Wanna win tickets to a super exclusive 18+ TLE album launch in Sydney? Join the mailing list at... http://fb.me/VmCXWr6O



This needs a new thread purely because I need to know who to mail my left leg to in order to get tickets.


What are we going to have to do to be a part of this? thoughts?

[Colezy]

Cool!

Wouldn't have a single clue about what will need to be done to enter it. Sounds exciting!

[Caity]

I'll enter if I can - I'll *find* a way to get flights to Sydney!!

[iplaythefool]

i.will.do.anything.to.get.to.this.!

[NowhereTown]

Wanna win tickets to a super exclusive 18+ TLE album launch in Sydney? Join the mailing list at www.theliv​ingend.com. We'll give you the scoop via email on Monday. Only a handful to give away!

Oh god this sounds like a good competition. Hope people that deserve it win and not just randoms.

[Mitch-PTV]

Just a confirmation: We dont have to keep re-signing up to the mailing list for these things do we. its the same list every single time TLE say to sign up yea?

[Colezy]

Correct!

Wonder if flights will be included :p Not likely.

[Colezy]

Tooooo late! Already a thread :p

Exciting news though!

[Mitch-PTV]

i have a feeling its gunna be randoms... and i really hope that i will be a chosen random.

[NowhereTown]

Why can't it be a forumer comp or something. That would be awesomer.

[Mitch-PTV]

i was gunna say that. we need offers just for forumers.

in saynig that, look at the comments on the TLE posts on facebook... do we really want to attract some of those people to the forums :ermm:

[May]

What are you saying Mitch? :p

[May]

I'll enter if I can - I'll *find* a way to get flights to Sydney!!

Ditto.
Though I suspect looking at this that I'll be away when the details on how to enter are announced... :(

[Caity]

Oh bugger :( it sounds awesome though!! I hope someone we know gets to go.

[Colezy]

Well, it says tickets. So if I win, you can come with me May :)

[Caity]

Oh thanks Nic :p yet again, May > Caity :p

[May]

Sweetness, you've met me, so you KNOW that's not true!! :p

And Nic - shucks! - wouldn't say no, but equally, Ms Caity would poss enjoy it too :)

[Colezy]

Sucked in Caity :p

I actually think I'd need to run my own competition to work out who I'd take! I'd be everyone's best friend until the winner was chosen and then all the losers would hate me :p

[Caity]

Bwahahaha that's like when Kristen got the Golden Ticket.

My biggest thing would be flights :( even if I won, I'd have to find an easy $500 for flights let alone accommodation (though I'm sure I could hassle a few of my ex-Sydney friends for a couch)

I reckon if any of us people from out of Sydney won it, we'd find a way of making it!!



Also - why is it in Sydney when TLE are based in Melbourne?

[May]

Ahhh the golden ticket!... :D

Would be good to see that again *hint hint cough Rae cough*

[Jessii]

Sucked in Caity :p

I actually think I'd need to run my own competition to work out who I'd take! I'd be everyone's best friend until the winner was chosen and then all the losers would hate me :p

If i won, i wouldn't be taking a Perth person, because i would not want Kelby to find out *shudders*

[Jessii]

Oh god this sounds like a good competition. Hope people that deserve it win and not just randoms.

I enter shitloads of competitions all the time, due to when i was unemployed for a year and bored all day. Whenever i see a TLE themed one (can remember there were tooonns back during the White Noise tour) i post them on here straight away hoping a real fan will win it... unlike some of the awesome ones in the past where the prize was on ebay straight away grr.

[NowhereTown]

Golden ticket? [/n00b]

[Sarah]

I remember the golden ticket cos Kristen won and gave me a couple :p But I can't remember what she had to do to win it...?

golden ticket = ticket to every TLE gig

[Sarah]

oh and Sydney got the White Noise pre-album gig (at Oxford Art Factory) too

[Jessii]

Yeah Kristen shared the Perth ones with me :)
What year was that again?

[May]

2004/5 - Whenever they did the Rolling Stones gig...

[Caity]

Yeah I got use of it for the Cairns gig. I forget as well, what did she (all of us who entered) have to do to win it?

[Kacky]

I read this as 18+, as in super exclusive release of TEIJTBR with 18+ tracks :p

[iplaythefool]

I read this as 18+, as in super exclusive release of TEIJTBR with 18+ tracks :p

sounds quite good to me

[Kacky]

Lets dream big, shall we?

[NowhereTown]

I read this as 18+, as in super exclusive release of TEIJTBR with 18+ tracks :p

I wish! That would be very exclusive

[iplaythefool]

i see no harm whatsoever in dreaming big.

[Kacky]

I wish! That would be very exclusive

Yeah, I got all excited (should have read the whole thread title first) but then I realised it was for the album launch. Ah well, already working hard and saving for my next adventure :p

[Macccca]

2004/5 - Whenever they did the Rolling Stones gig...

meeeemories. something something memories

Kristen was awesome with her sharing of her golden ticket :)
I still owe her a drink for my BDO ticket

(K- If you ever read this, I havent forgotten and am willing to offer 2 drinks as interest :P)

[Anfony]

oh and Sydney got the White Noise pre-album gig (at Oxford Art Factory) too

Yeah thats what I was thinking this may be similar to...Thats where my mate and I ran into you if i remember correctly...we all had troubles getting in as there was no list. lol.

[Shadow]

Hey, us Melbournites get pretty spoiled:

Longnecks / Safety Matches / etc. shows and tours EXCLUSIVE to Victoria
Stray Cats secret support slot
Free AC/DC Lane gig (also filmed for DVD)
Grand Prix show
Festival Hall gig filmed for DVD
SOE Making Of DVD exclusive pre-release screening
Signings around the time of either each album release or major tour at JB...

...just a few of the various things Melbourne has been treated to in the past. Let Sydney (and cities in other states... it's certainly been a while for our Tasmanian friends) have their turn, I reckon.

[NowhereTown]

What about little old adelaide, Andys home town? Why not have a album launch there. We got plenty of capable venues.

[Anfony]

Where's that? :confused:

[The Dying Start]

Why can't it be a forumer comp or something. That would be awesomer.

Like the Modern ARTillery Listening Party, that was awesome!

[NowhereTown]

Like the Modern ARTillery Listening Party, that was awesome!

Yes indeed, much like that.


I'm guessing this will tie in with the youtube stream thing?

[Jessii]

In 25 words or less, tell us why you deserve to go!

[NowhereTown]

http://media.dew-process.com/thelivingend.html

From the email, if anyone missed it...

I'm not even gonna bother entering, as there is no way i can afford to get over the Sydney, as much as would love to.

[Jessii]

I can afford to get to Sydney, but no clue what to put. I've won tons of 25 words or less comps, but drew a blank on this one.

[Anfony]

I entered, doubt that what I wrote is sufficient enough to win me tickets...Oh Well, I'll just watch it on youtube. I got tickets for Enmore anyways :)

[mattheal]

oh good spotting of the dates, its the same one thats going to be streamed

[The Dying Start]

Would be desperate to go, but can't afford the plane tickets with all the new house stuff going on. Gawddammit, screwed by my awesome life yet again.

[Mitch-PTV]

Entered :D hopefully its good enough!

[Kacky]

oh good spotting of the dates, its the same one thats going to be streamed

Kinda like Monday Night Live! Awful early morning start, but gunna be a good watch :happy:

[Anfony]

Kinda like Monday Night Live! Awful early morning start, but gunna be a good watch :happy:

I didnt win tickets for that either! Then I emailed them and asked for a ticket and they told me that they would have given me one if they had some left over! :pinch:I hope I get to goto this one.

[Amur]

Does this line "There will only be a few very lucky winners who take the cake in this competition" sound strange only to me? If there'll be only a few winners then who will be attending that event after all? :blink:

[Caity]

Industry bigwigs, family, friends etc.

[The Dying Start]

Mmm bigwigs.

[Anfony]

My theory is that they have about 200 to give away where they will pick the first 200 who entered or at random or who used a key word, I doubt someone is going to review each entry. I could be wrong...

[The Dying Start]

The keyword is meningococcal, but don't tell anyone.

[Anfony]

Damn I had a feeling it was gonna be schweinehaxen :( no tickets for me then.

[The Dying Start]

What a shame you based your entire entry around that and didn't slip in a bit of meningococcal for good measure.

[Jessii]

I won shitloads of The Rolling Stones stuff once, in a 25 words or less comp, with a one word answer hahaha.

[Macccca]

I just entered, didnt have much to say but im hoping my artistic skills will help get me selected.


by the way, alot of respect for the album cover after having to draw them all!

http://users.tpg.com.au/mcken/tlesmall.jpg

[mattheal]

Do you have a blackboard wall in your house?

THATS AWESOME!

[Colezy]

Having a blackboard is awesome or the drawing is awesome? :p

BOTH ARE AWESOME! Looks great :D
Is the whole wall painted with that paint that lets you draw on it and then easily wipe it away? No idea what its called!

[mattheal]

Both of course!

[The Dying Start]

Is the whole wall painted with that paint that lets you draw on it and then easily wipe it away? No idea what its called!

It's called blackboard paint you goose!

[Macccca]

its dulux blackboard paint - a recipe for alot of fun :D
plain chalk works and a wet rag rubs it off, it never quite gets clean but the dirty chalkboard look is what its all about!

I'm currently loving the look of this and its a cool talking point (and subliminal advertising for TEIJTBR :p)

I found that with my previous 'art' people thought it looked a little more like a no beer and no tv make macca something something...




Tle fullsize (http://users.tpg.com.au/mcken/tle.jpg)

Dog fullsize (http://users.tpg.com.au/mcken/dog.jpg)

[The Dying Start]

Good stuff. I'd do that myself, but I don't think I'd get away with painting one of the walls of the new house black. Maybe the garage....

[wizard_23]

That is awesome, but the chalk dust would get annoying yeah?

[Macccca]

or the front of the house..on the street...awesome



actually...be right back

//paintstore

[Anfony]

What a shame you based your entire entry around that and didn't slip in a bit of meningococcal for good measure.

I know, Fail:pinch:

Wow Maccccca (too many C's?) That's awesome...They should give you a ticket for that effort!;)

[Colezy]

If that's the case, May should receive handfuls of tickets once people see her creation!

[Jessii]

That is very awesome Macccca!

[The Dying Start]

If that's the case, May should receive handfuls of tickets once people see her creation!

Indeed, indeed!

[All_torn_down16]

I entered the comp! But just wondering, did anyone get a confirmation email after putting their entry in? Apparently someone else did, but I didn't get anything! In fact the screen that appeared after entering shut down quickly without me pressing anything. Kinda thinking it hasn't worked?!

[Anfony]

I didnt get one...same thing happened to me.

[All_torn_down16]

Hmm...interesting, I wonder where this leaves us? I actually entered it 3 times haha because I thought it was weird that the screen closed and I was trying to see if I'd done something wrong. It let me enter again and again, so I don't know what that's saying: either you get numerous entries or it ain't working!

[The Dying Start]

It leaves you on the forum with no clue what's going on.

Situation normal. :p

[Chovies]

I was allowed to enter multiple times but never got an email, Perhaps we should just stalk out the location to the launch and sex our ways in ?;)

[The Dying Start]

Sounds good to me!

[All_torn_down16]

It leaves you on the forum with no clue what's going on.

Situation normal. :p

Haha! Good ol' forums, always there when a TLE fan is in trouble :wub: :p.

I was allowed to enter multiple times but never got an email, Perhaps we should just stalk out the location to the launch and sex our ways in ?;)

Very interesting! That makes 4 of us who have had the same thing happen. Anyway, I've shot them an email just to see if this means the entries aren't working, will let the forum know if I get a reply. Yes Glenn, the forum, here calls for another :wub: haha.

[Joab]

Yeah I want to know what the deal here is as well. I didn't get a conformation or anything and it seemed suss, PLUS my entry was awesome and MOST deserving of tickets :)

[All_torn_down16]

Oh well, no reply to my email and considering entries close tomorrow morning I don't think I'm going to get anything in time. We'll just have to see if it works when we all win tickets :D.

[NowhereTown]

Maybe try it in different browsers? cross-browser compatability can be a major problem.

[All_torn_down16]

I've tried both IE and Firefox which are the only 2 installed on our computer at the moment. But no difference to be seen! Thanks for the advice though Jarrad :).

[Anfony]

Oh well, no reply to my email and considering entries close tomorrow morning I don't think I'm going to get anything in time. We'll just have to see if it works when we all win tickets :D.

I like your optimism! ;)

[All_torn_down16]

Haha thanks, I try to stay positive in these situations! However, I just downloaded Safari and tried that too...no change...grrr.

They've gotta give me points for trying everything! Yes, why can't we get bonus points?!

[Chovies]

I won tickets i won tickets i won tickets i won tickets i won tickets i won tickets i won tickets i won tickets i won tickets i won tickets i won tickets i won tickets i won tickets i won tickets i won tickets i won tickets i won tickets i won tickets

Not sure which one they picked as i entered twice but it was something along the lines of,

" So i can teach Chris a thing or two about guitar "
" It will be easier to stalk them this way "

[Anfony]

I also won! wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!:woot: Alphabetical order perhaps ay Ant? :P

[Gymsox]

Also won so i dont think it was alphabetical as my entry was a sympathy one:

Had $2k stolen the other day and now can't afford concert tickets or my holiday. Please help!!

and i Won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Definitely worth getting the money nicked!!

[Colezy]

Congrats guys!! :D

[Jessii]

I won too.
I put
"Well how many other librarians have rocked up to work in TLE shirts and convinced their manager to stock their entire discography?"

[Colezy]

Ha! Nice one!

Jealoussss :p

[Anfony]

Awesome! Hope more forumers have won tickets!:)

http://electricboy.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/All-Winners_Squad21.jpg

[Sabrestorm]

Well done guys

[Jessii]

Haha i'm also excited cause now i get to visit my 90 year old grandad who lives in Sydney :)

[Anfony]

Thats awesome news Jessii...I will have to goto work a couple of hours after the show ends. yay lol.

[Jessii]

Thats awesome news Jessii...I will have to goto work a couple of hours after the show ends. yay lol.

Haha i was like that at the Soundwave after party. Open bar ect and i couldn't drink cause had to get up for work in 4 hours.

[Anfony]

I think I'd like to stay sober for this one anyhow I'll survive ;)

Does youtube upload the videos after the live stream or can you only watch it live?

[NowhereTown]

Congrats everyone that won tickets. Glad to see some of the forumers made it.

[tlelover91]

I've won too :D Can't wait to see some of you guys there...

Long live The Living End...

My entry was something to the tune of "I can't watch the live stream on youtube because I don't have enough data on my internet"

What about other people?

[tlelover91]

I think I'd like to stay sober for this one anyhow I'll survive ;)

Does youtube upload the videos after the live stream or can you only watch it live?

That's what I'd like to know!

[tlelover91]

I think all us winners should meet up somewhere! What do you reckon?

[Anfony]

I simply wrote "Schweinehaxen with a side of meningococcal" :p

I cant even remember what I had written but I was pretty sure that it wasnt enough to score tickets but hey...

[tlelover91]

Anfony, where in Campbelltown are you from? I'm from Campbelltown too :D

I also didn't think what I wrote would win, but I had a shit load of confidence that I was gonna win! Every night I dreamt weird dreams about it... and I won :D

Can't wait to see you guys there! I can't eat lunch now I'm that excited!:wub:

[Anfony]

anfony, where in campbelltown are you from? I'm from campbelltown too :d...

High five!!!

[Macccca]

noooooo...

i guess if you guys have all gotten emails already then I didnt win?

damn! at least i can stream it.

[Amur]

Congrats to all the winners!
And Jessii, I'm especially happy for you to be there since you're still not sure whether you can go to september's shows. :)

noooooo...

i guess if you guys have all gotten emails already then I didnt win?

damn! at least i can stream it.
if you really entered with that graffiti you did, then just accept that visuals are often underrated, unfortunately. :(

[Macccca]

if you really entered with that graffiti you did, then just accept that visuals are often underrated, unfortunately. :(

Yeh, i entered with that picture hoping for the best but i guess you can't win them all (sigh) so i'll have to come to terms with it.

I do however still have an awesome feature wall in my living room which will be a good companion to listening to the new album :)

[tlelover91]

Yeah I'm pretty jealous of your feature wall... It'd look pretty awesome at my place...

However, I'm a shit drawer so it wont be happening

[Aaron]

Congrats folks!

[tlelover91]

Congrats folks!

Thanks Aaron :D

[All_torn_down16]

I also won!!!! Hey, my optimism payed off in the end haha! This will be so good...coming Sydney! Oh and will be great to see other forumers there (so glad lots of us won this one, I wonder how many others there were?).

So happy now!

[Anfony]

I'll be wearing a meat suit.

[Macccca]

congrats to everyone that won.

figure its worth throwing it out there, so if anyone has a spare +1 i'd be more then happy to offer my left leg for it. if you don't want a spare leg i can also offer drinks and eternal love with a side of endless gratitude :) (also included could be transportation and a couch + pillow! - I do live near the airport :))

[Caity]

Congrats guys! You're going to have an awesome time!

[tlelover91]

I'll be wearing a meat suit.

I'll be turning up in an egg

[Mitch-PTV]

I won too!!! so excited! :woot:

[Anfony]

Congrats to the rest of you who won tickets! Macccca, if my +1 cancels then you can have that ticket.

[tlelover91]

So that would be six or seven of us who have won now?

[Jessii]

I just lied to my doctor so i can get out of having to do a bunch of hospital tests and go.

[Mitch-PTV]

http://www.weirdworm.com/img/people/10-egocentric-tv-characters/barney-stinson.jpg

Well played!!

[Jessii]

Well my eyesight has gone to shit, turns out i have holes in my retinas. Was supposed to have tons of different xrays on Tues and Wed, but i figure if i was suddenly gonna go blind or something he would of hospitalised me, not asked me to come back the next week for tests, so yeah, i can last another week before having them!

At least if loss of eyesight is imminent, seeing TLE would be worth postponing any potential corrective measures...

[Jessii]

I called dr asking, he said it should be ok for a week. But yeah didn't say the reason is so i can go to Syd for a gig.
Had these eye problems for 2 months and only just saw a dr, so i can last another week.
Also my twin is coming with me Yay first ever twin only holiday!! :) :)

[Macccca]

Woopwoop


Turns out my entry wasn't received so I've managed to sort it out with the awesome people behind the scenes. Thanks to everyone for their efforts and offers.

See you all there :D

:)

[Habibster]

That's extreme dedication! Enjoy the gig :)

[Chovies]

Ive got a photo entered in a competition and the opening night is Tuesday but no one has sympathy for me :(

[May]

Woopwoop

See you all there :D

:)
Giddy Up! :D

[Colezy]

I didn't enter, but was given the chance to go as Jessii's +1 (thank you - again!) but I really can't afford anything until Wednesday. Why couldn't this be the following week, damnit!


Excellent work, Macccca! :D

[tlelover91]

That's extreme dedication! Enjoy the gig :)


Yes that really is extreme dedication! However if I was in the same situation I'd definitely skip my doctors appointment to see TLE.

I had to turn down a job interview so I can see them, totally worth it!

[Anfony]

Wow Macccca that's awesome! Congrats man.

[Jessii]

Yes that really is extreme dedication! However if I was in the same situation I'd definitely skip my doctors appointment to see TLE.

I had to turn down a job interview so I can see them, totally worth it!

My mum: "But what if your eyeballs explode on the plane?"

Thanks mum.. i'm gonna assume if my eyesight had failed so bad that cabin pressure makes them explode, i would of eventually gone blind anyway!

Look forward to meeting you all, if you see a pair of twins, say hi to me and my sis!

Also another yay, we had enough frequent flyer points so didn't have to pay for flights!!!

[Anfony]

My mum: "But what if your eyeballs explode on the plane?"

I can still hear The Living End Jeeez!:dry:

[Jessii]

And that's all that matters!
Hope we get to have a forumer meet up there.
Maccca hooray for you!!!

[Colezy]

Whoa! Free flights :D Win!

[All_torn_down16]

Hope we get to have a forumer meet up there.

Yes, I'm sure we'll all find each other somehow :). Forumer meetups are great!

I think I'd be able to spot you Jessii coz I think you've posted a pic or two on the forums of yourself, so I'll say hello if I can!

This is going to be an awesome night, I can't wait :woot:

[May]

I know the old-school boarders are talking about a pre-launch catchup.

Should be a good night!

[Jessii]

How many of us are going?

[May]

Not sure who 'us' is...?

I know in terms of old school boarders, there's Dave, Martin, Arns, Elyse, James, Luke, MattyM & I think Dom...

*edit* Delly and Emily are going too, and while Delly's been around a while, I don't think of her in the same sort of time frame as Arns etc...

[Colezy]

Are you going too, May?

I think my current roster is my new permanent one, so for the time being, I never start any earlier than 9 and never finish any later than 4pm. This means I can definitely catch the live stream :D

[May]

Woot for permanent shift-ness!
And for being able to catch the live stream (typed 'love' stream, but I suspect that mightn't have conjoured the same thought...haha)

[Jessii]

Not sure who 'us' is...?

I know in terms of old school boarders, there's Dave, Martin, Arns, Elyse, James, Luke, MattyM & I think Dom...

*edit* Delly and Emily are going too, and while Delly's been around a while, I don't think of her in the same sort of time frame as Arns etc...

I meant how many forumers do we know are going wasn't asking who is old school or not.

I've met Arns and Elyse.

For some reason this convo is making me really self concious that i am disliked.

[May]

Well I answered for the oldschoolers, as I know that most of them don't bother with the forum since it turned to shit, but know they'll be there, so we can add them to the collective 'forum' tally...

[Jessii]

Yeah i'm just paranoid as hell and can never tell if i'm being judged or not, so incase my comment sounded rude, no offence meant May, got nothing against you :)

[jimmystranger]

WOOHOO i won some tickets too! cant wait to see all you hardcore TLE fans there! will be so awesome!

[Anfony]

Yeah i'm just paranoid as hell and can never tell if i'm being judged or not, so incase my comment sounded rude, no offence meant May, got nothing against you :)

Who cares Jessii, if anyone has something against you then it's their problem. After all, we're all here for the same reason right? Oldschool or not.

From this thread alone I've gathered that the following people have won tickets, in no particular order

Chovies
Anfony
Gymsox
Jessii
tlelover91
All torn down16
Mitch-PTV
Macccca
Colezy?
Jimmystranger

Not bad ;)

[Jessii]

Colezy can't come, offered her ticket but she couldn't make it :(

[Anfony]

[Jessii]

Am i sitting next to Arns and Elyse in this photo May, or have i gotten people mixed up?
Since it was 5 years ago, not confident i've remembered the right names.

[Caity]

Awwwww Jawn! <3

[Jessii]

Yeah i smile when i see his smile in that photo :)

[NowhereTown]

So do we know what the venue is?

[FlyingV]

I didn't bother with this since it's in Sydney! :dry:

[Jessii]

I didn't bother with this since it's in Sydney! :dry:

I'm in Perth and loving my parents for offering for me to use all their frequent flyer points!

[Astoria_paranoia]

Hi guys, I'm new here, just thought it would be nice to make some new friends who are into the same music as I ^^
I was so devo I didn't get a ticket, I don't even know if my entry went through :(
If anyone has a +1 available i'll pay for it I don't care!
congrats to you guys who won!
I hope to hear all about it if I don't find a way to go!

[tlelover91]

Hi guys, I'm new here, just thought it would be nice to make some new friends who are into the same music as I ^^
I was so devo I didn't get a ticket, I don't even know if my entry went through :(
If anyone has a +1 available i'll pay for it I don't care!
congrats to you guys who won!
I hope to hear all about it if I don't find a way to go!

I'll definitely be bragging about it on Wednesday :D...

Why don't you just watch the livestream of it?

[tlelover91]

So do we know what the venue is?

The venue was emailed to us winners, however, with it being a secret venue and all I will have to refuse to tell you until the event is over.

I don't want to risk losing my tickets :D

[tlelover91]

I'm in Perth and loving my parents for offering for me to use all their frequent flyer points!

It was meant to be... there's no way you can miss this event!

[Amur]

I didn't bother with this since it's in Sydney! :dry:
It feels a bit painful to look at my aussie visa and know that it's already valid plus I have airplane tickets to australia, but I can't use it just now, otherwise I will miss september's shows. meh! :pinch:

[Astoria_paranoia]

I'll definitely be bragging about it on Wednesday :D...

Why don't you just watch the livestream of it?


soooo not the same! :p

[tlelover91]

soooo not the same! :p

I know!

But it's better than nothing. If I didn't win tickets I wouldn't have been able to watch the livestream, which is what I wrote in 25 words or less and bingo... TICKETS! haha

My life is awesome at the moment!

[tlelover91]

And that's all that matters!
Hope we get to have a forumer meet up there.
Maccca hooray for you!!!

Yeah we should gather up all us forumers and have a huge group photo :D

Ehh if you spot a young looking girl with a TLE flag, that would be me :D

Though I'm still debating whether I should bring my flag or not! Ahh decisions decisions.... I am freaking excited!

[Astoria_paranoia]

oh, right fair enough ^^
yeah that's true! still have the concerts in September to look forward to :)

[mattheal]

Hey tlelover91 you know you can put multiple quotes in the one post right?

[tlelover91]

Hey tlelover91 you know you can put multiple quotes in the one post right?

Yeah I probably should start doing that right, my bad! Sorry everyone :wacko:

[Colezy]

To whoever thought I might be going - nope :(

I can't afford the airfairs to/from until I am paid (the day after the gig, gah!). I would drive, but don't have a car right now & don't know any other Melby people driving up.

Plus I turned down a ticket, so it doesn't matter now :p

[May]

*Is* anyone going from Melb? (or bris, or andylaide...?)

[Colezy]

Melb & Bris - don't think so. Andylaide - Ellen, maybe one other?

[May]

(Was Ellen one of those that came for SM?)

[Colezy]

Indeed, she was :)

[Astoria_paranoia]

What's Ellen's username on here? if you don't mind me asking ^^
I'm pretty sure it's the same girl i met in Newcastle to see TLE on NYE 2010
( http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/Nicky_kinomiya/19534_258120841203_591141203_4304752_3238341_n.jpg )
would be great to get in touch with her again :)

[Colezy]

Yep, that's her!

All_torn_down16 is her username :)

[May]

Yah, I remember Ellen. Just no good with names/faces of TLE fans.
Met a few over the years...

[Jessii]

Yep, that's her!

All_torn_down16 is her username :)

Am i calling you during the gig like tradition, or no point cause of youtube stream?

[Astoria_paranoia]

great thanks! :)

[Caity]

Am i calling you during the gig like tradition, or no point cause of youtube stream?

You can call me! :p

[##thelivingendfan##]

You can call me too! I wont be able to watch it haha ):

[Macccca]

i always love listening to an band/album before a gig but an unheard new album (which on first listen is insanely awesome) the morning before the night after is a stupidly awesome treat.

stupidly awesome.

[Jessii]

Heading to airport now, back online on Wed.
See you friendly boardies at the show!
Colezy if you want me to call you during it, you have to txt me.

[The Dying Start]

Is someone recording this?

[May]

I'm gonna try, but hopefully someone with more reliable tech skills will do the trick.

[Colezy]

Oh crap. What time does it start...8pm? I said yes to changing my start time at work tomorrow and wont finish until around 8. Gah!

If I make it home in time, I'll try & record it. Only thing is, that Mac's seem to be great for everything apart from recording live streaming of audio/video.

[tlelover91]

Yeah the live stream starts at 8... I hope you're home for it because I would love a copy of the live stream!

Anyone else planning on recording it? I was planning on downloading it when I got home, but I'm not sure if it's going to be stored on youtube after the live stream

[All_torn_down16]

Yah, I remember Ellen. Just no good with names/faces of TLE fans.
Met a few over the years...

You're good to remember my name in the first place May!

I'm terrible with names in general, it's not one of my strongest qualities.

Anyway, can't believe this is happening tomorrow night, see you forumers who are going, there :).

Oh and it would be lovely if anyone could rip the live stream, I'd love to watch it later!

[tlelover91]

If I have any lucky with downloading the live stream after the kickass night us lucky forumers get to have then I'll let you know and I'll send it to you :D

[Joab]

my question is, what did people write to get tickets to this thing! what were your 25 words??

[Martin]

I don't remember my exact wording, Joab, but it was something along the lines of "Have driven from Melbourne to Port Pirie for gigs, to secret country shows, flown to London, and followed their entire 2009 Germany tour."

Still not entirely sure where this pre-show meet-up is, but I'm sure May will sort me out.

[tlelover91]

my question is, what did people write to get tickets to this thing! what were your 25 words??

I wrote something along the lines of "I can't watch the live stream on youtube because I have shit internet and so I need tickets to enjoy your awesomeness"

Somehow it worked :D

[Joab]

Martin that's a solid answer but realllyyyyyyy tlelover91?!?!?!

HAD to be at random hahaha.

[Anfony]

I just got another email telling me "*We had a few extra spots on the list team so you are one of the lucky second–round winners!"

I already won tickets in the first round... :wacko:

[Joab]

No fair!!!!!

[Anfony]

No fair!!!!!
I agree. I just responded telling them that I'd already won tickets...I'll see what they say.

[Joab]

tell them the email "joab808@hotmail.com" is pretty lonely and ticketless :innocent:

[##thelivingendfan##]

tell them the email "joab808@hotmail.com" is pretty lonely and ticketless :innocent:

my email is lonely and ticketless too! and i would fo sho spend all night on a train for that stuff!:flowers:

[May]

Time to update this somewhat methinks :p

I will see what I can do, never tried to record live streams before, though. Need to practice on another youtube stream beforehand!

EDIT: I think I figured this out, so most likely I will be able to record this. At least it works with live TV on youtube.

[Colezy]

I think I know where this gig is, but don't want to say where just in case I am right & people try and get in when they shouldn't.

Yeah...pointless post :p

[The Dying Start]

Someone's a ticket hog!

[tlelover91]

PM me and I'll let you know

YES! i am definitely going to try to do this. i must have the live version in my itunes along with the recorded..

if mine doesnt work, a gold star is definitely on offer for anyone else who can get it to :)

[Martin]

My contact at the venue tells me it's fracking loud, due to the... nature of the venue. I can't tell you more without giving hints as to the location :p

Anyway: if you weren't doing so already, bring earplugs.

[May]

Oh fuck! Knew I'd forget them...

Anyhoo. Only soundcheck and I'm nearly wetting myself it sounds so good!

Zomg! Moment in the sun squeeee!!

[May]

(I really should write this shit down as it happens. However)
Universe, resist, white noise, moment in the sun, in the morning! Not fucking bad boys!!!

[Joab]

Keep giving us live updates!! WOOO!!

[tlelover91]

That was amazing! Filmed the whole thing and will put it on Youtube tomorrow! I only have two complaints and that is that they didn't play long enough and that they didn't play For Another Day as I LOVE THAT SONG! However I do know how hard it is to play that song for a live audience, it doesnt get people as pumped as Universe does.

Also, meeting the boys was amazing. Andy came straight to me mwahahaha, Chris is a very humble man and kept asking me if I really liked the album and I told him "Chris, this is the best shit you have come up with so far! The only way you could have made this album better is if you put a few more songs on it!" And Scott, he is a funny bastard! I asked him where he disappeared to because I couldn't find him and he told me "I went for a smoko, an after work smoko", to which I replied "You fucking deserved it!"

To sum up, this has been the best year ever and I can't wait for the concerts in September, which I'm guessing, Sydney gets another show, I shall buy tickets :D

[Caity]

You lucky thing, I'm glad you had fun! The crowd looked pumped from the stream!

[tlelover91]

You lucky thing, I'm glad you had fun! The crowd looked pumped from the stream!

I can't find the stream saved anywhere :( I was hoping to watch it to see if I could spot myself because I was on camera quite a few times (I was the chick holding a camera and wearing a tle flag as a cape, I was standing next to a guy wearing red, who happens to be my boyfriend and Chris mentioned my boyfriend... Chris asked the crowd if we were loud enough and my boyfriend Steve shook his head and yelled out no, to which Chris replied something like "This guy doesn't think we're loud enough")

Ok so that was a long bracketed thing...

Oh god, I wish I was still there, time to watch the footage I got methinks....

I thought that the rumour that they we're getting another guitarist for live shows wasn't true, how wrong I was

So anyway after all that rambling, I wanted to know if anyone got the live stream and if they would be kind enough to send it to me? Please!

[mattheal]

did you happen to ask them about the extra guy?

[Caity]

Haha I loved your bracketed story. I can't remember if I saw you!

[Colezy]

Yeah, I had heard that rumour a few days back via some people on facebook. Not sure what to think! I'll wait until I see/hear it in person.

[tlelover91]

did you happen to ask them about the extra guy?

No, sorry. I was trying to keep calm, cool and collected and to not faint of utter excitement. And everyone was crowding the guys for photos and stuff so maybe someone else asked them.

However I've got the guy on video, I also took a (shitty) photo of the foot pedals that chris used because I saw that someone wanted to know what equipment Chris used for the album. I'm not even going to pretend to know anything about music because I'd just epically fail at it.

I'll have pictures and video up tomorrow. I'm currently in a hotel in the cross with pretty crap internet. I have 500mb to use so wont be able to anyway

[mattheal]

yah anything of his pedals is always appreciated by us musos

[May]

Wow. Bloody wow.

Sooo damn worth it!

Thanks Martin for the plus one! Thanks to the boys and all involved for putting on an awesome launch. Just that bit keener for the album now! Thanks to Elyse and Arns! And thanks to everyone else who helped update the forumer pic!

[Mitch-PTV]

Agreed with everything May just said!! such a great night!

[Anfony]

That it was!

[May]

*wishing it was 8pm Tues again...* Was watching the vids on the flight home, and excuse me while I go into ONJ mode for a second, but Chris, Scott, Andy - I love you's, I honestly fucking love you's! lol

Bring on the spandex and sequins boys!! Hahaha!

[May]

Oh! And massive props to Martin for starting the best encore chant I've ever been part of! (The 'woah's from the start of TEIJTBR until the boys came back out) Awesome!!

[Mitch-PTV]

hahaha agreed! the LIV-ING-END chant was good, but starting up the woahs, it was something else!!

[The Dying Start]

Sounds like you scallywags had a good time then!

[Kacky]

Oh! And massive props to Martin for starting the best encore chant I've ever been part of! (The 'woah's from the start of TEIJTBR until the boys came back out) Awesome!!

Martin is good for that! Did some of it in Germany too, although his dance moves were just as good!

[Chovies]

Photos - http://www.flickr.com/photos/mystifyme07/with/5954387266/

Was pissed at myself the whole night for not taking my slr i only had a little happy snaps to deal with D:

[mattheal]

Man they are GREAT pics!

[Chovies]

The guy who uploaded those on flickr also took shots of the crowds and im pretty sure that he took some photos of forum people ( i sorta recognized some by face so im not sure or not ) ;)

[May]

I don't know what you look like. I could've met you and wouldn't know...

[Martin]

Oh! And massive props to Martin for starting the best encore chant I've ever been part of! (The 'woah's from the start of TEIJTBR until the boys came back out) Awesome!!

It just felt like the right thing to do ;)

Martin is good for that! Did some of it in Germany too, although his dance moves were just as good!

If that doesn't catch on – the 'woah's, I mean, not my dancing; though you're welcome to try and emulate that, too – for the tour I'll be disappointed.

Encores = 'woah's! Make it happen!

I'm sure I saw an arseload of forumers, but I'm still pretty wrecked from the after-party and after-after-party (does Woody ever go home? Jeez.) and can't remember any names except for Mitch and Maccccetca. But hello to you all *waves*

[Martin]

The second guitarist's name is Adrian Lombardi (Lombardo?). He'll be with the band for the rest of their tour.

I like it. You get to hear the parts from the record that you usually don't hear live, and it sounds fuckin' tight.

[Joab]

haha well there you go!

[Anfony]

Wow so last night really was something special! Those encore "Woahs" were Epic, the songs sounded fucking amazing! It was so awesome to see the TLE boys out mingling with us fans, chatting, having photos taken, signing autographs etc.

The only down side to the whole night I can think of is that I couldn't take advantage of the free alco-ma-hol, Only the water (my bearded mate on the other hand...). It was really great to meet all the forumers that I met, I can't remember all your names but you know who you are ;) Looking forward to seeing some footage and more photos!

See you all at Enmore!

[Joab]

THERE WAS FREE GROG???!?!??!?!!!?!?!?!??!?! FOR REAL!??!!?!??!?!?!!?!!?!??!!

Was he at Geelong Nic? All night I kept thinking he looked soooo familiar! :p

[Colezy]

Yeah I think he was.

At the GP Caity, Sarah & I ALL did a double take when we first saw him because he looked like a younger Chris. Dressed the same, walked the same, had the same hat on. Messed with our heads, he did :p

Saw Blueline Medic play many years ago, so probably have seen Lombardi play before.
