    Did you (kiwi) guys see the announcement about Eddie touring? I quickly scrolled down to the dates and my eye caught "New Zealand" and I almost flipped thinking he was heading down here. As if...

    i'm pretty excited that liam finn is playing support. maybe ed will return the favour on liam's next nz tour. hey, stranger things have happened! ( yes yes, dream on)

    (and on that other thing, well, of COURSE i don't count pearl jam shows among shows i will never regret missing, coz with pearl jam i know for sure i'd miss something incredible... but i'd never miss them if they played here, knock on wood, so it's not a regret i ever expect to have to live with:) )

    No, it won't be quite the same but that's no reason not to go.

    Anyone get their special edition poster book yet? I got my ITW vinyl, but the book still hasn't come!

    No book or vinyl here!

    eeee.... I'm wondering about SP tickets... 120 bucks is a lot of money when you have none to begin with. And I'm not a huge fan, but still, it's the pumpkins an' all....

    10 years - yesterday & tomorrow - since pj played nz.

    how does that make us all feel?

    happy? sad? old? ignored?

    or all of the above.


    (no book here yet either man)

    Mostly sad, that they've been so close on two occasions but didn't come here. I know we won't miss out again next time but still...

    I was going to have a party and play the bootleg etc but I don't think it exists. Does anyone have a recording on the 98 shows? I think I have (had?) a copy of the 95 show(s) but the quality is terrible and some parts are missing.

    the nz 98 shows are possibly the rarest boots in the pj universe. they're not in that thread, this thread - or anywhere else for that matter. do they even exist? that's why it's kind of amusing to me that pj haven't played here since they started doing their own boots. coz it means nz pj recordings are still seemingly non-existant.
    it's nice to be rare.
    but i'd rather not be!

    I'm not sure, but I think that was me! Did I meet you while you were waiting out back to see Mike? And then later I saw you inside and you had gotten your photo taken with him?

    Otherwise, I did meet you anyway. I'm pretty sure I went for a big mission before the gig to find something for dinner. Was it fush and chups? I can't remember 100%.

    Edit: I can confirm that is probably was me :D

    Anyone got their Limited Edition book yet? Getting a bit worried to be honest. But as long as no one has theirs then it's not too bad... If it was just mine it'd be a problem.
