February 7, 201016 yr OMG!! I post a message in the wrong thread!! I'm so sorry!!! So, thank you NumbersGirl!!! And sorry again!!:(
February 7, 201016 yr Good news, this morning I bought both an adapter and a voltage converter, plugged the globe into the adapter, into the converter, and then into outlet, crossed my fingers and winced and then flipped the switch and... Yay! It lights up wonderfully. Thanks to everyone who provided advice, especially Space Cadet (and Space Cadet's teacher ;)). I will take lots of pics tomorrow (I would take them today, but if I took all those pics while my hubby's here he'll think I'm insane). So, if any of you have any special requests, let me know. :D Something tells me I will get carried away and there will be an atrocious amount of picspam in this thread later on Sunday. A pic of it lighted up and spinning like in the Parachutes album would be awesome please. :D
February 7, 201016 yr Globe picspam commences... I decided to post pics in phases. First phase being the awesome drum case that was used to transport it during the Parachutes tour, second phase will be pics of the unlit globe, third phase will be the globe "all lit up". :D I'm trying to fit this in amongst my other daily activities, so I'm not sure when I'll take pictures and post the second and third phase, please forgive me. . . Phase 1: Drum Case Full view You can see the old crusty gum toward the bottom of the green strap that I mentioned earlier (eeeww) A view of some of the travel stickers Brit sticker close-up NZ sticker close-up Top view Open Teaser
February 7, 201016 yr I think ideally should stretch it out till the end of the Viva tour when the next wave of items start trickling in. We might start to suffer from withdrawal symptoms otherwise.:D Good idea Rick/Apparadude! :sneaky: Well, I will post phase 2 shortly. Phase 3 will have to wait for at least another day.

It kind of looks like Chris' writing. I want to know what it says, but I don't want to peel off the tape... so it will have to remain a mystery. :bomb: Some random views... Pictures of the globe all lit up to follow sometime later...
February 8, 201016 yr The awesomest thing ever :):):D :dance: congrats :awesome: I so want to see it all lit up A piece of history :D

February 8, 201016 yr Aaaww thanks Carrie :hug: PS. Please don't forget to include Tasmania (where Rickenbacker and I live), like mainland Australia always do :D EDIT: It has been brought to my attention that this comment could be perceived as Rickenbacker and I are a couple!!! :shocked2: Seriously, the guy won't even tell me his name - so no, not a couple! :laugh3: Apologies to the real Mrs Rickenbacker :P
February 8, 201016 yr AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH-:bomb: I believe I love you, NumbersGirl! :shy: :wacky:
February 8, 201016 yr Carrie, thank you so much for posting the pictures. It made me get all giggly & filled with butterflies inside & overall happy like it was Dec 30/31st all over again. :laugh3: Just as Rick pointed out, I too think this is it for the auction items, (at least from those willing to share their good fortunes with others) and it will be 6-10 weeks before the second wave of items arrive and new photos are posted. :( How utterly sad!! :bigcry: Carrie, milk those remaining photos for all it's worth! :P
