    What a day!!!!
    Started off by going down to see Mark Richards so that I could get him to sign the email he sent (for verification) This man is an absolute legend!!! He was telling me that he spoke to Pearl Jam's tour manager about a Newcastle show and that he spoke to Ed 3 weeks ago and Ed thought that they were playing here. MR tells me that Ed doesn't really know what's going on with tour dates most of the time, he just goes wherever the bus/plane goes :)
    After that, me and my mate went around to local businesses and dropped in petitions for customers to sign and then we went to the local Austereo radio station in Newcastle and spoke to the promotions manager. The promotions manager was very excited about our proposition and told us that she would definately raise the issue at the managerial meeting on Monday.
    After we got home, we phoned the Newcastle Herald and they agreed to run a story in Monday's paper, and if the online petition reached 450 then they'd do a special feature on our campaign!!
    Just thought I'd keep you guys up to date

    GOOD WORK!!! We had to do that for 1 of their Perth concerts back in the 90's coz PJ weren't gonna come to Perth coz the Ent; Cent; wanted to charge too much for the tix....it worked!!!! The Perth Ent; Cent; lowered their price and PJ came!!! So go for it and keep up the EXCELLENT effort!!!! They've got enough time to fit you in.

    Has anyone been to a concert where they've had 3 (or more) people squeeze into the space of 2 people?

    If the second Brissy concert has 10c tix, I am going to use my membership to get my two tix (for Leigh and myself) and my sister's tix to get my little niece (who's 15 and a half) to come along...however none of her friends like PJ. (As you can see, I've trained her well obviously -- good taste!! :D) I was my niece's age when I first saw PJ in 1995 so I REALLY would love for her to come and experience her first big concert with me.

    However, she has no friends who want to go...and she's really small (has like a 12 year old's body). Would you mind if you were standing up and the two people next to you had a SMALL 15 year old standing up in front of them ie 3 people in the space of two? She could easily fit in. Her mum said she'd go (and her mum's only 36) but she reallllly would prefer to come only with me and Leigh....because her Auntie Sus is cool :cool:!

    But I don't know if 10c members near me would be cool -- or would be telling security "WE HAVE THREE PEOPLE HERE!!!"

    I would prefer a 10c only concert in Newcastle -- (but every member can take one person -- like all concerts. I want my boy to come too!!!)

    Keep up the good work!!!! :D

    Huskies are hard work -- have you had huskies before?

    I know two different people with huskies and if the gate is left open, they start running! It's inbred! And when both dogs were let out at the beginning(not sure if they still do this) they ran to the fence and started digging to try and get out!

    Just make sure you research whatever breed you are getting to make sure it is the right breed for your lifestyle....believe me, we got a Dalmatian after our last Boxer died! BIG DIFFERENCE!!! We never realised how two different breeds could differ so much in the amount of attention they needed, exercise etc. :) Not telling you what to do -- just make sure you can provide that dog with the level of attention or whatever it needs. We researched Dalmatians on the internet first -- it helped heaps.

    Tig you MUST ask what level of training the dogs have had before even considering this breed..... everyone loves Huskies but no one realise just how much work they are. If you go to the dog shelters, they are full of Huskies and Malamutes (sp?). These are dogs that need firstly a pack, and secondly strict routine.
    that means, you walk through doorways first. you are first to enter the car. you pick up their food after 20 minutes of putting it down..... they NEED a leader of a pack.
    also, when you are out walking you need to be able to control what their heads are doing. this would mean using a Gentle Leader which acts in the same way that a horse halter does.... they are an extremely unpredictable breed particularly if you dont know their history.

    can i suggest before getting into this, you go to http://www.petnet.com.au/selectadog.html first and do the online quiz.... this will give you a list of breeds that are entirely suited to you.... and (just as importantly) you are suited to them. do your research first.... you have to remember that this is about a 10 year commitment and there is a hell of alot to consider when choosing the husky breed... they DO NOT take to any change in routine very well

    sorry to go on a bit here, but this is something that i have quite alot of experience in and ive seen stuff you wouldnt believe. please PM me if you have any questions regarding breeds and their pros/cons, and about anything animalish in general.
    sorry again if this is a bit full on but i just want to make sure that you know exactly what your getting yourself into with this breed before you get them....

    peace
    megan

    if nothing is everything i would have it all
