Weather forecast is looking promising.... Fine but not too hot.

I'm thinking mid afternoon too. a friend likes The Hives & while I don't know them at all I'm trusting him that they're maybe worth checking out & I'm kinda figuring to check out all the bands on the main stage from then.

You'll enjoy the hives. They're sassy as hell.

doompony

OK. It's decided. I want to hear Sad more than anything.

Hey folks, just wanted to say I'm pumped for Friday too... I'm popping over from OZ to celebrate turning 40 and couldn't wait for the Oz shows or the crowds. I'm Lukin forward to kiwi singalongs, thrashin out some Corduroy, a few new songs, a couple of Ed's ukelele tracks and plenty of well ripened material with all the great memories from the greatest band on the planet and fables of my youth. I had to go to this extreme to get my wife along but would be sublime if Neil Finn joined the boys for a classic rendition of throw your arms as recentlly recorded - even she would enjoy that.

My name was duska3419 before the board changed. I wasn't planning on being there all day, more like mid afternoon - BUT I do have a kiwi phone number and a bunch of unused texts. So. Yea.

Even if we end up there too early, it sounds like western Springs is a more pleasant venue than Mt smart

Yep, way nicer than Mt Smart! Lots of green space, even at the venue, besides the park next door which we won't actually have access to once we've gone into the stadium, still, not horrid industrial area like Mt Smart.

HURRAY!

Also - FIVE DAYS TO GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Two days at work and then BOOM.

doompony

Currently the weather forecast is for rain. *tugs collar nervously *

doompony

THREE DAYS TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To celebrate I'm going to go to work! HURRAY!

C'mon Auckland, c'mon weather gods, show the PJ guys & 10c peeps some good weather! Get this cloudy, threatening rain shit outta the way.

Myluckyhand

I reckon the weather will be awesome!!! No need to worry

doompony

Now it says it's gonna rain in the morning... And then windy? That could be worse

Myluckyhand

Nah nothing to worry about

doompony

I AM NOW ON LEAVE! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*sits quietly*

So stoked. Txt tree sounds great. Doom_pony how will I recognise you? No banner this year?

I'll probably head in mid/late afternoon, really only going to see Pearl Jam. Would love to hear Little Wing, CoT, Daughter/It's Ok, Love Boat Captain, Baba O'Reilly. Rats anyone?

morello

Yay re being on leave already DP.

My plan at this stage is to get there in time to see The Hives. I was wondering if people wanted to meet somewhere for lunch(late lunch perhaps) before heading to Western Springs although there's not really anywhere good that close to WS. Anyway we can perhaps work out a plan at the pre-party on Thursday.
