the Jack Johnson fiasco

After agreeing to a last minute ticket sale, I was going to jack johnson.

I always wanted to see what it was like to see him live, whether he had a stage presence, etc. I didn't really like the sidney myer music bowl as a music venue, but since I'm not that big a fan, I didn't really mind sitting on the lawn, far from the stage.

Our tickets came up as refunded and we found out that they were reissued earlier that day. After about an hour and a half of waiting and trying to figure it out, we found out that all the tickets in that batch were reissued by the person who bought it because someone lost their tickets, and in actual fact, ours were sitting in the box office this whole time under another name!

We finally got in, got lost, found seats (which were quite bad when we stood up because a tent was in our way) and enjoyed the music. The gig itself wasn't too bad. He interacted with the audience, waved to mel (apparently) when she was on chris' shoulders, made a few jokes and played a new song.

Hungry Jacks after, before the tram ride home, was quite enjoyable. A whopper jr was a bit too much though.
