Question for the computer geeks...

I have a laptop -- 2 months old or so. Just rang the hotel I'm staying at in Brisbane to see if they have internet access and she said they do have wireless internet access to the rooms. At home and at work I just plug the little cord into the side of my laptop. Do I need to get a wireless receiver or something for it work with wireless access?

You will have to get thier WEP code to use it.

I was at the Bri int. airport today (I do some work inside terminal) you can get 3L of sprits and 6 bottles of wine going into NZ and only 2.25L of alc.comming into Oz.

hope that helps with duty free

You never know......there are 5 of us so a decent apartment in Auckland similar to what we have in Brisbane and will get for Christchurch may work out pretty cheaply for us.

Astor apartments in Brisso look ok. Thats the sorta place we wanna get for NZ kids

Two rooms - separation from females
Balcony - beer, sun and joints :shock:
Pool - well there is no beach so...
Kitchen - late night tequilas and food + bacon and eggs rolls for brekkie
Laundry - will be needing that. Concert and daily exercise - thats two sweet filled bits of clothing each day

I stayed there for PJ in 2003 and 2006 and another time as well. Nice and comfy!

Two rooms will work out perfectly.....I'll have one bedroom, Lindy has the other and you and Rob are on the lounge!

my inability to turn one of my songs off before it's finished incase it jinxes the song is becoming a problem. yesterday on my way home from work i got off the motorway to go to the supermarket and black started and i knew i'd have to sit in the carpark for 5 mins waiting for it to finish... so i drove past the supermarket, got back on the motorway and went to a different supermarket.

*twitch*

i say this because i was just about to go away from my computer to wash my face and black started :roll:


THEY HAD BETTER PLAY BLACK FOR ME IN AUCKLAND!!!! I'm doing a lot of driving around to prevent it being turned off mid-song.

nope, it's just free wireless. rock in, connect using wireless on your laptop, iphone, Ds, whatever. no password needed just auto connects

alot of places now have free wireless, Wow sight and sound do, every maccas, even like at the shops like chermside or carindale, EB games stores, a whole shopping centre i was at in melbourne, most hotels.

i want to move next door to a maccas, not just for the food but free internet.

Have there been any venues organised for post-gig drinks in Auckland or Christchurch? Knowing this information would be handy when looking for accommodation.

Stay in the CBD for Auckland. The venue isn't that close, but I think you can catch a train there easy. Christchurch is not that big, so I wouldn't worry to much, just stay central.

Thanks! Any recommendations for places to stay in Auckland or Christchurch? There will be 5 of us....it may be be cheaper for us to get a 2 bedroom apartment as opposed to standard hotel rooms.

Liam Finn & EJ song played at the end of United States of Tara -- Second Chance -- I love the performance on Letterman of that song!

Lead Balloon is better live than Second Chance
