Title: London Guitar Show - stupid dates!
Post by: FELINEGUITARS on January 11, 2009, 05:26:48 PM: Looks like this Years London International Guitar Show which incorporates the London Guitar Show once again clashes with TWO big festivals:

Download
Isle of Wight

This will mean that once again it is a pretty dubious choice as to whether we will have a stand - and it may be likely hat BKP wont either as many of our core audience will be elsewhere.

Seems really silly to have put it on on those dates again.

So remarkably stupid.

Post by: dave_mc on January 11, 2009, 07:32:56 PM: yeah, that sucks. though the dates aren't so much the problem as the location for me... if it were held in belfast (heck, even dublin), i wouldn't have a problem with the dates... :)

Post by: MDV on January 11, 2009, 07:35:07 PM: I have no personal problem with the dates. I do have a problem with dates making it not worthwhile to go because things that are of interest to me wont be there.

you have to wonder at a lot of people organising stuff. it just seems like a lot of idiots are in charge nowadays (or maybe it was always like that). i mean, that'd be a bit like organising the FA cup final for the same day as the world cup final... :?

I'll have exams in that period this year, so won't be at download, but should still be able to lose a day to come to LGS.

Post by: Antag on January 12, 2009, 01:33:32 PM: Perhaps it's been done deliberately so that all the grown ups can play in peace while the kids are at Download?

Just in case anyone has sense of humour bypass, it's a JOKE, people... :)

I know you're joking but when I saw the header for this thread that's exactly what i wondered!
