Updates from Twickenham

[ramblin rose]

There's a thread at Zootopia with the updates from today.

Summary:

There were already between 400 and 500 people in line by 9:30AM, there are now a lot more.

4500 will be allowed in the front area.

GA lines seem very well organized up to now.

Soundcheck included Zoo Station, Mysterious Ways & ISHFWILF

That GA organisation sounds really good, hope they keep this up in Cardiff!

They've also soundchecked New Years Day

 

[djerdap]

Well, I guess we won't be gettin' any Crumbs today...

Probably not, as the show is being Broadcast on Radio.

Doubt you will be getting any crumbs on this tour.
They are persisting with too many inferior songs.

I think we will see it.
They have reharsed it a couple of times on this leg. It probably wont be a first night, so it could be tommrow not, it could be later on this leg, or tour, or not at all.

[ramblin rose]

Seems some people have had to be carried out from the lines on stretchers due to the heat.

 

[neutral]

great

Guess the Chicago weather wasn't so bad after all.

 

[ramblin rose]

Doves are on stage.

I hope they have water available for them (I think the e-mail from the venue person said they would) and that people remember to drink plenty of water.

If you're out in the heat you need to keep drinking water, even if you're not thirsty anymore

However, pretty soon the queues to the WC's will build up pretty massively

Well, at least you know if you have to go, you're probably not dehydrated

Heat sickenss isn't fun though , it happened to me once and it feels awful

Is this the setlist party or what?

 

[Rono]

Hi

 

[AtomicBono]

Are we having a setlist party?? I love setlist parties. I'm going through setlist party withdrawl. If someone doesn't make a setlist party soon then I WILL!!

 

[*browneyedgirl*]

When I was standing in line for Star Wars around 1977, I fainted when I got into the lobby, and then got right back up and saw the movie. We had waited so long outside in like 90 degree heat. It's the only time that I've ever fainted in my life. Thanks for all the info too.

 

[*browneyedgirl*]

AtomicBono, I love your avatar. Is that what it's called? I'm so new at this.

 

[ramblin rose]

The show is going to start and there's no setlist party thread.

 

[AtomicBono]

AtomicBono, I love your avatar. Is that what it's called? I'm so new at this.

Yeah it's an avatar, and thanks

ramblin rose, I can't stand this. I don't know what's the matter with people today, but I'm going to have to make a setlist party thread.
