Astorians with tickets

Housing Jim

I just spent the best part of the last hour watching Hard-Fi live on E4.

I normally wouldn't put myself through such an ordeal but it was filmed at the Astoria.

.....man, that place is smaller than I remember. The whole standing section can't be more than 30 people wide to the back

Does anybody have solid confirmation that the show starts at 8pm? i keep reading it and it doesn't seem right.... if it starts at 8 why are they opening doors earlier than usual? because its thursday and G-A-Y? so how come primal scream played there last thurs, doors opened at 7.30 AND there was support?

Your right it is a 'small' venue. You can stand anywhere in the Astoria and still be guaranteed to see the whites of Vedders eyes. I'm gonna try and sneak my digital camera inside as It will be a great photo opportunity. Not that I'll be concentrating too much on that, but It would be good to wake up the next day wih a few quality pics and a bit of footage.

Not celebrating yet... but just "won" the latest ebay auction...

If I get the face value tickets as well I'll work out the average value of the 3 and sell the other two on night, probably be £150...

Not parting with any money til I see the ticket this time though!!

Then why come home?

Hardly slept a wink... dreamt PJ came for a secret rush gig in Israel and I had tickets but slept late and missed the bus and the whole show!!

Those 5 minutes after waking up were dreadful!
I kept thinking, yeah, I have Astoria, but they were HERE and I missed them!!!

Thank god, I'm not the only one beset with dreaming of Pearl Jam every night at the moment. It's strange, but ever since I first started watching dvd's, and downloaded footage from the P.C of PJ appearances and interviews, Vedder has been a regular addition to my nocturnal dreamworld pantheon. He made an appearance again last night and no doubt will do so every night until Thursday. (By the way, he seems like a nice fella! He he).

Let's say that took almost 2/3's of the sting out of it.... just had to secure 1 ticket, will keep after the face value ones though so that they can be shared out!!

Hope you feel better by Thursday. Just yesterday I imagined what it would be like to get the flu or something the day before.
By the way, judging from your pic, it would be a shame if we were deprived of seeing such a pretty face on Thursday : )

I must stop spending money on this band! I just purchased another boot. :eek: Will have no money for next week at this rate.
