OK, I'm betting I win this one...

I live in Dunsborough/Yallingup, Western Australia and I've just bought 10c tickets to the LA 10/07 show.

According to google maps, this is a journey of 15,139km (just under 10,000 miles).

Anyone travelling further for a 2009 show?

    I might take my 10 year old to the show - what a spin that will be for him. Will have to try and catch them for some autographcs and pics at sound check - is this still possible?
