Turtlerock Forum

Hi Kids,
Just created an official thread for the Melbourne Trock BBQ. This has nothing to do with the Sydney one.
So don't expect mic / gear shoot outs, CPU performance tests, plug in / hardware comparisons... or any other crap like that.
However we will have a BBQ....yeah crazy I know but its true. And of course beer will be consumed (bottle shop across the road).

So it will be held at Coloursound / Pickstone premises, on Sunday the 6th of March. Will kick off around 12ish I guess.
Address is 58 Pier St, Sunny Altona (Altona). I'll supply the BBQ, you bring what ever food you like (Coles over the road also).
I look forward to meeting some of you.

Cheers.

I shall try and make it, if I'm not gigging.

Matty, looks like I am away that entire weekend - Friday 'til Sunday. Just my luck.

Have a good one, and I guess in reality who needs an excuse for bbq and beers - we can do another one sometime.

Cheers,
Dave

I'll be there but a bit late, depends when the rehearsal finishes...

Thats right Dave, It might become a monthly event. haha!

Just a reminder to all Melbourne Trockers about the BBQ..... Its this coming Sunday they 6th from 12pm.

.........beer swilling!

Sorry I won't be there on Sunday. Family stuff (son's birthday) on that day. Maybe next time.

Sad to miss catching up with you all. Don't have *too* much fun without me!

Last call for all Melbourne Trockers. BBq is tomorrow from 12. Weather is looking to be a good. Bring what ever you want........and ok if you want to test mics etc.... your welcome to. Address is 58 Pier St, Altona. Millers Rd exit from Westgate freeway. If your coming on the train, take the Werribee line and get off at Altona station (Pier St). Studio is hidden behind shops closer to the beach end of the street, across the road from Coles and behind the noodle shop. Ok see you then.

Thanks to Mat and his family for a very enjoyable afternoon. (I still reckon Myles' stories of finding gear are better than my one!)

Cheers

Thanks David, wish I had more... stories that is, I know its sacrilegious but I'm thinking I have too much gear.

Fun day was had by all, thanks to the host.

M

it was a good day but i'm still not happy about all that inappropriate touching Mat was dishing out…...

Yep was a good day. Great weather, Good food and company. My dog was loving it...and then came the BBQ scraps. Thanks for everyone who made the trek out to sunny Altona. Paul, the only inappropriate touching was done by you when you set up the Peluso and the Barney Special....

Sorry I missed it. We got invited down the coast for the weekend and I couldn't say no as it was our last chance for a while.. You sure got a good day for it.

ok well you guys better duke it out as to who actually hosted the BBQ and i will send the hostee a forum tshirt

definitely Mat hosted... and the family.

ok dokey matt
email me you dress size and your postal address and i will get a TRF dance frock out to you

If i've already ordered my T does that mean i'm the host next time? Although at least Matt and I can attend dress co-ordinated.

sorry we didnt make it - experienced a toddler melt-down as does sometimes happen . . .

"i lit the bbq last Tuesday and have been running a 3 hour swap of hickory and mulberry kindling to get the bbq pot blackened ready for today
today i am using hypodermic needles to inject my secret sauce only into the upper veins of the ribs , on the lower veins i am using my 9 part spice rub
i only have 18 hours to get this set of ribs done .. it will be hard but i reckon i might just make it "

judge 18 hours later
"i can taste coffee in this ..why would you put coffee in the veins of the ribs? - i dont like it - you lost my vote right there "
