to all the Melbournites and Sir Allen Jarvis — Forum Archive

I am supposed to be at the BDO next week in Melbourne (still have some problems w/my work here and not 100% sure to go). I will be w/ Australian friends there but i would be REALLY happy to have a chat and a beer w/ some of the onliners of this forum if ever I meet some of you there. I kind of noticed Allen during the first gig in France (because of the flag and i think one of his friend had an argument w/ a French guy before the concert started) but i did not dare talking w/him. But if ever you notice a tall (1m 88) guy w/short hair wearing a red Get Ready T-shirt, that might be me. If when you start talking w/him and he answers you w/ a french accent, that will be me! I really hope i will meet some of you there!

Well i plan to be there but at this moment not confirmed. It comes down to the $ flow really. Still will get to see them at the Metro and hopefully at the signing before that. but still interested, if the funds come my way then i will look for you, but your description will apply to about 100 people on the day, if i am going it would probably be better to arrange a time and place!

Signing? What signing?!

Perhaps we could meet behind the huge sound tower in the middle of the oval after their set, see what we all thought, have a bit of a chat. You can always get to the space behind the tower cause no one stands there because you can't see or hear anything.

Sounds like a great idea - I'll be the tall, drunk one with blonde hair and prominent beer gut. I'll be with my girlfriend, so I'd appreciate it if you didn't call me Candy on the day - she thinks it's a bit 'camp'. CTD

Sounds like a top idea. Forget getting descriptions of each other, one of us should bring a neworderonline sign and when it is displayed people will know where to go. Then we can discuss what has just occured on stage :nod:

So lets get this straight for all the Melbournites going to the Big Day Out. We will meet after the show behind the sound tower to discuss meet up and stuff? How does this sound?

Sounds like a plan, Obi-wan CTD :cool2:

Girlfriend?

If I remember correctly, if everyone present joins in for a sing-along of Regret, this lass will perform a moving dance choreography that you'll never forget.

Depthy, you are an cheeky monkey. That anecdote related to an EX-girlfriend, not my current partner. The "dancer" buggered off to Wagga not long after the incident. Not far enough for my liking. CTD :cool:
