    Nothing wrong with computer nerds!!! They come in handy when you press a button you shouldn't have, and sit there for hours, saying horrible things to your computer to get it to work, and then give up and start pleading with it to "please baby, I didn't mean what I said...please just work!!!".....hehe


    I was always gunna get a tattoo, but am a bit scared of the pain factor - I have the ability to design something really cool (I am an artist after all), but the pain factor is putting me off....

    Pain shmain.

    I have a number of tattoos (upper arms, chest, finger) and I've never found the pain unbearable. I do have a fairly hight tollerance to pain (I was once married to a sucubus) but it is one of those things you just grit your teeth and you're fine.

    :shock:


    Well, I have experience childbirth (which is probably THE most painful thing EVER), but still......I am thinking my shoulder would be good - I got a fake tat when I was last at Dreamworld, and it looked SO COOL! So, I really might.....
  • Actually, if yuo look at it like childbirth you'll be fine - in that, once it starts you just have to see it through to the end becasue you know it will end. And getting a tattoo would be no-where near as painful - but then again, yuo don't get a spinal block for a tat ;) . Breaking bones, getting burnt, dislocating a bone, gall bladder pain etc is all far more painful than a tattoo.

    Yea, nice avatar and I bet your misses loves it. :lol:
    How are you going to have a pre-party at The Brisbane, when you are off getting merch for everyone and stashing it somewhere safely and guaranteed personaly by you ? You'll be far too busy to join us. 8-)
    And I do believe someone here put thier hand up to Keep Your Spot while you do all of the above, thanks :D

    After a fantastic weekend my hair is sometimes dreadlocked.
    I have no Tatts.
    Sucubus is f*#@king hilarious.
    Childbirth???? don't get me started.
    I am wishing my life away for this concert. :mrgreen:

    My missus was not surprised at all when I got hat pic taken in LA. She'd have expected nothing less - the things you do on Hollywood Blvd. Although the next thing I did was have her name tattooed on my ring finger. That probably got me off the hook.

    No-one has taken my up on the merch offer and no word from 10c, so I figured that one was going to slide, although, my hotel is now 5 mins from the venue so I can stash it for people.

    Looks like I'll be seeing you all at the Brissy and then at the front of the 10c line :)

    Only got an epidural for one of the kids - went au naturale for one as well......so I suppose thinking of that analogy is a good one - once it starts you have to see it through.......Might have to start designing stuff..... ;)

    Yea, the front line scares me. I recon I will get a bunch of Big, Smelly, Sweaty, Tall Men push me out the way, and if I refuse to go, they are going to stand on me. I need tips on survival. thanks. :?

    That was kinda the idea of having 10c people meet somewhere first, get to know each other. If things go to plan and we're allowed in 15 mins before the rest of Fixer GA, then arriving together and helping each other out, before the line, once in the arena and then even holding spots while people do drink and dunny runs and we should be fine. I'm more than happy to stand a couple deep to allow smaller women (and my 11 year old) to be up against the rail.

    I doubt the pit will be anywhere near as insane as it was in the 90s at the Ent Cent.

    I reckon I might only be as tall as your 11 yr old - I know my 12 year old is taller than me!!!!

    Hmmm a drink or 10 before hand hey? ;) lol
  • every single day i go down beaufort street as part of my daily routine, for the past few days i've been thinking about the hoards of crowds that are going to be bursting out of all the bars down that street. I'll probably end up at brissy bar anyway since it's only a 3 min walk from my place, but i'm not going to drink before the show, otherwise i'll break the seal.

    I didn't get GA cause I'm too short and I don't wanna queue up for hours! I got reserved seating; E4, at the side. Is that pretty close to the stage?
