Newbie here, hope I'm not interrupting. There's a single ticket on the UK site with 4 days to run going for a quid at the moment so theres a chance the silly bids will calm down...at least into double figures anyway

One of my young trendy colleagues had the NME the other day and low and behold there was a Sisters advert in there. For some reason this date is missing.......?

Ah - but they normally like to advertise the fact that a gig is sold out. It makes them look really popular. :wink:

I saw in this months Q Magazine that there are 2 different adverts for the UK tour, 1 had all the UK dates except the Astoria and on a different page there's an ad' for the Astoria only. It must be a North / South thing :wink:

I tried to get my mum to send me the pic she took but it didn't work :evil: But I'm using a usb to load it on tomorrow. I love it so much, it was worth the pain! Because the lines in the eyes are so close together they have been blacked out because they would fade together anyway but that just makes it look darker! The star fades from black to dark purple aswell.
Sorry going on abit of a rant away from the astoria topic but I just wanted to let HLers know to keep an eye out so I could meet some of you, being new and feeling so welcomed so quickly!

:lol: doing better than that, wearing a long black and purple (sleevless) purple dress that you could spot a mile away most likely, although the temptation to put on my tour t-shirt as soon as I've bought it might be hard to resist!
I'll be refraining from buying the sisters gegen nazis shirt as my partner has a nan that was in a nazi prisoner of war camp and would go abit psycho if i ran into her with it on!...I'd be disowned in her mind for life although it might amuse the rest of the family! She's really scarey aswell :eek:

You want to be careful nobody stands on the hem then.
I'm sure your partners nan would appreciate the sentiment of smashing Nazis. Get her one. :wink:

2 weeks and 3 days :D I'm getting myself too hyped up and impatient looking at each live date thread. But my bf still hasn't given in to the idea of going to Ben Crouchs beforehand and I really want to meet some fellow HLers in person :(
