Well I thought it was time someone started one of these ... and hopefully Eddie will read or hear about this.

Also I'm tired of reading posts all over the place from sad / angry / annnoyed New Zullanders. :)

    If you want to make this petition work, you're going to need to create some noise....get some news stations or radios involved or something.

    There's a reason why he didn't go to NZ when he is so close....maybe it's because he won't make any money out of it....I don't know....but you're going to need something major to make him change his mind....and a little online FB petition isn't going to do it....imo.

    The tour's only just been announced. There is plenty of time for NZ dates to be slotted in but you'll have to make an effort guys.

    As fomer Kiwi Rachael Hunter used to say in the Pantene ads ..

    "It won't happen overnight, but it will happen".

    hey man, i signed the petition. i even emailed the ten club and offered to pay for his flight (heh.. they didn't respond.. funny that). but look at the tight little line he's playing. if he doesn't play perth, he won't play nz.

    I'll do what I can, Its hard though because I have extremly dodgy internet connection at the moment, I'm lucky if I can get online at all.

    So you can pay for his flight to NZ from the States but you can't pay for your flight to Australia?

    I can't believe you emailed 10c and said that! :lol:

    Not from the States. I'd pay for his Cessna flight from Aussie.

    But actually I wouldn't do that either, but ... eh. They won't even have read my soppy email.

    If you won $1,000 tomorrow, would you definitely come?

    Killer thread!

    Agree wholeheartedly, online petitions ain't gonna do it...

    It mystifies me as to why he's not coming (try and make sense out of that sentence)

    I just can't seem to figure it out...

    I'm sure he could easily sell out a venue here like the civic

    or is that just my biased thinking and maybe they don't think it would be financially viable?

    i'm keen as to fight for the cause tho

    it makes no sense. bands like camera obscura who are multiple people with far less popularity come to nz and play small venues... but they come back. wilco play here every five seconds. rufus wainwright played chch, welli and auckland..

    why eddie? why? it can't be about the money

    Maybe Ed had a falling out with The Finns?

    I've noticed Liam isn't supporting this time around.

    Hmmm

    I know its probably not gonna work but I just like to start things like this so that I dont one day think "I should have at least tried"

    Anyway Its fun for me to do!
    :D

    And I'm still trying to figure out why he isnt coming here, it just seems weird as he's always going on about New Zealand it seems. If I could just get a reason as to why he isnt then I'll stop bugging Chugg and Ten Club :lol:
