    Excellent! Thank you for that! This thread looks a bit dead ... Are there going to be more details re: the 10c meet up in each state?

    Volunteers are needed to help organise events in each state. If you can help in any way, please contact Princess Bulldozer :D

    Well I would be happy to help where I can ... im not really a "local" Melbournite though .... so not sure how much help I could be :D

    Happy to have help.
    I have my last exam ever for my undergraduate degree on Wednesday morning, so after that time I will be more available to get the ball rolling on a bunch of stuff.

    Don't worry about not knowing anyone, we will all be there and we are all friends and Jamily.
    We look after each other!

    Hi Simonster, I'll be at the Perth BDO and live in Perth. You can get to the Bonn Scott memorial statue at Fishing Boat Harbour, Fremantle by train. There is also a memorial gate for Bonn at Fremantle Cemetary on Carrington St - should be fine to get to by bus. I live 10 mins from Fremantle and happy to help out with any bus timetables etc. or if you want a drink or coffee buddy lemme know :)

    If anyone who plans on doing any travelling around NZ is going to be booking tickets on the KiwiRail Scenic Journeys website, it would be worthwhile to read the "how to buy tickets" section of this: http://www.seat61.com/NewZealand.htm#Christchurch%20-%20Dunedin%20-%20Invercargill

    A simple set of instructions just saved me $200. w00t!

    Sweeeet. Me and my mum are staying in a hotel just up the road so we'll probably come pretty early. Just heard that Mudhoney are playing a sideshow on the same night at Kings Arms so we'll probably come to the party then go check that out later on. Can't wait!!!

    Cool. Sounds good. Dunno that I'll go to Mudhoney's sideshow with seeing them as the support in the US a few times but drop by Father Ted's before, or on your way or whatever sounds great. :)

    What's the story with the pre-party? I deactivated my evil facebook some time ago... Also not 100% on when I'll be getting to Auckland if it'll be the night before or the day of BDO.

    Wow, the lineup keeps getting more odd! :shock: Primus are coming!! I've seen them live twice before but glad to see another great band added. ;) the other bands don't really do much for me personally.
