No signing stuff? And still no cassette? I really hope they will mail the cassette at a later time then. I assumed the VIP thing would be basically the same as what was stated on the site, at the time of booking it. On the upside, the concert footage I've seen is so exciting and I know it's going to be an amazing experience to see him live. So I'm still a happy girl. Just a bit disappointed to hear that the VIP bit is not going so well.

Yikes, I hope things go more smoothly and on schedule towards the end of the tour. I had an email with a time change for VIP just recently. I guess I'll just get there early and enjoy the wait. I hope to buy some merch. Much cheaper to buy there and take home than to ship overseas. It's nice that they let you choose a free shirt to help make up for the disorganisation. Must remember to bring a poster tube thingy with me so it doesn't get crushed in my baggage. Bit crap about the venue doing their own premium tickets. Also disappointing it's a group shot but end of the day I am grateful for the opportunity of this experience regardless. Signing multiple items is awesome. I don't know how big my group will be but I hope I can get at least 1 thing personally signed. What to transport such a distance is the problem. Maybe one of the old post cards or something. I would love to have my Avalanche tour poster signed (my absolute favourite MG thing I own) but it would likely disintergrate if I attempted to take it. Love Alert Status Red so I hope he has time to include that in Campbell River. I have got zero idea what everyone is speculating so I will head on over to Reddit to check it out. There are sound curfews here in Australia that have cut short concerts before, it sucks. Disappointing you've had to make a video private. I have experienced his concerts only secondhand from fan footage for so many years, and have appreciated each and every one of them. I've never done VIP with an artist before and have little idea what to expect, so your post has helped a lot, thank you. My hope is to be able to thank him and get something signed, without my nerves turning me into a blathering idiot unable to articulate a simple sentence.

Can I ask if you ended up with a group photo or an individual one? It definitely was worded to sound like an individual one. Also did you have a chance to get something signed? Other than the signed poster that comes with the package of course. I guess in the end it isn't that important to me, as this is my first, and likely only time, to see Matt live (I live on the other side of the world and have family commitments and all that). I've been waiting something like 25 years for this opportunity, so a group photo will be just fine as opposed to no photo, but it does seem like they've changed it from what was first stated. Also thanks enormously for the set list and footage, it's a glimpse of what I'll experience in Campbell River.

The post about it on Matt's site, part of which EvanofEdmonton has pasted here, is mine. I emailed Matt because I could no longer access his website. And sorry to say Jeeves1010, but the situation hasn't changed. Most Aussie's can't access, a few here and there can. It doesn't even matter which isp you are with, as some people on the same isp can access and some can't. It's all due to Level 3 refusing to redirect traffic for Cogent, and basically most Aussie's just can't access the blog at all anymore. I am thrilled to say that I found a backdoor way into Matt's blog, which allows me to read there. I am going nuts not being able to post though, because there are so many things I want to respond to. But I can't logg in to post. If you want to know my way to get in, just shoot me a pm here and I'll let you know.

Since when is 30-ish middle aged?? Ouch! And isn't Matt himself like 34 or something? Middle aged is when you hit your 50's or later. Sincerely, Miss 32 going on 33 =)
