Reason #465 why Dragonfly is the BEST HOUSEMATE IN THE WORLD.

Remember how I was like 'oh woe, Robbie Williams tickets sold out in under half an hour?'

Well, a week or two ago I happened hear on the radio that there was going to be a second show, tickets on sale 9am the next morning.

Me - Oh crap, I'll be at work. Dragonfly, feel like wasting half your morning trying to get through on the phone?
Dfly - *shrugs and nods*

I forgot all about it.

I've just walked into the kitchen and there are two Robbie Williams tickets stuck to the wall just above eye level.

I have NO idea how long they've been there.

That calls for a happy octopus.

Cool!

Robbie is really really LOUD BTW, so before you go I should give you some of my stage earplugs - they cut down the actual damaging db but still allow clear sound to filter through. So you hear the music perfectly but with no bad tinnitus after effects.

Um, sure?

I think we're pretty much at the back though *g*

When he played a UK gig awhile back, there was a news report that he could be heard 15 miles away.

Clearly.

I reckon you should have some ear protection - just in case!

I think it's possible technology may have had something to do with that.

But sure, I'd be happy to borrow them :)

Hey, I ain't gonna force 'em on you! One 200db concert probably won't make you bleed anyway :)

But I'll get some to you and like the adult you are, you can choose whether or not to use protection :D

PS: Love the Veronica Mars icon. I want one!

You can take it, it's a shareable one I got I forget where.

Anything over 150, you will have tatters of eardrums

Of course I was exaggerating!

Anyway, doesn't Perth have some kind of law capping the limit on concert db? I seem to recall this being a problem some years back when Mick Jagger played here:

"You wot? Turn the volume down? I don't bleeding think so! We crank to 11 or we don't play the bleeding gig!"

Seriously. A compromise was found - the gig went ahead.

I'm laughing because I can just imagine Dragonfly's expression! She rocks. So do you. *hugs*

I saw Robbie on his last tour and it was fantabulosa!!!
