How do I get the most of my first-ever LC concert?

Post by horo1984 »

Friends,

As some may recall, I'm the nutty guy who'll be flying 4,000 miles alone to Sydney, Australia, to catch LC in concert: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=22359 :D

Advice needed: How do I maximise the LC concert experience?

I have a couple of days in Sydney city before the concert - any suggestions on what to see or do to 'prepare' for my personal LC live premier? I would be most grateful if you could share one or two things that worked for you.

Thanks (for the trouble you took from her eyes) in advance :)

P.S. Does anyone know of shops with LC memorabilia in Sydney city? Apart from the concert merchandise, I am looking for a nice LC poster. Thanks!

Socialise. Arrange to meet up with other forum members before and after the concert.

Switch off your mobile, keep your camera in your bag, and focus totally on the live musical experience!

Just enjoy every minute because the 3 hours plus will go so fast, you will think you have only been there an hour!

My belated thanks to the three of you...

Been swamped with work in preparation for my trip - but I know the Sydney concert will more than make up for it!

To John and lightasabreeze: I guess it's really about living in the moment, isn't it? But I daresay my camera will make an appearance for just one song - I MUST have a personal memento of sorts. It'll come in the form of a poor-quality video :lol:

To hydriot: Thanks for the tip. I'll act on it:

To everyone else out there: Do PM me if you would like to meet up :) And do keep the pointers coming, I'm sure there's more to share!

Thanks in advance.
