I have Acrobat installed. I can't find any way of assigning apps to file types under 'default apps' as you would on a pc. That's weird. Try opening Acrobat first, then using that to open the file which is probably in Downloads. Quote

I can open saved files ok. Quote

Richard R Posted February 6 Posted February 6 An email from Steve Lawson, as I follow him on Bandcamp, saying that he will be at the show on Sunday. "And then at the start of March, I'm playing at The Guitar Show in Birmingham. I'll be on on the Sunday of the show, March 2nd, and will be around all day. I'll post an update with my set time ASAP." 1 Quote

There's a chip shop about 5 mins walk away from the venue as an alternative however, as well as a really good beer shop a few doors down (https://maps.app.goo.gl/fseFK4jF6iNqShyD7) 1 Quote

jazzyvee Posted February 9 Posted February 9 (edited) I know that area and if you head towards the Stratford road (A34) on Cranmore Blvd and turn right in less about a mile, there are loads of eating places in Shirley shopping area. if you get a taxi bus or drive down to Parkgate Shopping Cente(ASDA) you can park there and if you come out of the car park there are loads of eateries there from pub grub, Whetherspoons, Desco Lounge to Indian restaurants along the high st there. There is also a KFC next to the BP petrol station on Stratford road and MacD's if you turn left on stratford road out of Cranmore, and head back towards the M42. Hope that helps.

Richard R Posted February 9 Posted February 9 If you do park in Parkgate then be aware that it's free for three hours, and you have to pay to park longer. I have no idea how you do that. The venue car park isn't really big enough, but there is enough on-street in the surrounding industrial estate. Looking forward to it. Quote
Bilbothebassplayer Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Yeah the street parking looks alright but I don't know what it will be like on the day haha. Do people tend to bring their own basses to try amps out and things or would I look a muppet? haha My mate Aaron is on the Ortega stand and he has told me they have a new Solid Body U-bass out, so I'm looking forward to seeing that, Re-chargeable electronics apparently 🧐 Quote

Taking basses in/out isn't something I see people doing much, and adds complexity in terms of security (receipts are checked for instruments on exit). 1 Quote
