Yup, Im up for it, got the rest of the week off so yeah....not sure abt getting things signed, never done this 'stalking' thing before :D
Are you going to FMF as well?

Yep, but I got one of the VIP tickets overlooking both main stages (cost around $300, has its own personal bar, etc), so I'll be filming tonight from the pit and FMF from a distance, but my camera has amazing zoom.

I went to the back of the Enmore in 2010 and that's how I met Hooky. Let's go round the back of the Hordern tonight!

I'm the guy wearing black jeans, black button up shirt and black leather jacket, about 5'6 wearing sunglasses. Leaving work at 2:30 pm today and going straight to the Hordern.

Pretty windy/chilly outside today. Taking a small umbrella in my pocket just in case.

Any particular surprises you're hoping for? Mr. Disco would make me crap my pants.

Do it! I met Gary at his hotel in Melbourne in 2009, along with the rest of his band (minus one keyboard player) and his wife, then again May 2011 at a meet and greet.

Also met Ade Fenton (his main co-writer and keyboardist) at a bar in Sydney and his then-guitarist, got photos etc on Facebook.

Having done that, and Hooky, and Hooky again at the meet and greet in April, I just damn well HAVE to meet Bernard and co. tonight!

What's your name by the way? Looks like we'll be seeing each other quite a bit.

Good luck! If they play anything awesome/crapping pants worthy, I still want to vicariously hear it through phone call, you bastard!

I can't wait to hear Round and Round!

Still not massively keen on the run of tracks in the middle... I genuinely started to lose interest at the Troxy, so I hope by the time they get back to the UK there is even a little bit more variety, even if it's just in terms of the running order... R&R will be a welcome addition though... Never a favourite off Technique but has grown on me significantly in recent years...

I wouldn't bother if I were you. Have you not been reading the main forum?

It's all pre-recorded, apparently.

It's played during their half-time break. The band all wander off-stage to have a nice cuppa tea and a sitdown leaving Tom to dance around a bit, attempt some backing vocals and mime to some of Hooky's pre-recorded basslines.

Cambo and Jed are getting all High and Mighty about it.

It's been reported on the NME site as well now.

Very long story short (I'll elaborate later): entire gig filmed from the front, middle.

Met the band afterwards, got autographs and videos of me and Bernard and Stephen talking, photos with all current band members. Will upload everything in the next day or two.

Holy shitballs! Then just got my Hooky meet and greet package in the mail for Closer with the laminate, etc.

Didn't get a set list sheet, but when I went backstage Stephen let me take one off the wall.

I'm truly blessed. And still have Gillian's lipstick on my left cheek...

So you did all this, without having to pay for any form of meet and greet package then?

I rest my case m'lud.

Good to see all our idols aren't greedy linuses.
