Cool! I mean, Hot!

I am glad you all made Dave and Lisa feel at home.

Did Lisa find any giraffes over there to bring home?

I'll post some tonight, Joey...... as soon as I find my camera amongst all those cables, tools, power supplies and such!

Both Darren and Greg took some video of the actual 'jam', so we might see that at some stage....

No Shane, sorry, that's one of our famous "midget" Giraffes!

Andrea and I would also like to add our thanks and appreciation to Darren and Robyn Trott for an exceptionally wonderful day yesterday! The hostess with the very almostess!
It was great to meet new forumites Frank and his dad Joe,as well as regular forum contributor Mark "bails" Bailey! Although next time Mark,you're up playing!
The comedy act between host Darren and guest Dave Pascoe had everyone in stitches all day,as well as at dinner that evening.
It was a pleasure to meet both Dave and his lovely wife Lisa, they are a really fun-loving couple. Such a pity you guys are only here for such a short time! I'm up for drinks Thursday night!!!(hint hint).
The studio was great fun,again more laughter, choosing songs to play, which of the 27 guitars to play, which beer to drink,("you got any COLDER,mate?"),and thanking God for air-conditioning!
BUT... can someone else sing next time ,...PLEASE!

You saw my video efforts last night Aitch, not worth putting up for viewing,and as my stills camera was full, i'm so glad to see all the photos popping up in this thread!
Dinner last evening also gave our wives the chance to get together and meet everyone. Andrea loved the night out,but,came home complaining though,...of a sore jaw from so much laughter!Meeting Ron Viney's lovely wife Fran was delightful,and hope we can all get together for dinner again soon!
A table of genuine,good natured, humerous people and alcohol! A recipe for a top night!
Thanks Trotty!

Looks like fun was had by all. BTW, did Mark ever ditch the necktie?
