    Ive noticed some of us are getting 15 mins more pj than others! Very disappointed with Adelaides set up its tiny not much room for main stage and only one area for merch

    oh except some have PJ from 8 til 10.30. i hope we still get the same length show since that's 15 minutes longer than auck.

    yeah but in a good way. some of my favourite big day outs have been drifting from stage to stage looking for entertainment.

    this time. eyes on the prize. blue stage baby.
  • doomponydoompony Wellington, NZ Posts: 4,501
    to be honest - our stage names are better :)
  • doomponydoompony Wellington, NZ Posts: 4,501
    actually can't believe the fucking genius who named the blue stage "kowhai"? seriously?

    fun fact - i have a kowhai tree called kowhai ledbetter. sooooo yeah.

    Auckland folks is anyone considering parking up at the front of the blue stage for the day? I'm a BDO newbie so not sure how difficult it would be to a/ get there and then b/ stay there and c/ get out to loos and food/drink... I'm guessing a solid PJ group would be the only way? Thoughts?

    See you there :)

    Thing is we just don't know what the set-up's going to be with the new venue & all. Can you make it to the pre-party at Father Ted's in town the evening before? I'm sure we'll be sussing strategies there.

    Yep I'm flying up from Welly after work so will be there by 9, hopefully still going strong then! The flyby gives a pretty good lay of the land, although they have talked about different D-barrier set-up whereas it looks the same from what I've seen?

    I'm probably not going to be there all day. It can be incredibly hot at Western Springs and being on the front row waiting for 8+ hours with no shade is not my idea of fun haha. I have issues with being in the sun for too long, I really want to be at the front, so badly, but I can't be up there waiting all day. I'll pass out. I hope I can still get to the front without killing myself :(

    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

    The d barrier may be our biggest issue.

    Does anyone know someone who works for BDO or Campbell what's his face? Joe?

    @lostrocker I know your pain. I got sunburned again. Which amazes me cuz it was raining!!

    I'll bring a pen to father Ted's so we can draw up a game plan! I like this PJ group idea. But I doubt I'd be able to survive 8+ hours in front of the stage waiting for pj.

    is there a group of 10c peeps meeting up at the gold coast venue and sticking together? or will this be planned at the pre party?

    Also any suggestions about getting there from brissy im considering driving but am unsure about the parking set up, i assume public transport will be running back to bris after bdo finishes?

    The sun has actually been REALLY strong this year, more than usual I think. I was outside for about 2 mins yesterday and I could feel my black tattoos heating up. It was weiiiird.

    I'm getting everything ready for my trip to Auckland now, I'm even completely re-doing my hair for BDO, so if you see a girl with
    pink, green and blue hair, its ME. I've found it makes meeting new people at concerts easy, you cant miss me!

    Along with Kiwi Jammer I'm not going to be making it to Auckland till 9 (I wonder if we're on the same flight) - will the pre-party still be going then?
