sounds like a distinct lack of planning on everyone's behalf to me! =P I take it that everyone will just rock up to the switch bar or whatever on staurday night/sunday morning now... but what about us underage folk? :cry:
 
Well, I'm going to the friday night gig. I'll probably just rock up when the doors open (8:30). But I have no idea when Opeth will start or finish. So I can't really plan anything around that :p
 
so um.. let me get this straight. after the saturday show, everyone who wants to continue the fun is going to Switch? If i ask a cab driver to take me there, he'll know where that is? im from out of town so... im not up with the local scene stuff.

After doing a bit of research on the web, I found out that Switch is being held at the following address in melbourne:

Caseys Nightclub 660A South Railway Parade, Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn

Check out the website: (although there's nothing about the Opeth after party as far as I could tell)

Well, I know quite a lot of people going.. and I'm going both nights and meeting different crowds in there...
If I knew what you looked like and knew that you're not a psycho, you could come and drink with us. I'm spending most of both nights at the bar! :Smokin:
 
Switch is CASEYS BAR for the 37408374th time.

If you ask a cabbie to take you to Switch, he'll be like "what the fuck" - Casey's Bar BECOMES switch for saturday nights.

Casey's Bar = glenferrie rd, at glenferrie station


Apparently there are going to be busses from the gig to switch - unconfirmed.

I've already covered the location of the after party in a previous post... did u miss it?
As for the buses from the gig to switch - I doubt that highly! It's most probably a rumour. Where did u hear that from?

I'm sure we'll think of something, right PoS? :)
right. ;)

Yeah, I'll most likely be at Switch on Saturday. You guys should hook yourselves up with some fakeID and come, would be cool to meet. I'm going to the Friday gig though.
uhhhhh, don't you think if we'd hooked ourselves up with fakeID's we'd already be going to the overaged gigs with our friends, families, and loved ones? :(

besides, I'm from out of town. so I wouldn't know where to begin to look for stuff like that. :err: anyway, off to be with me!

Hehehe! Well usually when I'm drunk at gigs, I talk to everybody! I'm sure you'll have a blast dude. I'll keep an eye out for you. I'm about 6 foot, two eyebrow rings in my left eyebrow, long blonde/blonde hair, black jeans, black boots, and I'll be wearing a "my arms, your hearse" long sleeve. Basically, I look like a typical metalhead! lol.

Yeh man, its my 1st time seeing opth live, how could I not have a blast!
And if you look like a typical metal head...Ill look like the opposite...
But alchol is the gateway to socialisim, If drinking I wont buy the guy in the dark corner drinking alone, Ill now be the un-metal looking guy trying to talk to everyone...

Oh and only 2 nights to go!

Yeah i missed it, ah wells.

As for the busses, I remember reading it on the poster I saw at switch. I say it's a rumour cuz i was drunk. So you really shouldn't rely on that report.

I'm pretty darn sure, but I was also pretty darn drunk.

And yes! Only 2 nights to go for a killer weekend!! Woohoo!! :headbang:
