    1 down 3 to go.

    That was pretty sweet. A setlist that def included all the classics and was nothing likewhat I expected. Nothingman was great (and a shock), Marker and SH sounded really good live - very impressed. As much as Im not a Gone fan, that went down really well. And Big Wave.....well that just rocks live.

    Kept my eye out and I swear I did not see one Life Wasted badge. Met Heyjose at the bar (recognised his head from his mugshot at LW). Tried to keep an eye out for others but wasnt as easy as I thought.

    Gimme Comatose tonite and Ill be happy (or happier)

    Got there at 7 pm. Had no probs collecting the 10C tickets but got my bag searched and was frisked. Had to throw out my packet of chewing gum. :rolleyes: Section c, row 14. Couldn't see a lot because of two tall dudes in front so was happy that they had screens up.

    Voice is hoarse, feet are a bit sore and still on a high from last night.

    Bought reduced price tickets at the venue, so going back for more on the 18th. :D

    Yeah I was stoked with my seats. Row HH (4th row) in the elevated section (Stones side) and about in line with 5-6th row on the dancefloor.

    Didnt even notice the screens till my mate pointed them out near the end of the concert. They were pretty much above my head.

    Crowd was good around me. All standing the whole way. I was jumping around a heap and so were the 3 or 4 lads in front of me so the vibe was really good.

    Screens is weird, are they are permanent thing at accer or did they look like part of PJ stuff.

    Wonder if there will be screens at the brissie show?

    Might help Zig see from her seats that a so far up the back she might as well be watching from the carpark

    I think they're probably a permanent thing at Acer ... and I was really happy they were there. I'm 5'5" and found it hard to see past two 6' + dudes in front. There were a few other girls behind me who looked disappointed cause they couldn't see the stage and ended up sitting down for most of the show.

    Yeah they looked permanent. Two big bastards hanging down from the roof. I honestly only watched them for about 5 secs - my view was that clear and close to the stage and plus they were pretty much above my head.

    Im at the back of the dancefloor tonite (my shit seat nite) so Im sure Ill get a lot of use out of them tonite.

    Its a damn big venue Ill tell ya that

    Yeah if they have them in brissie i'll never look at them, got my 10c for night one which hopefully won't be further back then 3rd row, and i gots front row for night 2 so it don't bother me either way if there is or isn't screens

    Thanks. Section 29 for the 18th so I'll probably be watching the screens all night. Anyway I'll still have a great time.

    I had an argument with the woman about the gum and she said something about gum being thrown and getting into people's hair.

    I had the camera hidden under a pile of tissues and she said what's under the tissues? I nearly had a heart attack and showed her my camera but luckily she said it was ok. My guy took most of the photos because he's taller than me but they aren't great because we had no zoom lens and were 14 rows back.

    If you're a shortish person and not in the first 10 rows you will definitely want the screens. Got to see Ed really close up because of them. :p

    Small hand held cameras are ok to take in. I had no problem with mine.

    Don't take along any chewing gum... it will get confiscated.

    Pissed off you couldnt take plastic beer cups in. I went to line up after KOL and the line just took ages. Finnaly gott to the front, got my two beers and as I was paying the announcement came on "PJ about to start". Necked one beer, left the other on the table and sat my arse down just as they came on stage.

    Interested to know if any other 10clubbers met each other.
    OZJammer did you have your orange tshirt on???

    I didn't meet anyone. Looked around for Lifewasted badges and saw nothing. Saw a dude with a "Show me your riffs" t-shirt on.

    hehe funny... did anyone hear ed on jay and the doctor this morning? Part 2 is on tomorrow morning. They were talking about pearl jam and and ed all morning pretty much. Briefly about the gig last night and how the doctor (lindsay) was a huge obsessed fan when he was younger (like us!) but now not as much because he is in a punk band blah blah blah... They played Animal from Melb 1995 (that triple j broadbcasted show) aslo. Pretty cool seeing PJ doesnt get much coverage on JJJ anymore. Lok out for part 2 Thursday morning.

    Very interesting interview all about carbon netural, american congressional elections etc. Good to see its not just all about pearl jam.

    WHAT? I missed it! That sucks. What time will it be on tomorrow?

    All drinks were decanted at the till and poured into cups. Bought some expensive water, left it on the floor for a few minutes, then got it knocked over as someone walked in past us to get to his seat. :rolleyes:

    I originally had my orange shirt on but then I bought an avocado tour shirt and put it on over the top of it :o


    Fuck i'm sore today. Swollen knees, ankles and no voice.

    Worth it though :)

    How cool were the PJ ponchos :)

    I took 3 bottles of water in my bag and security made me throw them when entering the pub. I know you couldnt take in beer and drinks of coke with lids and straws (like you get at Chew and Spew). So plastic bottles MAY be Ok - not too sure on that.

    I tried to memorise some faces from LW but couldnt spot anyone (let alone LW badges). Kept an eye out for Tommyphillips, Megan/Joel, OZJammers orange tshirt and all the other faces over at LW but no luck. Did briefly get to meet Heyjose at the bar but it all just went so quickly and so many people

    No wonder. There was a dude in the second row with an orange t on but he looked a lot older than I expect you would. The whole time I was thinking 'that better not be Rob in the second row the little shit'
