No soundcheck for me

Apparently the winners of Australian soundcheck passes have been sent out. And I failed in not getting my hopes up about it, cause I'm pretty down that I didn't. Maybe I'm psychic and my depression last night (random weepiness and insomnia, what fun) was actually in anticipation of this?

Anyone have better luck than me? Hopefully someone I know will get to go.

*frowns* That sucks, hon. My sympathies.

Thanks, and getting disappointing news when you didn't get enough sleep always makes things worse. Ah well, we'll see what we can do :)

Well that's a piss off. We'll get in anyway. I'm confident.

Dude. I did. You can, too.

*crosses things*

Just look for the big, hulking guy shaped like a refridgerator.

And just ask nicely? Or explain that I came from Canada? lol Or both?

[identity profile] bachelor-girl.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Ask nicely and, looking pathetic worked for me.

And, don't give up, if you're willing to sit around and wait. When we were in Kitchener, they had extra wristbands that they gave out to some of the people hanging around, right before soundcheck began. So, you know, you could always try.

What she said. Just join in the queue to go into soundcheck like you have tickets, and Marcus (it's always Marcus, I don't know why) will have to relay the number of people without passes back to the Powers That Be for X number of wristbands to get the people waiting around in. You won't end up near the front, but at least it's soundcheck.

We will be definitely trying this plan out, I predict. Thanks for the tips :)

[identity profile] erilyn.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
I should have known you guys would have a plan, this so cheered me up when I checked my email at work :)

Seriously, will anyone have travelled longer than you? I THINK NOT! *g*

They'll have to let you in ;)

That stinks. My Christmas wish for you is that someone gets them and takes you with them!

[identity profile] erilyn.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! We'll see what we can do at the time, maybe :)

Dood, if you feel like that and you want to chat or something, give me a call. I think we all do the random insomnia/crying thing now and then. I don't sleep much. What with the insomnia. So I don't mind if you wake me up.

Not that I even know what the soundtrack thing is, but I can make sympathetic noises. Or offer food. Not over the phone I guess, but you could always listen to me chew.

I think the lack of sleep lead to the crying, I was dwelling on stuff and making myself down and weepy. And I shall keep the offers in mind, thanks :)

The fanclub's been particularly assy as of late, including changing the way they give the soundcheck passes out. *hugs you tight*

[identity profile] erilyn.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
If only I'd been able to enlist minions to stuff the ballot box for me, darn it ;)

Actually, I think the Asian soundchecks sound like the fairest - everyone enters by a certain time so they can have a list of all the interested fanclub members, and pick from that. Better than emailing at a specific time or only from presale purchases, really.

*hugs* That sucks muchly but I hope that the suggestions work. It'll be bad karma for them to not let you in.

Thanks, the plotting is keeping hope alive :)

It's a friggin travesty! You were robbed! Where do we lodge the complaints?

Although it was more about numbers and the luck of the draw than deservedness, wasn't it? I'm sorry. *hugs*

[identity profile] erilyn.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 11:37 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, completely ignore my first reply, I was smoking the good crack when I wrote that obviously. I wonder how I misread your username that completely *g*.

Thanks, it does suck, we'll see what we can do though.

Aww. *huggies*

[identity profile] erilyn.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 11:38 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks, I'm still rather bummed about it.

[identity profile] trickyjazzer.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
Don't lose hope yet. Go early and ask if they have any left overs. That's what I did and got in. :) Look for Marcus...he's the one that gave me mine.

[identity profile] erilyn.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 11:38 am (UTC)(link)
We'll definitely have to try that, thanks :)

Awww, I'm so sorry honey! *hugs* You so would have deserved to go.

[identity profile] erilyn.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 11:39 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks, it'd have been nice. We'll try on the day, my hopes aren't high though.

I'll keep everything I have crossed that you manage to get in somehow. You deserve to, you're the best pop crack dealer ever! *sends lots of virtual hugs*

[identity profile] erilyn.livejournal.com 2005-12-23 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Awww, thank you so much. There's still a chance, I guess, so we'll see what happens :)

I'm so sorry.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that the plots above will help.

Thank you, I appreciate it :)
