Grace.

Awesome. :awesome: I suggest you try not to get arrested... haha. Good luck! :(

Don't worry I haven't got mine yet either. Keep hoping though!

Hot and sunny, about 37C

I found this on http://www.accuweather.com, probably likely to change for the later dates but could still be a help to some: Auckland, Friday, Jan 15 Partly sunny and beautiful. Winds will be light and variable High 21 °C, Feel like 27 °C Gold Coast, Sunday, Jan 17 Sunshine and comfortable. Winds from the NNE at 9 km/h High 29 °C, Feel like 38 °C Sydney, Friday, Jan 22 Mostly cloudy, warmer and very humid. Winds from the NNW at 14 km/h High: 31 °C, Feel like 42 °C Sydney, Saturday, Jan 23 Turning colder but humid with intervals of clouds and sunshine. Winds from the SE at 11 km/h High 24 °C, Feel like 29 °C Melbourne, Tuesday, Jan 26 Rather cloudy. Winds from the SSW at 17 km/h High 24 °C, Feel like 26 °C The other dates are too far ahead to see yet :P

Ha I know, but unfortunately there are no music retailers within a 100km radius of my place :(

^^Can't say I'm a big fan either... So what's everyone doing for Australia day?

Ahh, how I wish I had Austar! :bomb: But yeah, I don't really mind either. Oh, and two weeks today for me! And Alex! :dance:

I second that entire post :embarassed: :P But great choice for the next single, it's one of my favourites from the album!

Can't wait to get my hands on a copy on Friday!

Listening on myspace now, quite like it :cool:

I suppose what I meant was that I'll still eat throughout the day, but dinner itself can wait til after... sorry, now I'm just being picky :P If the food's anything like it was on Oaks day it should be OK.

Afterwards? :laugh3:

^^Haha, I would probably do the same thing with my brother/sister, and persuade them to come to the ones I want to see :P Mind you, they know even fewer bands than I do so they probably wouldn't need much convincing :P

Well to be honest I don't know as many of them as you do :P but it's pretty similar, yeah. We definitely should! I'll just be by myself anyway, so that would be awesome :awesome: I'll save you a spot :laugh3:

Thanks Alex, very helpful for all us first-timers! :P I've just remembered, they have a cloaking room don't they? As annoying as it would be at the end of the night, it would be possible to buy stuff early and just put it there. Me too :\ It's stupid, but for the sake of one band I'm going to bypass two others :shrug:

Yeah I know, just trying to avoid carrying things around all day :P

All I can say is, I'm glad I'll have already seen Eskimo Joe and Kasabian by the time the day comes around! A quick question about the merch stalls, are they open right until the end?

Ahh, they're all loading for me except the melbourne one :facepalm:

Agree 100% Kudos to Lore and Alison for actually volunteering to organise this whole thing, it can't have been an easy job! I don't really mind that much that I haven't got one yet, I'm just happy that my SS got theirs on time and loved it :D

So I've listened twice now, only through computer speakers so not in great quality. I really liked it though on the second listen, particularly White Sky and Holiday. I'll wait until I get the CD to listen properly, but so far I can't see it being any worse than the first one.

THANK YOU!

Yeah me too, though that would mean I'd miss out on at least some of Temper Trap and all of Powderfinger :(

Hmm, me too. I hope the Melbourne timetable isn't the same (though I suspect it will be), otherwise I'll miss out on seeing some artists that I want to see for fear of missing out on a good spot for muse :(

Ahhh I see. Bastards :P

Well being a person who doesn't really know much about the band I thought it might be a good place to start. Clearly I was very wrong :P :D
