Hello hello! Well well...have I been very excited lately or what!? There have just been lots of little things that all add up to equal 'good times ahead.' --First of all, I have basically finished university for the year. I have two exams (tomorrow and Monday) and then I'm done!! Well, until next year anyway. --Second of all, one of my all time favourite bands who I NEVER thought I would see live because I live in Australia and they're in the UK, are coming to Australia!! The band I speak of is Radiohead, and if that's not exciting enough, I also got good tickets. Now I don't know about you guys but I would rather be standing right in front of the stage than sitting in the stalls. But, as Radiohead are so popular you can imagine what the box-office is like in the morning when the tickets go on sale, it's NUTS! Anyhooo, my Mum was on the internet trying to get the tickets that way and I was pressing redial on the phone to try and call them, and then!...after about fifty calls it started ringing, and I wet my pants. I got put on hold and finally a guy picked up... Me: Hello, I was wondering if those Radiohead tickets were on sale yet? Guy: Sorry, not for another 25 seconds, you'll have to call back. Me: Why? Guy:I'm not allowed to wait on the phone until then. Me:Why? Guy:it's unfair to the other customers and it's company policy, I'm sorry. Me:Can I buy those tickets now, 25 seconds is up. Guy:Oh...okay. --------------------- Well, it went something like that anyway. So, good news is I got GA tickets so I can line up at ten in the morning to be at the front at ten that night. A couple of days later though I found out that they had scheduled another show in the same city as those tickets sold out too quickly. But I'm happy, I got my beautiful tickets (they're yellow!!). Third of all, well, this was only a happy thing that happened to me for about two minutes. Some Sinisterian (sorry, forgot your name, but you know who you are) posted some absolutely fantastic post about B&S coming to Australia also!! He even posted the link to a website promoting it!! It said they were playing at the Perth town hall, which would be in Perth, which is in Australia, all seems good right? Right!? Wrong... My hopes and dreams were shattered as I discovered upon further inverstigation that they are doing a tour of Scotland, and there's some crummy place called Perth over there too. Thanks to that listee who got my hopes up so very high, you had better send me a Christmas present. Other things that are making me happy lately? My dogs, my girlfriend, my Sigur Ros CD's and the fact that I will soon be getting Nick Drake's first album. Oh, and Sinister. Thanks for reading this far if you did. I can't wait to hopefully see some of you guys if I ever come over to England, Scotland, wherever most of you live. You know I love picnics, and I see all these posts discussing forthcoming picnics and picnics that have been and discussing infamous individuals and their antics, such as Ken Chu (What is it with you? Why are you so popular? Can you juggle frogs or something?)...oh dear. One day I promise I will be over there and join you all for a picnic, and maybe even see B&S! I do not have even one other Sinisterian here in lil ol' Adelaide...or do I? Have a fun-filled weekend everyone, wish me luck for my exam (18 hours away!). Too Much Love, Nathan. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!
