eeek! i haven't even thought about packing yes. what to take...
caz, do you remember james' stone trousers? i might wear them to the gig
someone please help with my dilema at the top of the page. it's been bugging me for days!
Forget the merch stand until after the gig. You don't wanna be carrying stuff inside with you. And there's little danger of anything selling out before the end.
How pissed off am I? Normally when I'm about to go to a gig I get flu - which I can cope with, just about (foo fighters - sitting in a corner; feeling like shit but enjoying the music!!!) This time no flu - instead I get temporary DEAFNESS!!! What the f&*k??? Thursday - ear started feeling a bit dodgy, Friday - hearing became a little bit faint, Saturday - couldn't hear a thing out of my right ear. Sunday - trip to walk in surgery at the hospital, told my ear drum and canal are completely blocked and will take a week of twice daily oil treatments to clear it! Are you taking the piss? Monday - left ear starts going the same way! Back to the docs tomorrow and they better have a plan .....

Oh no that's horrible :( You are supposed to go deaf AFTER the gig you know But that sucks. Yes the doctor's had better have a plan. *sending you good vibes and a hug*

I'm gutted - sod twice daily oil treatments - I'm trying twice hourly in the hope it will clear it! Hopefully the gig will be loud enough to get through the blockage!
Well, on SNL it looked freshly shampooed and conditioned....and also kinda whispy!
Only if you have curly hair can you understand the pain of having it... even if it's slightly curly a la Ed's. See the sky about to rain and a little part of me dies every time... death to frizz!

I usually hit the merch stand first. But only because once i went to see Deep Purple and we went backstage for about an hour after the show and after we came out, the merch stand had closed!!! So I usually get it first and then bother with going in. Plus i'm gonna be in the 10c section, so I guess there'll be no rush to get to the front for me.

I wonder who you'll be sitting with! say, anyone who's in the 10c seets kind enogh to buy me a poster?
I'll buy the drink afterwards
Is it seated? That'll suck. I'd actually rather be on the floor than fucking miles away. :(
I just had a thought. It's obvious they'll play their new album, but will they play any other PJ stuff? Cause if they don't, i for one will be gutted and probably cry as this is my first time seeing them and i feel like i've waited all my life. I guess an album is like 11 songs... and a set is maybe... 15?

Don't despair matey. The venue is so small that you could be standing at the very back and still see the white's of Vedder's eyes. And if you have got a ticket for the upstairs area, it doesn't matter as you can walk downstairs to the standing area without any bother as the bouncers only stand at the door : )
Maybe i'm being thick. It should last about 2 hours yeah? And maybe an hour of that will be taken up with the new album (If they play it in it's entireity) ... I just want some Old Skool PJ. Don't mind what particularly. I wanna sing with Ed!
One of my bootlegs has 27 songs. Bonus.

Have you been to the Astoria before? I'm wondering if it's more like the Shepherds Bush Empire or the Hammersmith Apollo. I'm hoping it's more like Shepherds Bush. I love that venue!

It's better than the Shepherds Bush empire. Better atmosphere and acoustics. I've been loads of times - not for a few years though. I saw Janes Addiction there in 1990.

Ask to have your ear syringed, it not as bad as it sounds it's like a mini jet wash for your ear. Doctors tend not to prescribe it in young people as it encourages the waxy build up to err, ...build up again. Insist on having it done, I did and I have no further problems.
Failing that get some Audiclean - http://www.audiclean.co.uk/ it essentially the same sort of thing and it's just water, no chemicals. Just ask for it at most pharmacies, it usually under the counter nudge nudge wink wink.
OOOOOhhhhhh 3 days and not much longer............ let my spirit passssssssssssasasasasasssssyeahheaheeyeah

Awesome. I loved the size of the Shepherds Bush Empire. It's sooo small and nice.

Great my 200th post is about earwax, ...............rock and roll people.........rock and roll.

They should be able to, its usually a job done by the nurse, I definately recommend it given the cirmcumstances.

The nurse at the hospital didn't seem to understand when I stressed that I must be able to hear for PJ? She just looked at me as if to say "What?" Stupid bitch - this is a matter of life or death!!!!!!

I meant the nurse at your local Practice, they should be able to do it.

I'll ring in the morning and speak to the nurse before I go for my appointment! Thanks for the ear cleaning advice service!!!!!! Much appreciated!!!! (very minging though!)

Phone ahead, when I had my ear syringed I had to have an appointment with the nurse, cause it takes about ten minutes to get equipment set up and then a couple to actually do it, just stress the importance of it. And don't get the urge to poke anything down there, or you'll just compact the wax and make it worse!
Yeah you should be able to get the nurse at the local practice to syringe your ear(s) for you. My dad has to go every so often and he normally rings in advance but if you stress how important it is, they should be able to do it there and then
Still haven't finished packing. Everything is laid out ready but packing is so stressful. I start off all neat but usually get bored and throw stuff in. Given to Fly will tell you how neatly I pack stuff though. When our suitcases were inspected at the airport, mine was all neat

uuummm... I'd say straight to the posters... but I have Ulterior motives...

Posters or front - I don't know either. I could save you a space at the front, I'm not overly bothered about a poster so I could do that for you.
Haha yes wear James' Stone trousers. Would be funny!

Second! third actually, depends on how you look at it... don't remember a thing, it's all a blur, so it's like a first time!
