Come On, Come On, Come On, Come On!


The day had finally arrived, Robbie was in town...and so were Roz and Jen!

To avoid the post-concert-rush (aka: Tool-o-rama) they decided to stay at the Cosmo in Brisbane. Also, it was Roz's turn to shout, so Jen was all "I'm there!"
At the hotel, after an hour or so of "what am I gonna wear?" (4 different ensembles each) "how should I have my hair?"(why didn't Jen bring her brush?) they decided to start the 10 minute walk to the venue.

Arriving at Suncorp Stadium at 4:30 (4 hours before game on.... robbie on) it was a bit of a sit-down affair. As they were up close they were PUMPED!! Everyone was chatting, laughing, getting along famously, shoes off, relaaax; when all of a sudden there was a stampede! People were up, panicking and running/pushing to the front, Roz and Jen had to put their shoes on, pick up (lidless) water, phones, etc. all in a matter of seconds. They still managed to hold down an excellent position. However it was now standing up for the next 3 hours, until robbie arrived.




After much time wasting from Sneaky Sound System, (Roz and Jen's constant pointing to their watches did not help matters) Robbie came out, much to everyone's delight!

KH (you know who you are) said "...no cameras are allowed, or any recording equipment, it will be confiscated!" So the GOOD camera stayed home. But alas this proved to be incorrect. (Shots taken with Jen's mobile.)
After 5 hours of standing in sweltering, squashed, cramped conditions, no water, no food, no air, Roz decided that she was close to passing out. Jen took one look at Roz and not wanting a repeat Coldplay-Sally moment, she grabbed Roz's arm, and ejected her from the crowded 'Field A'. (boo!!!)

An excellent night was had by all, Robbie Rocks, even though later he drove past the hotel in his limo deciding not to drop in this time for a cup of tea.
