Tasmania is about 2 hours flight I think - it's below Victoria - so it'll be about twice as long as the flight to Melbourne we went on in September I think. I've looked around at airfares and it'll be between $150-$200 each way. If we can stay at my friends house over night we won't have any accommodation costs though so it shouldn't cost us more than $600 each for the whole trip including tickets.... confused0006.gif . Very tempting wink.gif . I think you need to come Maddie - you didn't work at Bon Tons all your holidays to spend that money on sensible things! tongue.gif
marilyn_monroe
wow, that's actually more than I thought...it being that much each way? blink.gif ...and that ticket is pretty expensive!!! ohmy.gif

Ohhh and with the job...they stopped giving me hours after early January sad.gif and the money is pretty much gone cause I got that guitar among other things when I thought I would have more hours! The guitar wasn't really that expensive, but it wasn't one of those junky guitars that lots of people get to start. I'm not one of those people who would just quit. Yeah, all that to say that I have no money. Again sad.gif ...and my dad is being so jerky about money lately...so i don't think I can make it sad.gif
allie9609
Well you should see Australia while you're here, so maybe pitch it to your dad on that angle? Although there's not much to see in Tassie unless you drive to Cradle Mountain or their costal areas like The Hazzards. Very pretty. I dunno if I'd have the cash to go for more than a day or two though. Oh well, your dad doesn't need to know that wink.gif . I'm such a bad influence on you laugh.gif tongue.gif .
marilyn_monroe
You ARE a bad influence laugh.gif tongue.gif

Oh man, The Pixies AND The Vines? Tas is getting it good, though it's fair seeing as they did miss out on BDO. I would go to the V festival if The Vines went to that, but there would be no chance of this happening right..? I decided to give it a miss since the Pixies are really the only good thing about the line-up.

I know! sad.gif I'm so sending a globe to Craig for his next birthday, with Europe marked on it with a nice little red flag! excl.gif Haha, I'd like to see his highschool Geography marks. tongue.gif They manage to avoid continental Europe every time. I suggest we start a bonfire to get their attention. tongue.gif

aahhh yet another show i will miss out on.... sad.gif wish i had $600 to pull out of my ass.... any idea whether they will do just a regular gig in Sydney or Brisbane any time soon (or better still, Port Macquarie biggrin.gif)
clever_napkins
I really want to go to this. But, I'm not sure I can afford it since I'm starting uni this month and I'll be doubling my petrol bill, plus having to cut down hours at work... unsure.gif Maybe if I sleep in the airport, that'll cut the cost down some. laugh.gif I'm looking for some super cheap flights right now, but it's not looking so good.

Likewise, I definately do not have an extra $600 laying around...if that's how much it would set me back, there's no way I am going sad.gif sad.gif ...especially hard if you've got friends going sad.gif

yeah that would be amazing if they would do a regular gig in one of those areas soon, all we can do is hope!!!
is she weird

Yeah I already I'm going to be set back about$600 on just my TGE weekend with Bridgie, so pulling an additional $600 out of my arse would be quite a feat :S You can always come play with me and Bridgie we are getting a hotel and are planning shopping, boozing, photoshooting and hopefully some local gigs*squee*
I wish I got to see the vines AND the pixies sad.gif Kim Deal is my idol wub.gif
Ava Adore
