Panic tour dates - Australia/New Zealand

Yay, didn't need to wait til after uni tonight to find out, there was an email from Frontier Touring (embedded music at linked page) when I woke up, announcing the tour.

And the support act - The Academy Is...! I'm so happy (apart from the awkwardness of role reversal). Wonder if they'll be missing the last show(s) on Warped, since it doesn't end til the 17th?

Wed 20th August - Brisbane Entertainment Center
Friday 22nd August - Acer Arena Sydney
Saturday 23rd August - Rod Laver Arena
Monday 25th August - Adelaide Entertainment Center
Wednesday 27th August - Burswood Dome Perth
Saturday 30th August - Vector Arena Auckland

Prices are tending to be about $76 for GA and reserved seating, and $88 for "Panic Pit" (which I cannot find an explanation for - anyone? I'm guessing they mean front section of floor, at venues which can be split, and the whole floor at other venues). Pity the Sydney venue is Acer and not Ent Centre.

So, Sydney and Melbourne, yes! I'm not sure about any other shows, my work situation then is completely unknown. Adelaide is tempting, but I'd have to have Monday and Tuesday off. Maybe Brisbane, I could fly up late Wed afternoon and come back first thing in the morning, if I do have a new job and getting time off is tricky.

Presale through Frontier Touring - Thursday 10th April midday (fuck, I have a tutorial then)
Presale through Visa Entertainment - Monday 7th April 9am

Please take note the following ticket limits apply:
Panic Pit - 2 per person
General Admission - 4 per person
Reserved Seating - 6 per person

happy anniversary to me

I've been on livejournal six years tonight. Six years since I gave in to this new-fangled fad and got a code from someone in IRC on Squidge.

Livejournal really changed the way I participated in fandom. While I'm not saying it is superior in every way to mailing lists and usenet, I've found myself far more personally involved and connected than I did on them (though how much of that is lj and how much is me is debateable, of course. IRC played quite a role in that before lj for me).

Of course, I've tracked good points in my life, and not so good (and overall, how little I've managed to progress my life in important ways, whoops).

I've been through a bunch of fandoms in those six years, though pop has been the dominant one, as I got into that in late 2002. (If you'd told me that six years ago, how important an RPF fandom would be for me, I wouldn't have believed you.)

But of course it's the people who've made lj special, the people I've gotten to know and the friends I've made, all around the world. ♥

[The only other time I've remembered to note the anniversary was after two years. At which point I was at 565 journal entries, and posted 3,599 comments.]

Gotta use this icon, it's been my default for about half the time I've had my journal - I made it in January 2005, and it became my default a little while after that. I've never had the heart to rotate it out :)
