[Tonijar]

Still haven't decided if I can be bothered going to a festival. I hate camping so much!!

[Erik]

don't think i'll go just yet

[Rock'n'Roll]

Tickets will sell like hot cakes! I wouldn't wait for the 2nd announcement. The only bands i'd wanna see are TLE, Silverchair and Ugly Duckling.

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

I like a few of those bands. This seems like a nice excuse for a victorian holiday. If anyone that I know if going and wants to share this experience with me. Maybe.

[worry_rock]

I really wanted to go last year. From memory it was Grinspoon and Gyroscope I specifically wanted to see.

And I'd love to go for TLE and Silverchair this year except it's incredibly doubtful seeing as I won't be able to sway many friends to come and my parents wouldn't be too keen on letting me go either. Besides...New Years parties!

Ah well...

[Erin]

:eek: if i want to go i have to drag along my whole family :( damn i hate being restricted

[cdejonge]

I might go because I hate new year's, unless it involves a concert. I'd go to see TLE, Silverchair and Karnivool.

[Kev]

See Ash Grunwald too.

he's fucking awesome live. and an all round nice guy

[Colezy]

Oh man. I think my parents want to go to Melbourne for a holiday at the end of this year. I don't know if they meant a family one or just them, but if they go, I am so going too! I'd love to see Silverchair, TLE (duh!) and a few of the others. One of my good friends would love it too, especially for silverchair and cause she couldn't see TLE last weekend!

[cdejonge]

Anybody (who hasn't already said) thinking about going? I guess if I go, I'll go regardless. Who cares if it's by myself :p

[Outlaw Love Song]

Meh... so far I'd only go to see TLE. I'm sure it'll get better but I might sit this one out...

[hillaas]

This looks pretty good. I'd go but im overseas at the time so that's my decision made for me.

[TLE_rok]

Id sat that i am going, its only less than 2 hours away from me and ive got plenty of people who have already invited me!
it should be good!

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

Also, this is the place with the penguins right? WHO WANTS TO TAKE ME TO SEE THE PENGUINS!?

[cdejonge]

Also, this is the place with the penguins right? WHO WANTS TO TAKE ME TO SEE THE PENGUINS!?I reckon Caity would.

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

caity smells.

[May]

Camping you say ay? :cool: Could be good (so long as it doesnt turn out to be like the ferals at Cobram - bastards!)

So is anyone seriously considering this?

I've never caught TLE for a NY gig.... Could be fun with the right people to share with!! :)

If your seriously thinking of going count me in lol. But just keep in mind I think *maybe* I'm going home for Xmas this year (hell knowing me I'll end up hanging in Melbourne) but I'm planning on coming back on the 29th even if I do go, so we could head there either that arvo or the next day, whichever would suit you honey......

I forgot to tell you that I got a ghd straightener too, it should arrive next week. Not as exciting as your oven but it's up there!!!!!

[Liz]

Mmm... TLE and End of Fashion. Again.

[cdejonge]

For anybody who has been before, do you leave your car at the same site of your tent (not somewhere different). I want to know because:
- I might just sleep in my car
- I don't want to leave my car elsewhere

[Bec]

Oooh, I'll hopefully be going to this, so it'd be cool if I see some of you there =D

[cdejonge]

I emailed Pyramid with a couple of questions and they replied with answers to a heap of questions (some of which I was wondering and wasn't sure whether to ask). Here's what I got:
Yes there are full camping grounds within the event,
Â
And yes at this years event there is going to be a limited capacity ‘early arrivals camping option, So on Friday the 29th of December keen campers can get there a day early, set up their campsites and enjoy some warm summer moonlight cinema amongst the waves. There is a small additional cost for this incorporated into the ‘extra night tickets’ for more information please refer to the ticketing details.
Â
Patrons are encouraged to camp on site at the event,
{Within / next to their vehicles is fine by us}!
There is adequate room for tents, campervans and the like, {caravans will be ok too}
Camping areas are positioned within easy walking distance to the entertainment areas also,
{i.e.: No long treks to the stage/s}
Â
And yes if you rock up together at the event gates at the same time with your friends you should all be fine to camp together no worries. For traffic management reasons it’s not be possible to reserve neighbouring spots once inside the venue campgrounds. There will however be a signposted ‘meeting point’ past the processing area where you can wait for friends so you’re able to enter the campgrounds together. Please follow our staff traffic controller’s directions as they direct you to your parking/camping spot.
Â
With the exception of the ‘early arrival ticket’ holders (Fri 29th Dec), there is no added cost for any camping (Sat 30th & Sun 31st) it’s all included in the ticket.
Â
Yes punters attending Pyramid Rock Festival will be allowed to come and go via shuttle bus once they have their wrist bands affixed. There are no pass outs for cars once they enter the campground area. Once in the campground area cars are not to be moved or started until the Festival finishes on the morning of January 1.
Â
Patrons will have to leave and re-enter the event via the shuttle buses that will be operating for the duration of the event. A free shuttle bus service will run for the duration of the event to and from the temporary carpark where patrons will be able to get connecting Phillip Island shuttle services and taxis. A parent drop off point will also be located at the temporary car park area. Just look for the ‘temporary carpark’ signposts on Back Beach Rd. The entrance is 100m past the main entrance to the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit.
Â
Local patrons wishing to come and go from the event by car are advised to use the temporary car park located just past the entrance to the Grand Prix Circuit. Free busses to the venue will be running from the temporary car park.

[Bec]

I don't suppose anybody knows where exactly the shuttle busses go to? I sent them an email about it but it would be good if I could find out soon so we can book accomidation, as the parentals do not wish to camp.

[cdejonge]

I don't suppose anybody knows where exactly the shuttle busses go to? I sent them an email about it but it would be good if I could find out soon so we can book accomidation, as the parentals do not wish to camp.I only know what I posted above. There's a FAQ on the site too. They took a day or two to reply to me, so I think they'll give you some info soon.

[Bec]

Thanks, it did say it goes to Cowes, which isn't that big so I guess anywhere there would be okay.
I guess I'll have to just be patient.

[cdejonge]

Thanks, it did say it goes to Cowes, which isn't that big so I guess anywhere there would be okay.
I guess I'll have to just be patient.Have you been to Phillip Island before? Cowes is about the biggest place there. There'll be places to stay there.

[mel_bound]

there;s a shop with a pirate room in Cowes! We must visit :p

[Bec]

No I haven't, the part where most of the streets and stuff are doesn't look too big on the Melways :p

Wow, a pirate room? I'm so there!

[cdejonge]

No I haven't, the part where most of the streets and stuff are doesn't look too big on the Melways :pI hope I didn't sound rude before when I said it. Because I wasn't trying to sound rude ... :confused:

But yeah, it isn't that big. But it's the place where most of the "stuff" is.

[Bec]

No you didn't sound rude! I'm sorry if I gave the impression that you did. I wouldn't have a clue about Phillip Island. I'm really excited about this :D

[cdejonge]

Nah, you didn't give that impression. I was just thinking I sounded rude when I typed it originally, but was too lazy to rephrase it. Phillip Island's nice. Pretty relaxing, although will probably be packed that time of year!

[Bec]

Haha okay then. I think we're gonna go up a day or two earlier two avoid traffic, though it would probably be pretty heavy then too. Are you definately going then? You'll have to come say hi if you see me!

[cdejonge]

Haha okay then. I think we're gonna go up a day or two earlier two avoid traffic, though it would probably be pretty heavy then too. Are you definately going then? You'll have to come say hi if you see me!Yep, pretty sure. Gotta check if my friend wants to get the early bird tickets though. Did you see about that? They have that to beat the traffic like you're planning to.

Yeah, I guess we can all meet up when TLE are playing (once we know times, etc). I think a few forum people are going. But yeah, if I see and recognise you I'll say hi, and vice versa.

[Bec]

Yeah but we're not camping anyway so the early bird tickets don't matter to us.
I'd really like to camp but my parents aren't too happy about that unless I'm with some adult they know and all, so I guess I'll have to wait a few years for that.
Oh and I think Mel is coming up with me. I don't think I know what you look like but I'm sure I can find out between now and then.

[cdejonge]

haha, yeah cool. Mel mentioned she was going with some forumites so that must have been you. I know Mel. Just look for the guy with the water bottle and that will be me :p

Anyways, it's still a while away :p

[Colezy]

Cam is the hot one :p

[cdejonge]

Cam is the hot one :pPfft, you haven't met me Colezy :p and it isn't nice to lie.

You going to this Colezy? You mentioned earlier that your parents might be coming over around this time?

[Bec]

The guy with the waterbottle, that totally narrows it down. :p
Trina and Caiti will also be going I think, though I'm not sure if you know them. They don't post very much.
I'm getting way too excited about this even though it's not for a few months.
Ahh I just noticed you're going to Zombie Ghost Train so I might see you there first.

[mel_bound]

nah Cam's avatar is a picture of him.

hahaha.

[Colezy]

Pfft, you haven't met me Colezy :p and it isn't nice to lie.

You going to this Colezy? You mentioned earlier that your parents might be coming over around this time?
I've seen photos! :p hehe
I hope I can go. I'm going to talk to mum sometime tomorrow..so hopefully! If I do, I'll come and find all you forumers to say hi! :)

The guy with the waterbottle, that totally narrows it down. :p
The rest of them will have beer bottles, so Cam will be the only one with a water bottle!

[cdejonge]

Emo! haha ... Yeah I'll hopefully go to ZGT, Uni-depending.

I'm kinda getting excited about Pyramid too because bloody Uni will be over!

[cdejonge]

The rest of them will have beer bottles, so Cam will be the only one with a water bottle!Exactly! Actually it's vodka, not water, but shhh :p

And Colezy, in regards to your other comments, I think you didn't have your glasses on :p

Let's let this thread go back on topic now ...

[May]

Toni and I are seriously comtemplating this. And I'm up for camping.
I'd be cool if for a change the boarders could get their shit together and we all camp in the one area. Mini TLE city lol.

I've wanted to do a New Years TLE gig for years. So dont want to miss this one! :D

Silverchair To Play Hometown New Year’s Eve Gig

BUY CD: Silverchair Live From Faraway Stables

by Paul Cashmere

September 27 2006

Silverchair will play a New Year’s Eve show this year in their hometown Newcastle, north of Sydney.

The gig will be a one-off for the band, before they release their new album in the new year.

"It will be great to get a chance to play to all our friends and family again", said Silverchair drummer Ben Gillies. "Doing this gig will save us all from throwing any New Years Eve parties, we can just invite everyone down to this gig instead! We're also really pleased that Beautiful Girls and Something with Numbers have agreed to be part of it too - it should be fun."

Sessions for the new yet-to-be titled Silverchair album is complete but mixing won’t start until just before Christmas.

The band says they will have the album out in the first half on 2007.

I guess that means they'll be playing on the 30th at Pyramid? That's if you trust those Undercover Music emails :p

[RollOn]

Ah man I'd love to go to this. Any chance I could bum a lift with someone please?
I don't bite, am pretty well mannered and eat just about anything, and another bonus is that I am fully house trained.
Also I have a lovely black and red tent if anyone is interested haha

[Kev]

I guess that means they'll be playing on the 30th at Pyramid? That's if you trust those Undercover Music emails :p

I saw this undercover article too.

So I rang the publicity mob for Pyramid and she couldnt give me any details... :confused:

[Jodez]

i cant go dammit

[Bec]

You could possibly come with us, I'll talk to my parents about it.

[RollOn]

Thanks Bec! I'll need to ask mum first of course and if I have to work that day/days then I won't be able to come. :(

[maddie]

I wanna go to this! But unless anyone is willing to buy me a ticket (I'd pay you back eventually!) and then kidnap me to take me, it's not looking likely.

Damn stupid parents and their horrible rules. And also my stupid lack of money.

ARGH!!!

[May]

Yeah. Parents suck :rolleyes:

[Erin]

people take your cameras so us unfortunate ones can feel like we were there :D

[*M!]

i'm kinda tempted to go just so that i can say i saw the living end on New Years Eve AND so i can hang out with some forumers - alas i don't know if this shall be the case...

dang!

*M!

[Bec]

I don't like taking photos at gigs, I find I don't end up enjoying it as much and my photos turn out pretty shit anyway. But hopefully there will be professional photographers there or at least someone who takes better photos than me :)

*M! You should come!
But think quickly because tickets go on sale at midday today

[Erin]

i can always dive past the site...i might see people :p

[RollOn]

Caitlin and Bec remember to take that sign for me and take random pictures of it in places that I otherwise would've been! haha

I'd love to take it in to work with the guy's holding it up for me in a picture going "Lauren's work is gay and wouldn't let her come"

[Erin]

:D so cool

[Bec]

Didn't you tell them you didn't mind working over new years though Lauren?

And gay isn't a negative woooooooooooooooooord.

[Erin]

it means haaaaaaaapyyyy :D

[Bec]

or homosexual :p

[RollOn]

Yes I do mean gay. As in Lauren's work is so happy with her that they want her to work! haha

OK use the word stingy or dodgy then if that sounds better. I honestly wasn't using it negatively.


I told them I didn't mind working over new years, but that was before I knew about this!

[RollOn]

i'm kinda tempted to go just so that i can say i saw the living end on New Years Eve AND so i can hang out with some forumers - alas i don't know if this shall be the case...

dang!

*M!

Actually according to Maddie's parent's we are all a bad influence so don't bother coming. :p
I'm only saying that coz I won't be there haha go and have fun for me!

[Bec]

I know you weren't meaning it as in gays are bad or anything, it just annoys me when people use it like that.
So they're not really that dodgy if you already told them you'd work over new years :p But okay!
We kinda are bad influences really. Oh well!

[Colezy]

i'm kinda tempted to go just so that i can say i saw the living end on New Years Eve AND so i can hang out with some forumers - alas i don't know if this shall be the case...

dang!

*M!
Mmmm, TLE on NYE is GREAT!! Well it was in '04!! :p
I didn't have any forumers there with me though..well I did, but I didn't know Sarah back then!

Not sure if our family holiday is still going ahead as planned, so I might not be going to pyramid. I really want to though.

[Bec]

Yay! I got tickets :D
If people are considering going I suggest getting tickets now because they'll probably sell out soon..

[mel_bound]

THANK YOU BEC!!!

I'm going on a holiday! *dances*

[Bec]

YOU'RE WELCOME MEL!

I'm excited :D

[maddie]

How excited Bec? :p

Actually according to Maddie's parent's we are all a bad influence so don't bother coming. :p
I'm only saying that coz I won't be there haha go and have fun for me!

Haha jeez Lauren you sound more bitter about it than me! And I'm the one who has to live with it!!!

No none of you are bad influences. I consider the mullets in my class who go out to night clubs each weekend with fake IDs, get smashed and high on drugs and partake in sexual activities with random guys to be bad influences. NOT YOU GUYS.

That said, have an awesome time. My spirit will be coming along to this one for sure!

[Bec]

REAL EXCITED!

No none of you are bad influences. I consider the mullets in my class who go out to night clubs each weekend with fake IDs, get smashed and high on drugs and partake in sexual activities with random guys to be bad influences. NOT YOU GUYS.


Who says we don't? :eek:

[mel_bound]

Who says we don't? :eek:

Shhhh Bec, it's bad enough as it is...



:p

[Bec]

Ooh ooh - I just got an email from Oztix about Silverchair:

The acclaimed, multiplatinum selling group will perform at the Queens Wharf Brewery on December 31 with special guests the Beautiful Girls, Something With Numbers and a local band comp. winner.

So if they're playing on new years eve somewhere else.... does that mean TLE will be more likely to play new years eve at Pyramid Rock? :D

[Colezy]

I reckon so!!

[Bec]

Oh man that's awesome!
I reeeeally hope so!

[Gertrude]

got my tickets :)

[cdejonge]

Got my tickets too! Too many pages to catch up on here :p

How dodgy were all the extra charge? Cost me an extra $17 on top of original price.

Is anybody else going for the 3 days?

[Bec]

I think we only had to pay an extra $6.75 for ours, though we got them from the ticketmaster place in person so we don't have to pay postage or anything.
Mel and I have the two day tickets but we're booked into the appartmenty place from the 29th til the 5th (we might not stay the whole time but the prices were done weekly so it would have cost the same if we booked less days)

[cdejonge]

Yeah I had to do it on the Internet, because I was at a friend's place doing Uni work. Still, it should be good!

[Gertrude]

nah we just got the 2 day since we'll be staying at a mates house near there and don't need to go in early to set up and such

[cdejonge]

nah we just got the 2 day since we'll be staying at a mates house near there and don't need to go in early to set up and suchI'm not entirely sure why I got 3 days :p Well I was thinking:
- get there early and beat the rush (like the website said)
- see some movies
- was only $20 more
- I haven't got anything better to do anyway!

Might see some of you there!

[Gertrude]

haha nah i'm too broke as it is to afford the extra $20!
here's something random- i was listening to the white room today and i liked what i heard. true story

[mel_bound]

we need to have a meet up. Oh man am I excitered :D :D :D :D

I haven't been on a holiday in aaaaaaages. Coz I don't like going out with the fam. But this is gonna be goooooood! ^_^

[cdejonge]

i was listening to the white room today and i liked what i heard. true storyThis girl has good taste :D They're playing at Bang! on October 21st I think (I should know what date, because I can't go as my bro is gettting married that day). You should check them out.

There's also an all ages in Epping next month. I might go to that.

Back on the topic, meet up sounds good Mel.

[trina]

The guy with the waterbottle, that totally narrows it down. :p
Trina and Caiti will also be going I think, though I'm not sure if you know them. They don't post very much.
I'm getting way too excited about this even though it's not for a few months.
Ahh I just noticed you're going to Zombie Ghost Train so I might see you there first.
Thats me!
I just got my tickets :)
Very very excited.
Now begins the 3 month wait....

[cdejonge]

Hi Trina. Don't forget to request From Here On In to be played at Pyramid, on TLE's myspace :)

[Colezy]

Cam, would you like me to do it too? Even though i cant go now?! :p

[cdejonge]

Yes that would be great! Maybe we should request closer to the date?

[Bec]

Requesting now gives them heaps of time to practice though! So they can't say 'oh but we haven't played that in ages, it would just sound crap'

And yes Nicole pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease request it :D

[cdejonge]

They played part of it in the EP medleys, so they should be right. :)

[May]

They played part of it in the EP medleys, so they should be right. :)

Correction. They teased us with it as part of the EP medley...

[hillaas]

Maybe one of you should make a FHOI petition. That would get em to play it.

[cdejonge]

Correction. They teased us with it as part of the EP medley...So true. So true :(

Andre, good idea but I think the boys are a bit busy at the moment to pay attention to a petition. They do seem to check their myspace comments though. I dunno, it probably won't even happen, but you never know.

[fordchick888]

nobody knows me but i've got 3 day tix, havent been to a festival before either so should be interesting!:) camping isnt feral is it?? Although i do camp at V8 races so i guess you cant get much more feral than that! :)

[cdejonge]

It's as feral as you want it to be. :p Can't imagine it being worse that at the V8 races. Argh, I'm not the only one with a 3 day ticket. Got mine in the mail today. :)

[fordchick888]

guess you are right! dont think i will attempt getting into the mosh though, had to get pulled over the front when i saw silverchair at waveaid, not something i want to go through again in a hurry!;)

[Rhiannon]

My ticket's only a 2 day pass. I only had $150 to my name at the time, so I settled for that. Don't think I'll need the 3 day pass, cause I'll be staying with friends then. I'm pretty clueless as to how the whole festival works, really...

[cdejonge]

I'm pretty clueless as to how the whole festival works, really...I think everything you need to know is on the website. I copied some info from an email I got a few pages back too.

[Kimjar]

It's not that hard. You get there, you pitch a tent, and you drink a lot and watch a few bands.

Word from the wise - take baby wipes for a "shower" and your own toilet paper.

[cdejonge]

It's not that hard. You get there, you pitch a tent, and you drink a lot and watch a few bands.

Word from the wise - take baby wipes for a "shower" and your own toilet paper.Pitch a tent? I thought it was just movies and some bands playing? What else is there? :p

I was thinking about taking my own toilet paper and also prepared to go 3 days without a shower. I should get a good position in the mosh that way ...

[Kimjar]

The mosh at Pyramid is easy, nothing like Big Day Out or anything. Unless you're uber keen you won't have to camp out on the barrier all day.

And Cam - that's just gross :p Though there are a lot of girls that run around in bikinis or less.

[Rhiannon]

I think everything you need to know is on the website. I copied some info from an email I got a few pages back too.

Yeah, I checked out the site. I guess I'm more getting at the feel of it. Knowing how it'll run, how early I've gotta be there to try and get a good spot, how packed it's gonna be ... I don't think I'm really articulating that well lol.

[Kimjar]

Be prepared to leave yourself about 3 hours to get there from Melbourne, the car lines to get in can take a while.

And if it's anything like last year, they don't check cars for booze.

[cdejonge]

And Cam - that's just gross :p Though there are a lot of girls that run around in bikinis or less.I'll pack some extra supplies then ;)

[*M!]

unless you feel like running around in a bikini or less :p

*M!

[cdejonge]

Not those sort of supplies ... but yeah I was joking anyway. I'll see how I feel as to whether I bring the old bikini out :p

[*M!]

man i'm so naive!

:O

and now i'm blushing... i should just learn to keep my mouth shut!

*M!

[cdejonge]

I'm not sure what you thought I meant before or what you think I meant now. So I've successfully confused things. :)

[*M!]

*keeps mouth shut*

hooray for learning!

*M!

[KillingInTheNameOf]

I'd go just to see Karnivool

But the gig/idea in general puts me off.
Way too much effort; it'd be better off sneaking in along the coastline when the tide is out

[cdejonge]

Too much effort for what?

C'mon Grumma, come keep me company ;)

[TLE_rok]

I can go but im not trusted with one of my friends without an adult and my parents are refusing to go
so it looks like im sitting this one out :(

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Too much effort for what?

C'mon Grumma, come keep me company ;)

Like cost, tent, food n crap

[Gertrude]

Like cost, tent, food n crap

cost- ask for it for a christmas present
tent- garbage bag + stick
food- it's only a couple days, you dont need to eat

[Rhiannon]

Lol! Yeah, who needs food when you have The Living End?

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Worst logic ever :p

[*M!]

...unless of course you were anti TLE and you were a cannibal too!

*M!

[cdejonge]

cost- ask for it for a christmas present
tent- garbage bag + stick
food- it's only a couple days, you dont need to eatExactly! And with food, hang around my car. I'm sure to have shitloads!

[KillingInTheNameOf]

That YOU will eat Im sure Cammy boy :p

[cdejonge]

That YOU will eat Im sure Cammy boy :pYes, but I always have too much. Damn, now half the people will be hovering around my car :confused:

[mel_bound]

You shouldn't have invited us Cam!! :p

[cdejonge]

I didn't invite anybody ... technically :p

[RollOn]

I wonder how many people are going to swamp your car at various times of the night looking for food?! haha
Good luck with that Cam!

[Rhiannon]

If I wasn't staying with people I might have been inclined to join in.

[cdejonge]

You mean staying outside of the venue? You're welcome to join in ... whatever it is people are joining in. Just leave me some food!

[RollOn]

I'm pretty sure we're all joining in your big food giveaway you big bafoon.

Now look what you've started!!

[cdejonge]

Pyramid Rock what? *looks around*

[Rhiannon]

Yeah. My mum's fiance's sister's daughter lives in Phillip Island, I'm going with her kids and one of their partners. I'm really not too sure how we'll all be getting there or whatever, all they said is that they don't camp out cause they live pretty close. There'll probably be a lot of last minute planning. But they've gone every year it's been running, so I trust they'll know exactly what's going on.

I'll be sure to leave you food! Now, if you have vanilla coke that may be a different matter...

[cdejonge]

I love vanilla coke, but I doubt I'll be bring any. So you can bring some for me! Aww, you'll have proper accomodation :( While I'm in my uncomfy tent [/whinge]

[Rhiannon]

Oh I'll definitely have some. *plans to bring extra*

Maybe we should swap accomodation lol. I love camping, I was kinda bummed when I found out we weren't doing it.

[Bec]

Ah I'd have loved to camp too
Not generally big on camping but I reckon the atmosphere camping at a music festival would be great

Ooh on TLE's myspace it says:
Dec 31 2006 8:00P Pyramid Rock Festival (NYE) Phillip Island

I dunno if the time and everything is right or not but I really hope it is New Years Eve they're playing! Though it would be cool if they played late enough to bring in the New Year. Or they could play from 8 til midnight? I'd be happy with that :D

[mel_bound]

I would be too! :p

[Rhiannon]

I doubt they'd be as happy with that as us lol. 4 hour concert... that would be pretty exhausting, but awesome nonetheless.

[cdejonge]

Oh I'll definitely have some. *plans to bring extra*

Maybe we should swap accomodation lol. I love camping, I was kinda bummed when I found out we weren't doing it.Hmm, sounds tempting. Could say something dodgy but won't :p I've heard camping can get dodgy with the drunks, so dunno who has the better deal.

In regard to TLE's playing time, I think 8pm is the default myspace gig time thingy. Hope it's NYE though!

I won't forget that Vanilla Coke Rhiannon!

[Rhiannon]

Oooh, good point.

(Don't mention drunks to mum who is already paranoid I wont be leaving Phillip Island alive)

[cdejonge]

This probably won't excite many people, but Behind Crimson Eyes have been announced to play at Pyramid.

[Bec]

Oh that reminds me, apparantly a heap more acts were announced in some street press, but I didn't see it and I can't remember who they were. I'm not very helpful am I.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Thanks for posting those Bec!

Looks like we might actually have something to do whilst not watching/stalking TLE

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Your favourite local emo/screamo boys :p

Still no idea :p

And woo!

ive heard of Sunk Loto and thats it haha

[cdejonge]

Check their myspace:
Behind Crimson Eyes (http://www.myspace.com/behindcrimsoneyes)

I used to like their very early stuff, but now it's all screamo.

[State_Of_Emergency]

ooooo now i wish i could come along. (oh well, there isn't really a HEAP of bands that i wanted to see anyway)

TLE will do another concert, i'm sure of it.. and I'm NoT GoNnA miss it! :D

[fordchick888]

[QUOTE=cdejonge;25657]Argh, I saw The Casanovas for free a few weeks ago. A few people told me they didn't like them ... and I agreed :p

was that gig at HiFi? i won free tix to see them and i actually loved them! If you went to the same gig, what did you think of The Lost Gospel??

[fordchick888]

oops, that didnt quite work!! :confused: Still learning!

[Bec]

That was almost right, you just need to add [/quote] to the end of the quote :)

[fordchick888]

thanks heaps Bec, guess its hard to teach an old dog new tricks!!:p

[cdejonge]

was that gig at HiFi? i won free tix to see them and i actually loved them! If you went to the same gig, what did you think of The Lost Gospel??I saw them at Ruby's in Belgrave. I didn't hate them. Just couldn't get into them. They didn't play bad or anything. Thinking back I was probably a little tired at the time, and I wasn't familar with much of their stuff. I'll probably enjoy them more at a festival.

[fordchick888]

yeh, i only knew the song they released on the radio, but the album is kinda cool!Sad thing is The Casanovas are the only band on the added line up that i know :o
Obviously i need to broaden my taste!

[KillingInTheNameOf]

I dont know any :p

[cdejonge]

Word from the wise - take baby wipes for a "shower" and your own toilet paper.I told Mum about the baby wipes and she came back from shopping yesterday with a pack for me. Great pack too - has all these cute baby pictures on it. :rolleyes:

[cdejonge]

Mammal are also playing now apparently. For those who knew Full Scale, Ezekiel Ox (Vocals) plays with them. Zane is drummer from Jika. Pete is guiatrist from Pete Murray's band.

Not sure on any other definite times, but Something With Numbers are playing at 10:30AM on the 30th. I think TLE are playing around 8PM on NYE.

[Waffle*On]

For those who are heading there, hope its better then last years. Not that I had a bad time, but it wasn't organised very well, the 7 hours of sitting in traffic once we actually got there - so not including the actual time it took for us to get to Phillip Island - was horrible.

When I go to Falls Festival I bring those baby wipes with me, one of the most important things to take along!

The atmosphere was really friendly and laid back though. Wish I had the money for tickets!

I have a question: Did many people walk around with backpacks at the festival? I want to stash my food, clothing, camera, etc in there. It wasn't a problem at BDO. Only problem I can see is it getting in the way in the mosh.

[mel_bound]

and is there any chance of us 'bumping' into TLE around the festival? :p

[cdejonge]

and is there any chance of us 'bumping' into TLE around the festival? :pI reckon there could be at a festival. I haven't been to many, so can't accurately comment however.

[Julian]

I think by 'bumping into' Mel meant stalking.

Yeah, baby wipes or just any kind of facial wipes are really, really good for festivals!

Talking about the long car trips and waiting in lines reminds me and the 2004-2005 falls festival at Marion Bay. Nearly everyone that I knew there had to wait 4-5 hours to get in, plus the 30 mins it took them to get in the general area. On the other hand though, myself and the 3 friends I went with took a total of 35 minutes. That's from the moment we left my friends house, to the moment we got in the gates! :p We had the advantage of being locals and knowing the "back roads" cause falls is held only about 30km from out houses! Everyone else was spewing when they found out!

I have a question: Did many people walk around with backpacks at the festival? I want to stash my food, clothing, camera, etc in there. It wasn't a problem at BDO. Only problem I can see is it getting in the way in the mosh.
If you take a bag, make it small and make it light-weight. It sucks having to carry a bag all day. Plus if its small, there is less chance that other people will want you to carry stuff for them! :p Oh and if you take it in the mosh people will get pissed off and your food will no longer be edible! :p

and is there any chance of us 'bumping' into TLE around the festival?
I don't know about bigger festivals like BDO, Homebake and maybe even Pyramid, but at falls, the only bands/artists wondering around were the local ones cause they can go unrecognised. As for TLE, heaps of people would be stopping them to talk/have photos/get stuff signed because of their little popularity burst recently, so maybe they'd just get there when they need to be there?? Also, don't they have a gig the day beore aswell as the day after??

The only time I know of someone meeting a band at a festival is a few of my friends who at the 04/05 falls got past security and met Missy Higgins, John Butler, Spiderbait and a few local acts. They even got a glimsp of TLE too, but they're not really into them so they didn't say hi. Too bad they didn't take me! :p

[*M!]

and your food will no longer be edible! :p
unless of course... (like me)
you're into puree's, baby foods and the like!

*M!

[dirty man]

yes, but we're not all like you, thankfully.

WIN TICKETS TP PYRAMID! :)

[*M!]

yeah - it makes more sense for it to be here Liz

i want to go - but even if i managed to win tickets i don't know if i could get the time off work AND it's near my Cousin's big 21st birthday...

*shrugs*

it'd've been a good excuse to finally get to Melbourne though

*M!

[mel_bound]

Phillip Island isn't really near melbourne :p

[*M!]

it's closer than i'll have ever been!

:p

thanks for making me feel like a loser Mel :p

plus - i'd still be able to see most of what i wanted to see if i was able to go...

*grumbles*

*M!

[Liz]

Isn't Phillip Island where the fairy penguins are?
Man, I love fairy penguins. :p

[mel_bound]

You could go to Melbourne no worries, but the distance makes either one more than a day trip :)
and yeah Phillip Island has the fairy penguins, but you're not allowed to call them that anymore, they're 'little penguins' :p

[*M!]

who said that what i wanted to see was in Melbourne when Pyramid is on :p

*giggles*

na - thanks for the advice Mel - i have no idea - hooray

i hope the fairy penguins like loud music...

*M!

[mel_bound]

Oh yeah, those penguins rock out! I wouldnt be surprised if the mosh was half penguin! :D We'll have to tread carefully.

[*M!]

hehe - they'd fit right in - there's always lots of penguin-y colours at gigs these days :D

damn - maybe i should hijack my cousin and take her there for her 21st so i can get what i want :p

hehe - there's going to be so many boarders there - i want to party with you all (or at least - most of you - i don't know who exactly'll be there now that i think about it)

can we have a party when i come to visit even if there isn't a gig associated with it?

*M!

[mel_bound]

sure! Well, I'm going down with Bec's fam so best ask them :p
We'll kidnap.. invite TLE along too!

[Liz]

If I win the competition can I be invited? *puppy dog eyes* Pwease? :p

[*M!]

woot - tales of kidnapping TLE are almost worth a seperate conversation (not another thread - that would be wrong but yeah - i shall not take up this thread with my dreaming)

oh wait... i already did!

why's it called Pyramid rock festival?
(the rock festival bit is pretty self explanatory really - but Pyramid?)

*M!

[mel_bound]

No no no no, it's Pyramid Rock festival

Pyramid Rock is the place it's being held at :p
Hence, the pyramid shaped rock to the left:

[*M!]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh h

geez - that makes SO much more sense now - and makes me feel like an uneducated twit

hooray

all my dreams have come true at once!

*M!

[mel_bound]

naw it's OK! i made that mistake myself but don't tell anybody :P

[*M!]

hehe - i like feeling good stupid Mel - thankyou :p

*M!

[AlinaPOW]

sure! Well, I'm going down with Bec's fam so best ask them :p
We'll kidnap.. invite TLE along too!

haha, nice save there.
Its my debut in this thread. I was too upset about not being allowed to go to bother upsetting myself more. i'm semi-over it now...

[Erin]

i entered the channel V competition to go, but i got the big NO from my mother. i hope i don't win

I could just imagine all th epeople getting chucked in the sea right now...:D

[AlinaPOW]

I visted Pyramid Rock on biology camp. This was like a week after Pyramid tickets went on sale and I wasn't allowed to go and I was cranky when I saw the rock and then the smelly old hairy crappy boring tour guide informed me that he had HIS tickets. I felt like chucking him off the rock pool we were meant to be surveying.

[cdejonge]

Less than one month to go :) For anybody going, make sure you check out Something With Numbers on the first day at 10:30am.

[hillaas]

TLE is playing on the 31st/1st at 12.pm for all you going. And andy said in the article in Inpress that he would like to do Ald Lang Syne at midnight while everyone's maiking out.

[Bec]

OH WOW ARE YOU SERIOUS?!
THAT'S AWESOME
whoot

[hillaas]

Wehn Mel scans the article you can read i for yaself!

[Bec]

Oh.
He said he thought they were a that they are gonna play some time near midnight.
Geez way to get me excited :p

[hillaas]

Well it'll be good anyway!

[Rhiannon]

That's awesome news. I'm getting so excited now.

Ahaha, I don't want to be surrounded by people making out.

[mel_bound]

Ahaha, I don't want to be surrounded by people making out.

Neither. That'd make me feel lonely and depressed :p

OH MY GOD it's so soon... BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! :eek:

[Bec]

Don't worry Mel, I'll not make out with you :p

[hillaas]

Boy Bec, you're so kind :p

[Bec]

Aren't I just. :)

Mmm.. 22 days

[Rhiannon]

Gah, I'm pretty much going to explode from excitement right now! M'yes, cannot wait until Christmas is over and I'm on my way there.

[mel_bound]

Don't worry Mel, I'll not make out with you :p

Yay! haha.

nice one mel!

[Rhiannon]

I for one am scarred for life. =|

[Colezy]

TLE will start their set before midnight cause that way they get to do the countdown!! Well thats the way it went when they did NYE at Falls. :)

[AlinaPOW]

I can't imagine a better way to ring in the New Year, honestly. *sigh*
I'm going crazy at the moment entering a bunch of Pyramid competitions. Even if I do win any though, apparantely the parentals still don't like the idea. Grrrrr... If i win though, there is nothing in the universe that'll stop me going!

[Colezy]

I'd LOVE to go. My friend and I are nearly depressed cause she is a Silverchair nut and then there's TLE for me, so we'd pretty much be in heaven for the whole trip. Who wants to pay for us to get over there and magically find us tickets???

[*M!]

the more i hear about it the more i want to go
so if there is a magical ticket for me too

*M!

[Rhiannon]

I entered a few comps, too, but mainly cause of the whole 'backstage pass to meet The Living End' portion of the prize. If I won I'd sell my ticket pretty cheaply, but I wont, I never win anything haha.

[*M!]

i call first dibbs on your ticket if you do win one Rhi! :p

*M!

[Rhiannon]

Deal! 10 characters and such.

[*M!]

huzzah!
haha - i'll just tell my family to bugger off and that i'm going to melbourne early instead of going to my cousin's 21st

hehe

good plan

*M!

[Rhiannon]

Haha, I thought it would be an opportune time to check one of the sites I entered while I remembered, and I didn't win. Why am I not surprised? I'm not too disappointed, though.

[AlinaPOW]

Was that ze Channel V one? 'Coz scummy channel v wouldn't even let me register, let alone enter!

[cdejonge]

I emailed about set times and got this:
Hi Cameron,

Thanks for your interest in Pyramid Rock Festival,
In response to your question/s:

A timetable outlining the entertainment schedule (and full line up) will be posted on the website shortly, (if not already existent and available online)

Please feel free to subscribe to our website mailing list and receive exclusive member’s updates on any Pyramid Rock Festival announcements & competitions,
Didn't really help me ...

[Rhiannon]

Was that ze Channel V one? 'Coz scummy channel v wouldn't even let me register, let alone enter!

Whups! I only saw this now, and yeah, it was. That sucks =( I registered back whenever it was to vote for TLE for Oz Artist of the Year so I had no issues there. That stupid site makes my computer lag so badly, though.


That mailing list is crap. I've only gotten one email. Almost all the news/updates I've read about here.

[cdejonge]

Yeah, I've had about 2 emails. At least they reply to you when you email them directly though.

[mel_bound]

I dunno if this has been posted but The Buzz have a comp for a Pyramid double pass too.

and I've actually won something from that mag too, *ME*, so there's much chance that someone would win those tickets. :p

[cdejonge]

Nice!

Everybody, don't forget to start requesting FHOI for Pyramid on TLE's myspazz again. :)

16 days ...

[mel_bound]

Pfft, I've been requesting Ape Face for about a month.

VOTE 1 APE FACE!

[cdejonge]

If we vote for more than one song it won't work Mel! You can have Ape Face next TLE gig :p Speaking of that, I saw some festival in NSW in April next year. Awesome lineup including TLE and Hilltop Hoods. Oh, and Wolfwother :s

[mel_bound]

The Great Escape? That's old news. Old old news.

And nah, Ape Face all the way. :p

[cdejonge]

Oh yeah, I thought that festival looked familar :p

Mel! We're gonna end up getting a request of something that they'll play anyway at this rate ...

[Bec]

Pfft. You can't sing along to Ape Face. The crowd will get bored.

Give up Mel, everyone else wants FHOI :p

Yep, Cam and I are everyone.

[Caiti]

I want Bringin' It All Back Home :P

[mel_bound]

Pfft. You can't sing along to Ape Face. The crowd will get bored.

NO NO NO NO :p

[Bec]

Nah, Cam and I are still winning :p
I just bugged TLE about it on myspace.
Whoot
14 days, how exciting :D

[cdejonge]

I doubt it will work. At best, they'll probably play the EP Medley, which is great but just isn't enough for me :( If they don't do any old stuff, I hope they play Monday.

[Bec]

When I asked Scott after the first gig at the palace about whether they could play FHOI the next day he did say it was possible.
But they'll probably want to play some more recent stuff.

[mel_bound]

But they'll probably want to play some more recent stuff.
APE FACE! ten characters!

[AlinaPOW]

Mel, if they haven't gotten the hint by now, then they are the slowest musicians in the world.

[mel_bound]

They play faster than I can. LOL!!!1_ :P

[AlinaPOW]

Slow in the head I meant. Durrrrrrrrrrrrr.

[mel_bound]

it was a jooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooke, read the white :p
