Now, Vlad.

The end of high school is generally celebrated through the consumption of a disproportionate amount of alcohol.

I can only hope that you will be indulged in a tipple or two.

And Kvass does not count.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Bonnie, your inbox is full!

And yes, Cobbler, I hope it doesn't seem as I'm completely repulsed by alcohol as I've been at least mildly drunk before. I wouldn't mind having a bit.

 

[cobl04]

well fuck, that's turned my world upside down.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I didn't think my opinions on alcohol had that much bearing on your life.

 

[liamcool]

Quick get all of the fat men in the world to Denmark!

 

[The Sad Punk]

Sorry, Vlad! Deleted some. Gosh, I should probably get prem sometime.

Are you going to Victor Harbor?

Port Elliot.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Close enough! You can still go to Greenhills Adventure Park on the way, and that's all that matters.

Have fun, don't get too drunk, meet a lovely lady and rock out to some bad live music!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

The festival actually starts on the 16th! And we've chosen not to go to the festival, rather just relax in a decent house, go to the beach (weekend's weather is pretty perfect for this), have picnics and perhaps have dinner at a pub if possible. I like that arrangement better than being around a shitload of people with shitty live music.

 

[Axver]

Wow, U2.com have again put a modicum of effort into their "gift" for subscribers.

... but given that the gift is pretty much the sole reason to subscribe, that's a pretty bloody pricey CD. So yeah, I still don't give a shit.

(I figure it was best to say this here rather than risk a shitstorm on EYKIW.)

 

[bono_man2002]

It is actually a decent package!

This made me laugh.

Zoo2Live Double Live CD Set
(U2 Live in Sydney on 1993 ZOOTV Tour) - While Stocks Last

Listen to something that has been out on VHS or DVD for the last 18 years!

Just what I've always wanted!

 

[Axver]

I know summer's coming, since I'm reacquainting myself with Stick Sports.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Listen to something that has been out on VHS or DVD for the last 18 years!

They got a fair bit of recorded stuff from that time and they keep on pimping Sydney. The hell is going on over there.

 

[Axver]

Didn't you know, there was actually only one ZooTV concert!

... at least, that's all Adam can remember any more.

Neil Finn and Paul Kelly front row centre yesssssss.

No thanks to Ticketmaster, which just could not understand that I have a new credit card with the same number but different expiry to the one saved on the system. Ran the timer down to forty seconds before I managed to fix it and get the tickets. That was a bit stressful.

Man, February next year is going to be fucking epic. Laneway, then Stars, then All Tomorrow's Parties, then Finn/Kelly, all within a fortnight. I'm excited already.

How much are tickets?

 

[Axver]

INXS call it quits | theage.com.au

Finally!

Oh thank god. What a weird last gig though.

How much are tickets?

Too much. Good ones are $119; not so good ones $99.

Finally!

Hmm. We'll see how long they last... Maybe they've invested more wisely this time and won't need to squeeze any more cash out of INXS.

damn, I think I'll pass, as good it'll be.

Maybe they'll do a hologram reunion tour with John Farnham one day?

Seriously I've always liked INXS. That JD fortune guy was good, he was a douche but his voice suited the band. The new guy I didn't like so much. (That much I actually skipped INXS all together at the second matchbox show!)

Down 51.5 lbs and 4 inches around the waist in 13 weeks.

Yeah ... if it were cheaper, I'd be annoyed I can't go to the 16/02 show because of a clash, but as it is, I can only afford the 18/02 show anyway!

 

[LemonMelon]

Sent some Disinfectant Trifecta demos to some tiny labels tonight. Might be interesting to see what comes of it. I could have sent out a thousand submissions tonight, guys, but it's terribly repetitive.

 

[Axver]

Ooh, good luck!

 

[cobl04]

Send it to Merge, become friends with Dan Bejar, and tell him to tour Australia.

 

[LemonMelon]

Tried. Merge doesn't accept unsolicited demos.

The largest label I could send music to was Secretly Canadian, which is great because they're like five hours from my house.

Anyone wanna go see Stars @ the corner? Another gig I'm considering that I won't end up attending!

Charlotte and I will be buying tickets the moment they're on sale.
