hahah thanks DG! Its a bit crazy really... but it will be worth it!
I've wanted to see OLP live for years and years and figure i'm never going to get the chance to see them in this fashion again! and Clumsy in its entirety - i'd be an idiot to miss that!!!!

Johnny, so did I, because there weren't any other tickets available!

Johnny doesn't even like the band anymore. YOu on the other hand do. Besides that you get some nice things to bring back home.

The book, two small concert posters. I put them up in one of the threads, A laminate that says "an evening with OLP", a stcik on pass from going backstage. Orange for CLumsy, Blue for Spiritual Machines. Prime seats to the show and you get a group shot with the band.. For someone like you that is worth it.. :nod:

BTW are you one of the guys who was at the Vegas show. Steve was talking to two guys backstage from Australia when I was there.

I feel love, I feel a power. It comes to me in the darkest hour. And I want to feel it again

There were 3 poeple from Australia there. Just meant to ask if they were one of them..

There are alot of fans from all over. I think Isreal, Australia and Brazil are the farthest I know.

My biggest problem with the whole VIP thing is each package only has one ticket. When I ordered, I assumed that the packages would include a pair of tickets and therein lies the problem; I didn't take the time to thoroughly read the package info before I clicked 'pay now' and now I'm out $400.

Yes, I'm looking forward to the shows, but to me, they arent worth paying that much for.

I'll agree with that for the most part... Not completely worth it. I still bought one, however.




But for someone coming from as far away as Australia? Definitely worth it. Your gonna have a blast.

Too many fedoras.
Too many pairs of tight black jeans.
Too many guys in a room. (Four is enough.)

wow thanks for the information Tattooed Angels! I read the package and thought... ya know what... YEAH thats worth it.... especially if your travelling all the way from Australia.
No, I wasn't at Vegas I'm sorry :) This will be the first time I've seen OLP! They've never come to Australia (not that I know of anyway)
Which is a major bummer!

ah well Johnny, you've paid the mola now so I guess that means ya gotta go VIP!!!!!
hahahahaha

Can't WAIT! 27 sleeps to go!

It takes A LOT to get Johnny excited...
“Music doesn’t have the power to change the world. What music does is it changes people, & that changes the world, so to say that music doesn’t change people anymore is just ridiculous. It does everyday. It doesn’t have to be on a political or social level. You could be feeling shitty & it makes you happy & if that’s all it does, it’s changing the world. It’s making it a better place.” ~ Raine Maida

Johnny, you don't even like the band. Why would you shell out that money to see them? :P I know the $400 was a mistake, but why the $200 in the first place?

You'd think, surrounded by so many supporters, he'd be able to come out of the closet!! Come on Johnny, come out of that closet! We love you whether you love OLP or not!
