    Could've been. I was at all of them. :)

    Did you also see the Kirk Hammett looking guy? He's also at a lot of shows...

    haha probably have seen you then. I usually have weird colored hair at concerts. I think I was the only person with bright blue hair at Metallica. And if you saw two girls in bright pink Dave Grohl (davy Grohlton) shirts with a huge banner saying "OUR GOAL, MEET GROHL", that was me. :lol: I usually do something crazy at concerts.

    Kind of rings a bell... think I remember seeing him once.

    I'm looking to buy a single ticket to Ed's Sydney Opera House show, PM me if you've got a spare! I don't care where the seat is! :D

    I know but when I make them people call me a crazy fan girl hahaha

    The Dave Grohl one got alot of attention, people wanting to take pictures of it and stuff. My mum wore it as a cape after the show & these wasted dudes were going "OMG ITS AN ANGEL"

    I think Ed and the guys are putting money together to do a special NZ tour, what with all the new merch coming out! What do you folks think?

    yeah.. you're probably right. that's why it costs so much to get this stuff sent to nz.

    I know! The USD$165 = $215 didn't seem TOO bad, but then they slapped an extra $90odd bucks on top of it which prevented the pure impulse buy. Now I'm going to hold off and see if it's cheaper anywhere locally or online, but I don't reckon it will be...

    And I thought the Ten box set was bad. That one cost USD$190 all up from the 10C. This one's gonna end up being USD$237! Over NZD$300. I hate myself for having to buy this thing...

    Nope. As much as I want to, I won't. I'm a student and can't afford that kind of dough. Besides, if I had that kind of dough I would have bought myself a ticket to EV show in Aussietr0n. Also I'm more interested in the Vs and Vitalogy vinyls than all the bells and whistles, and I'm sure I could score a copy of those for less than 300 bucks. :ugeek:

    i do really really want it because i have the deluxe ten, but things have changed in 2 years for me financially and that shipping may be what kills it for me. that said, will be waiting with eyes peeled to see if RG gets them like they did the 10 redux. they still end up costing 300 bucks though.

    ugh. why the fuck is shipping so heinous? can't ed bring some over next month? oh wait. he's not coming. :evil:

    Because it is the last country on Earth. Nobody actually knows where it is, or how to get here.

    Just guessing.

    The shipping isn't a rip off at least. I guess that's just what it costs to send things that far. I'm thinking about getting it sent to my friend in San Fran. If I can get there sometime (maybe around this PJ weekend thing) then it'll save me $100!

    yeah, there are maps. i think we've even finally made it onto google maps.. though it's just a crude drawing at this stage.

    anyone got any ideas how I'm going to handle when the aussie tour kicks off?

    How bout I lock myself in my room and listen to Binaural on vinyl through headphones over and over?

    (If Ed plays Of The Girl I don't wanna know, understand?)

    better not lock myself anywhere, the kids might riot and eat all the cocoa puffs at once

    FUCK! I'm getting real gutted bout it now! Imagining how excited I'd be if he was coming over. And I keep thinking he's going to be a surprise guest at the blues fest (grassroots)....reminiscent of the time I was sure he was going to pop out at the 2nd SWC. Eddie! I'm sure you read all these threads avidly! Look dude it's fine, just pop over at the end of your tour, we'll sort the venue by then, something small will be fine, just fine

    I'll be fine, right?!

    i haven't visited the aus threads in a while. i'll just continue not to read anything about it and hope people don't try to force it on us.

    I'm not even going to bother going anymore. It would be too painful for my fellow kiwi fans... :lol:
