so adeliade is going to be the best show is it? if thats the case then I will have a few at the melbourne show, and stay sober for the adeliade show!

as for seeing people drunk, dont you have the rule what happens on tour stays on tour!

of course - especially when they have to carry you back to the hotel room .... and you cant remember what the bar you drank at the night before even looks like

i had one night, not sure what happend was at home drinking decided to go get pizza, next thing i know i am in the hospital! not proud of that one. or their was this other night i was drinking with a couple of mates, i remember the first couple of hours then i wake up on a bench at a train station

I really need to get to the States to see them at some smaller venues next year. These venues are really going to lack that spark, imo.

don't underestimate how long we kiwis have been waiting.. i remember clearly... vedder at the welli gig in 98 said "we'll see you... soon, i guess.."


WE BELIEVED HIM. granted he did come over for 7 world collide, but even that was over 8 years ago

i think nz will be full of atmosphere - and im pretty sure some extra special sets will be offered up because of that big wait

i hope so - usually nz shows by big bands feel like they're going through the motions and they don't really know where they are.

PLUS you bloody aussies got them .. in 2003? and 2006? wtf was up with that? it's a 3 hour plane trip!!! plus they mocked us in brissy - my bastard aussie friends in attendance thought that was hilarious and delighted in telling me.

I agree....it's bullshit!

Are you annoyed there are a lot of Aussies going to NZ for this tour?

not at all. if i wasnt' so scared of flying i could have jumped the ditch i guess. but i'm a big fan of australians. my ex lives in townsville actually.

btw I like your avatar, doompony!

thank you. i'm a ponycorn. i like putting unicorn horns on everything... it's a compulsion. my friend is in a band from nz based in melbourne and they were touring and i said i'd make them a poster to be printed and hung in offices and such... "what do you want, unicorn or panda?" and he said "both?" and i created these......

better remove his name lest he google himself and then mock me unmercilessly for my insane ramblings. though i suppose he'd be more used to them than anyone else...

Leigh was going on the other night about "you better be careful drinking on tour....you usually have friends with you when you get drunk etc etc".....I said "nahhh, I've got Lindy and others there...I'll be right". I better make sure he doesn't read any of these posts! lmao

So if anyone sees me passed out somewhere, don't take any photos as evidence!

i think we are going to need some little wristbands that say " if found, please call ******* " - and put the hotel we stay ats number on there perhaps ....
