I did queue for Brum NIA '07 and that was quite enough for me thanks! (Who was the nice girl with her hair in bunches that was directing everyone? Always wondered if she posted on here!) It was absolutely freezing but I got chatting to a wee Scottish girl and her boyfriend so that made the time pass a bit. I arrived an hour early but after getting into Wolves Civic this year exactly on time and still getting secong row I wouldn't bother queuing again unless I was with someone or meeting up with someone.

I'm tiny (five foot without heels on) and asthmatic, so being 2nd or 3rd row is pretty atrocious for me. I can't see and the inevitably taller people in front of me block my air and lead to me getting breathless and panicky. For those reasons, I prefer to queue to ensure that I get to the barrier, where I'll be able to see and where I'll have fresh air (sort of) in front of me, to help me breathe easier. If I don't think I'll get onto the barrier (i.e. if I can't queue at all for some reason, or if it's a massive venue and I'm really far back in the queue), I'll head further back, because there's usually a bit more space and it means that your view isn't so impeded by someone jumping around directly in front of you and there's a bit more space to breathe.

Another tour must.
Some guy near the front to shout while everyone is silent, James is changing guitar etc... SLEEPFLOWER Then crowd will go silent and think, umm yeah ok why not, James however will be alarmed, as he kidnapped the bloke who kept saying it during his solo tour in 2006, he is now working in a flower shop, during which most of the time, he sleeps.. |

I've been working full-time when there's been a tour and it's just as easy to deal with. For example, the PPF tour was only two weeks long. It's simple enough to just put in two weeks leave like you would for a normal holiday. Quote:
I don't tend to eat out either. I live (rather conveniently for tours) just off of a major road in the middle of the country, makes it simple to nip home for a shower and fill up my cool box. (i.e. between Southampton and Derby / Leeds and London) Quote:

Can't remember much hassle. Think there was something to do with the doors opening or which doors would be opened. Have never been so glad to get inside in all my life! Only had a t-shirt and fleece on!
