AND the missing track is Bad, of all the songs it could have been.

AND I cannot convince the internet to yield up a map of how to get to the sodding museum!! *headasplode*

Let me see if I can help you on the Bad front.

A D2 class tram cresting the bridge/taking flight. Note its destination: LONSDALE STREET. Not only is it heading in the completely wrong direction away from the CBD, but LONSDALE STREET DOESN'T HAVE A TRAM LINE.

Also, the building in the background with the balconies is the hotel I stayed at when I came to Melbourne to see U2 in 2006 before I moved down here. Fucking handy to the gigs! Didn't even plan it that way - just good luck.

I would imagine that Lonsdale St does intersect with a tram-equipped street at some point...

We were in a hotel right on Spencer St at that intersection... that was awesome. And planned

Oh, and the last of the tram photos I uploaded in my latest batch.

Definitely one of my favourite tram photos. A D2 on the LaTrobe Street bridge with the Melbourne CBD in the background.

I did try that, but I broke it when I asked it to show me a map of where the IMAX is. It suggested I go to Whitepages (or Yellowpages, same diff), and I looked up the entry for the Museum... NO MAP. Maps of Scienceworks at Spotswood, maps of the Immigration museum, but not the main bloody one.

ARGH.

Maybe if I search for the Carlton Gardens....

wow...your streets are so clean!

Spencer, William, Elizabeth, and Swanston all do. Maybe Spring; I know the line around there does something funky though and I'm never in that part of the city.

But no matter what, none of them are equipped as a terminating point! So who knows. It cracked me up. I like to spot odd destination boards/route numbers.

 

[Alisaura]

I don't think that was its name, but I can't really remember now. The one on the southeastern corner of the Spencer/LaTrobe Street intersection.

Wow. I think we were in the same place.

 

[Axver]

OK, Ali, my 21/08/01, London boot has Bad as the 14th track. Want me to send it?

 

[Alisaura]

Surely not from the U2 gig?

No, there just happened to be a totally different large crowd of people in pens hanging around when I took that...

Can't see (m)any obvious U2 t-shirts, so it could be true!

 

[Axver]

wow...your streets are so clean!

Here's just a regular suburban street, a couple of minutes from my place.

Wouldn't surprise me really, I imagine there were plenty of U2 fans staying there.

My mother didn't go to the gig but said she could hear it from her room.

It's all the wind. You should see the places where the wind speed dies down and all the suspended leaves/rubbish fall out...


I kid.

This is Hope Street in Brunswick West. I like the cobblestones.

WOW NO TRAMS IN THE PHOTO.

Somehow they fit a bus route down there though. Hate to think what happens when the bus wants to go one way and a car's coming in the other direction ...

I just tried it again and it worked.

Thanks anyway!

I just saw Jen posted a whereis link. Looks like the electronic universe is out to make me look like a complete fuckwit tonight. Thanks, electronic universe.

HEY LOOK IT'S WHERE U2 PLAYED!

Haha! You should see some of the twisty-arsed narrow streets in England that you see cars parked on each side of, and THEN you see DOUBLE-DECKER BUSES whizzing down them at speed. Those are REAL bus drivers...!

Melbourne University's most useless staircase. Probably designed by a Monash architect. Seen in the Brownless Medical Library. Unfortunately, you can find the colour brown there. Probably again the fault of the Monash architect.

sorry the dork was directed at axvers sarcasm at my suggestion to use where is !

Hey, why am I copping flak here! I said nothing at all about using whereis!

I wonder if you'd get a decent recording from outside a venue? Less crowd noise perhaps....

 

[mysterious_jen]

this reminds me to get my own freaking directions ready !!
