The Gabba, Brisbane Superthread

Street Mission is great. Outvoted, Alison.

I concur. I just died a little inside when I equated queercore with U2.

 

[Axver]

Haha. I've seen some people argue that a lot of Boy has queer undertones. Apparently U2 had quite the gay fanbase back in 1979-80.

 

[Reggo]

I read that in The Big Boring Book. It just cracked my shit up cause U2 and Pansy Division couldn't be more different.

 

[bono_man2002]

I am shocked that U2 did not play Bad on the UF tour of Australia. What-the-TUF?

 

[Axver]

I remember an epic argument back in the day on EYKIW about whether or not Twilight was about homosexuality.

Wouldn't get that sort of quality discussion any more.

 

[Reggo]

I'm inspired to listen to Boy on repeat and file a blog entry for John's blog on the gayness of Boy.

 

[Axver]

Speaking of John, I haven't seen him around in AGES.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I think I'm really warming to the EYKIW-is-a-messed-place-and-I-should-never-go-there train of thought.

The Under Australian Skies Tour?

I was at the first Sydney concert (looking back they were "interestingly disorganised" and either the third or 4th.)

Old

 

[Axver]

I love that one of the Melbourne shows on that tour opened with the first ever performance of Wire.

How to make the 360 Tour better: OPEN WITH WIRE.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

They should retire.

 

[Axver]

I think you mean that they should re-Wire.

c wot i did thar

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Yes.

 

[coolian2]

i miss 2008/09.

can we re-invigorate that formula to get our roll back on?


ps ax, char....you're welcome!!




/exhausted and one mouthful of wine later

 

[Axver]

Damn straight we can.

But right now, why are we even up, Ian, that's what I want to know! This is futility.

 

[Axver]

Hello vodka, my old faithful friend of futile late-nighters. How you carried me through last year's Aussie election!

 

[Axver]

Damn. New Zealand bow out in the semi-finals again. Valiant effort though, and a great game with a remarkable fightback to almost snatch a miracle win. Now here I am at 4am, oh god!

Pretty much the only thing that would make me last through an election, I think

 

[coolian2]

damn, i did not last long after that post.

best sleep i've had in forever though. bring it on wednesday!

 

[bono_212]

INTERNET!!!!!

What we don't have, is the Brisbane game . Don't have this week's either .

ESPN3 fail?

 

[cobl04]

I was homeridden the Saturday night of the election coverage after having surgery and despite being hopped up on endone (the best non-mindaltering drug ever? i think so!!!) I still couldn't watch it.

Haha. I've seen some people argue that a lot of Boy has queer undertones. Apparently U2 had quite the gay fanbase back in 1979-80.

I think you can make the argument. It's kinda cool that you can. I used to think Twilight was about paedophilia.

 

[Axver]

damn, i did not last long after that post.

best sleep i've had in forever though. bring it on wednesday!

Weak effort!

I'm surprised I don't feel totally murdered today. Thank god, because today is one of the two days per week when I absolutely need to be able to think clearly.

 

[bono_212]

Travis and I just made a pizza (pic on Facebook) and oh my God, it's sexy as hell.

I'm also currently making corn muffins. This is a night of so much win.

 

[Axver]

Mmm pizza.

 

[bono_man2002]

Serious case of CBF's today.

 

[Alisaura]

Hey, Alison...

Heh, I'm halfway through the stretching of WhoScarf and...well, I just wanted to make sure...erm...You--you wanted a 5-metre scarf, right?

Uh... sure I did...

As long as I can fit it in my suitcase, it's all good.

Street Mission is great. Outvoted, Alison.

Hardly a comprehensive survey. I dare you to post a poll in EYKIW...

 

[Alisaura]

The Under Australian Skies Tour?

I was at the first Sydney concert (looking back they were "interestingly disorganised" and either the third or 4th.)

Old

Jealous!

Huzzah! and boo at the same time.

I was homeridden the Saturday night of the election coverage after having surgery and despite being hopped up on endone (the best non-mindaltering drug ever? i think so!!!) I still couldn't watch it.

How did I forget that you had an operation last year...?

That drug must have altered something if you were hopped up on it...

I'm surprised I don't feel totally murdered today. Thank god, because today is one of the two days per week when I absolutely need to be able to think clearly.

Time to get the footy tips in...?

Serious case of CBF's today.

That was me yesterday. And then for some reason I got to work before 8am today, wtf.

 

[bono_man2002]

I was 15 minutes late
