Hrmmm I think two options here..everyone let me know what you think!!!
I know most people wanna get there early so that they can be near the barrier, so maybe we can meet in the drinks area at the convention centre and exhibition centre..which is in the foyer just outside the great hall, where they are playing. The show starts at 7:30pm so I'm not sure when doors open, but anywhere from five to six would be safe. Then after the show we can wander over to the fox.
Or meet at the fox at around 3-4pm and have a few drinks and wander over to gig.
I would love to catch up regardless

i think i'd prefer drinks after the gig, no time constraints, and they can always be celebratory as we've just seen the pumpkins  |

i'd like to meet up earlier, because then you are a bigger force when getting to the barrier as opposed to one person getting nudged out of the way, and also when we are in line waiting the ozphorians who get in later can come up to the front and join us, and no-one can argue with us.
we could meet at the fox before the show and then after the show, the convention centre drinks would be expensive.

i thought lining up together was a given.. i thought we were talking about getting drinks somewhere either before or after? i think we were but i stuffed it. we can meet at the fox before or the convention centre before for drinks. need to sort out: 1. which one 2. what time and soon. convention centre will be expensive but easier to find each other fox will be cheaper but slightly harder to find. im planning to be in brisbane about 1pm, i think sunky said theyd be there about then also. |

well by the looks of it, the fox looks REALLY close to convention center, so shouldn't be that hard. i'll be putting up the maps with google maps on the tour blog!
ok. so for people before the show, the Fox at 1pm? and then again after the show.

Yes yes definitely true! We have to keep in mind that there may be other hard core Pumpkins fans who don't go on the forums but could be lining up from midday for a top spot? And if we're up close and we've been to the pub before hand we'll need to pee. and that will suck. |

And if we're up close and we've been to the pub before hand we'll need to pee. and that will suck. i've done this before when seeing live, and if theres a whole group of us it doesn't matter, because some can go to the toilet while others hold the line. (if they don't like it we can strangle them with our ozphoria wrist bands!) We can also send volunteers over to the convention centre while we are at the fox to check on the line, and as soon as there is one we can move over to there. I'm getting very excited! |

Sounds like it's all sorted. Although I'd find it hard to squeeze my way out and then back into a mosh (?) at 7.15 just before they're about to come on. .. Who would have thought this would be so difficult! |

i sort of picture it like germany invading poland, (ozphoria being germany and lone dudes lining up infront of us being poland). ofcourse if you wanna look at history as a whole rather then just a small invasion, it mightn be the wisest thing to do  |

My hotel is just up the road so if anyone gets too pissed you are welcome to crash there - just try and make sure it is after the show |

HEY ALL! BLOODY LONG TIME NO SEE/HEAR/SPEAK!!! I live in Brisbane and lived two seconds down the road from where the gig is so I can confirm that the Fox is basically across the road from the Convention Centre, but the place is pretty crap.  But then considering what we'll be off to see afterwards I guess it won't matter too much. |
