not to love ?

Tentative date subject to Jasons workload is jan 30 2015
More details as they happen .

We will need absolute numbers so rsvp asap .

Lets take the forum into the new year on a high note me thinks

That would be amazing. I would fly up to check it out – is the date likely to change?

Hi dave
Its subject to the operahouse schedule
If a gig comes up we get bumped
But i am sure Jason will keep us well informed .

Ok, I'll wait to book flights for the minute. Very keen.

Sounds great Rick.

Hi Rick & Jason,
This is my RSVP - please put my name on the list.

Regards
Rob

I'd love to go. Put me down.

Put my name down too thanks. Love the opportunity for a look-see.

Steve Lindsay

Yes interested.

Yup. Keep me in the loop.

Rick,

1) Is there a tentative time of day for this to occur......ie: morning, afternoon or evening?

2) Is it acceptable to bring interested family along for the ride?

Would also love to attend this - a great offer good sirs

Very interested too! This is my tentative RSVP.

Hey chris , no doubt we will quickly have numbers to deal with and opera house security restrictions
But as an idea if your more comfortable with family in tow and they are interested in dweeby studio tours
I see no issue

Saturday 30 Jan 2016?

I'll put my hand up and see if I can get a cheap flight from Melbourne!

Hello T Rockers, wow I haven't checked in for a few days thats quite a response.
The tour will be from 3-5pm, you will all have to turn up around the same time, preferably just before 3, at The Stage Door, follow the roadway underneath the Monumental Stairs.

With people possibly coming from interstate I've decided that it will go ahead even if we have a gig, but the time and length of tour may change depending on gig scheduling.

Theres only room for 25 people, interested family members are welcome, but I'd prefer it not to be a family day. Maybe Turtlerock members get first dibs??Rick

We'll mainly be looking at the Intel Broadcast Studios which is 2 audio and 2 video studios.
And we'll also have a look around the venues and technical infrastructure around the rest of the building.

I look forward to see you all in the new year.

Jason Blackwell

Thanks for offering this, Jason.

I'm looking at arriving in Sydney around noon and leaving around 6.30pm (from the airport). Is this enough wiggle room, Jason?

Going to book flights tonight.

Count me in.

Much thanks to Rick and Jason for this opportunity.

Hi David,
it depends on who your flying with.
You might have to leave a bit earlier. Taxi to airport from here is about 15mins on a good run.

So there's a chance it may run a bit earlier?

Looks as though it's about 20 minutes on the train, and then maybe a 10 minute walk.

I would love to come please rsvp me please.

I have jason here with me today
To get this to happen it needed to hide under the
Guise of industry promotion and techinal affiliation
Or some such opera house rule thing
Anyway numbers are limited its not really viable to have too many
Family members come alone i am sorry.

Hi Rick and Jason,
I need to be sure about this. Is the time still 3-5pm? Because I'm told the train is good and arriving three hours in advanced should do it I think.

Would love to come along but at this stage I believe I'm working on that date.
Please put me down as rsvp'd though.
If I can't make it this time perhaps I can take Jason up on his previous invite??

Hi Ben,
Yes that offer still stands.
I was only just thinking about you yesterday, I was at Turtlerock mastering the Sunnyboys live recording that you helped record.

That's fantastic Jason. Looking forward to hearing the final masters.
Will be in touch mate.

Flights are booked.

Looking forward to this

After reviewing real life priorities, I feel it's safer to exclude myself from this opportunity...........I'd hate to say "yes" now and then be forced to opt out at the last minute leaving an empty spot someone else could have had.

Have just been booked for a session/gig that weekend so have to pull out sorry Jason. Thanks for putting this on for us TR members, much appreciated and I'm sure everyone will have a blast. Photos would be most welcomed to those that can't make it
