i hope they know it's winter down under...
I was thinking the same thing.
Hey, are there any other Aussie boardies going to shows this week? I mean Juniperberry and I can't be the only ones...and I don't go on the JC either. Come on peoples, where are you?!!
I feel like I should make them something, as a gift to give to them, but I'm just not that creative. Oh well, thy're just gonna have to make do with me screaming "OMG, TIM IS TEH COOLEST!"
4 days! I'm shaking with excitement!
I'm wondering where the aussie boardies are too... we need more excitement here!!!!
I want to make them a gift too but i'm so busy this week. It's actually really silly to be going to two gigs on the weekend before assessment week... but it's OK GO so i guess it's all good. I better get in. I'm sacrificing my education just to see them, it's not gonna be very pretty if they try and keep me out!!
5 days for meee!!!!
i hope they know it's winter down under...
I don't know if it will help, but here's my take on it. I definitely think OK Go is a better bet for that night because a) it's in a smaller, more intimate venue and
ETA: Grrr... code. That is not supposed to be an emoticon up there. It's supposed to denote my point B.
Giggleguy is Australian too. And I bet there are a lot of lurkers.
You're going to have an awesome time, guys- eee, so exciting! oo, and you could teach them Aussie slang- I bet they'd love that!
But it'll be so damn worth it! Oh, my thoughts and prayers go out to you, I so hope you can get in! How strict are they usually about ID's anyway? And if you can't get in, do you have a back up plan? Haha. Like hang around the back and wait for them to come out? Or perhaps a *whispers* fake ID?
With that being said, I'll stop whining now.

Come on peoples! Get in here!
Oh, I would try but I'd probably be too embarassed to talk to them properly. It'd probably be like "PICTURE! SIGN THIS!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! BYEEE!!!"
In other news, the support band has been announced. They are a Perth based band (all good Aussie bands come from Perth, or at least a lot of them anyway) called The Dirty Secrets.
ok, my back up plan is a long winded and angry speech including many "f*ck you"s
i was just going to ask who the back up band was today but now we know! i'm going to check out their myspace. hope they're good!
yes, please come and join in!!! it'll be so much more exciting!!!
ahaha aussie slang, i don't even realise that some words are slang and then i wonder why people don't understand me
Fuck.
Why did they have to make it 18+?? It's so unfair, after all that time waiting, you'll still miss out!
We have made some OK Go tour posters to promote their Australian tour and so far there have been no takers on this challenge on the juggling club. If you haven't checked out the flyer challenge there, do so now, because you get 200 points for each area that you post flyers in. If you are not part of the juggling club but would like to help support the tour, click on either of these links,.jpg flyer or .pdf flyer, to print the flyers. We really want your help with this tour as OK Go has never toured Australia before. Please post as many flyers as you can and we hope to see you at some of the shows!
Power of positive thinking Juniperberry! Um, I wish I had something supportive to say, but I'm not too good with the words, so I'll just give you a hug too!
Crap, now I feel super guilty for being so excited. Buuuut ...
*small voice* two more sleepies to go! YAY!
Hmmm... am off to the JC to see what this challenge is all about ...
aww don't feel guilty!!! its not your fault just embrace it because you can
ok two sleeps now, not that i'll be sleeping. i haven't slept properly in the last week because of all this sillyness
It's me, Damian, in Australia. We're getting ready for a short little tour here, which is exciting because, like absolutely everyone, I'm super into marsupials, and it's a rare chance for a boy like me to watch the toilet flush backwards.
That's from their MySpace bulletin. How exciting is that? I wonder which city they're in at this very moment... Anyways, I really don't get this fascination with marsupials. They're evil little blighters that run on your roof at obscenely early times in the day, waking you up! But, whatever.
Eeeergh! 26 more hours!
How awesome is it that they're actually in the same country as us right now!!??
I can almost feel them
I'm having these crazy giant mood swings atm, one minute i'll be bouncing off the walls and the next i'm crying. argh!
Ooo i should pop a few flyers up around school, the only problem is that most of the people there are under 18...
OH BRAINWAVE! If i can collect a big enough army of fans then we can storm the forum without any need for fake IDs and emotional breakdowns!!!!!!
I'm gonna print some flyers off right now!
OK Go played in MA a few times last year. And most of the shows were around the Com Ave area, where I live. However, all of the shows they played in the area were 21+.
So yeah- I couldn't go. There they were, down the streeeeet from me, and I couldn't go. This happened over and over.
So in Feb, I went to their first all-ages show that was reasonably close- all the way in RI, another state.
And after I posted about the show, a girl who was 15 years old- 15!!!- posted about how this was like her seventh show of the year, as she'd gone to all the ones in MA.
That kind of stunned me, and I realized I had missed very real opportunities to see them. And I regret that a lot.
So my advice is, go, go, go! Borrow a cousin or older sibling's ID-- make one or buy one if you must! I don't even care that I'm advising you to do something illegal, because I really, really don't want you to miss the opportunity like I did.
Play it cool, act natural and go guys, go!
I'm trying to stay positive, i mean, if they don't believe me there's always bribing
omg LolaBert, you're going tonight!!!!!
Hope you have a blast!!!!
I'm going to wait to see if you get in Juniperberry! I so hope you do! *fingers crossed*
But I have pictures!
And a ridiculously long LJ entry!
It's tonight!!!! I wonder if the boys will wear jeans for genes day
How are you gonna sit through school today?! Haha, I have lectures that I really don't want to go to.
I haven't slept in over 30 hours (!)
Luckily i have a free first today, so i can get some coffee and fridays are always shorter
were there many people there last night?
omg did you get to meet them?
