LOL yep 18 more sleeps!! :rocker.... and I'm getting all school-girlish in that I jump around more than I used to (and I'm very unfit these days!!) - see what madness can do to you!! I need a CURE! - ah, that sounds really naff, sorry people :roll:!
Someone has mentioned Curefans T-Shirts to me, anyone else aware of these and are they going to get one and wear it??? I prob. won't, as I've kinda figured out what I will wear... (you may or may not recall I was troubled over the question "to wear a Cure shirt or not to wear a Cure shirt" to the gig...) Anyway, no one has really mentioned the meet up lately either... has anyone planned anything? Are we going to try and storm the gates and get backstage??? I've forgotten who was doing the reckie to see what the layout was before hand... any news on that front???

Have just discovered that the Sydney people are lucky enough to get a "myspace secret show"! :shock: Apparently they post a bulletin a day before or something to advise of where and when, and first in best dressed policy applies. Shame they chose to do it in Sydney. I guess they just decided that the demand in Sydney for their time was greater! I suppose having 2 shows and then a 'secret show' is to cover their bases, so everyone gets a chance to see 'em. My complaint however is that I have paid alot of mney to see them, and some people are going to be lucky enough to see them for free! :smth011 Seems a tad unfair in some respects. I wish they would do a 'secret show' for each city! Lucky bastards that get to go. I bet it will be more intimate too! Ah, wish I could go to it.

The paid shows we're going to will be longer and much better, for sure. 

Anyway, I'm here to report back on my scoping out of Rod Laver Arena.  I was there on Thursday and Friday night for Gwen Stefani.  On Thursday night, we waited for an hour after the show, on the bridge/walkway next to the cafe (to the right of the main doors when facing them from the outside).

There's the rail of the walkway, then a good 5+ metres of plants, then another big wire fence.  There was no way to get down there.  When she finally came out after an hour, she just waved and got in the car.  She couldn't have come up & signed things anyway, because of the stupid gardenbed & fences.  I can only assume that you'd need to be working on the show to get into the carpark down there.

I got Gwen's attention on Friday night by making a sign, and she took a photo with me during the show, but I didn't actually officially meet her.

So yeah, that's my news.  I'm sorry that it's not what you wanted to hear, but I think it's pretty damn difficult to meet after the shows. 

HOWEVER...
Friends of mine were hanging around the arena early in the afternoon (3pm-ish) and got to have a quick conversation with her.  The BEST way to meet them, apparently, is at the airport.  So, if you've got the time and dedication, then that would be my advice.  You'd have to be prepared to wait around all day though...

Thanks for your efforts SaraElise. Maybe just hanging around after the show hoping for a wave or a sign or something.............it could still be good :D
