Bam death toll - 41,000 and rising

Wheels · 01-16-2004, 08:50 AM

Guys the death toll in Bam now stands at 41,000... and is expected to rise to 45,000... this is up from the 30-35,000 originally estimated.

Fair play to Tomo for doing something to help by organising the benefit concert. Get yerselves tickets, you never know who might show up... [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img] *cough*damien*cough*

And if ye can't make it along on the night you can make a donation:

24 hr. credit/debit donations:
048 9062 6200

Postal donations:
Save the Children
Children of Bam Appeal

All details in the 'Children of Bam' threads, there's one in every section of the forum (good man Emmett), so no excuses.

I don't feel guilty, I bought my ticket on tuesday afternoon. Upstairs unfortunately.

Wheels · 01-16-2004, 01:06 PM

Good man #Ian#

#Ian# · 01-16-2004, 01:27 PM

Yeah, I came to the same conclusion as you did about special guests.

Lisa doing a solo set and Paul on his own is also cool. I wonder if Vyvianne (sp?) will be doing classical stuff or things along the lines of 7 nation army/purple haze

daol20 · 01-16-2004, 03:29 PM

Whats the situation on tickets?? IS there many left?</font>

Wheels · 01-17-2004, 12:27 PM

Hopefully not... if there are I'll start emailing everyone I know in or near Dublin...

Patricia · 01-17-2004, 12:41 PM

I'm afraid I can't make it to the concert... [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

But I shouldn'tfeel too guilty: I've already sent a check to the Unicef before New Year's Eve... Have also convinced my mum + granny to do the same, so we sent about 100€. Not much, but "every little helps", doesn't it?

daol20 · 01-17-2004, 03:40 PM

Just ordered two tickets.

"Seating Information : Unreserved Seating Admission" so where does that put me? Would it tell me im upstairs on the tickets master website, or do i have to wait till i get the tickets in the post?

Never been upstairs. Whats it like?

Sniffer · 01-18-2004, 04:47 AM

Vicar Street said the tickets are all general admission and there are plenty left. I don't think many people know about this gig,yet. Hey Wheels (and everybody else), start emailing everyone you know![img]smileys/smiley10.gif[/img]

Wheels · 01-18-2004, 07:48 AM

I'm on it Sniffer... and well done Patricia.

Sorry Daol, never been upstairs...

october · 01-18-2004, 08:59 AM

i want to go to this concert, are there still tickets avilible

julia · 01-18-2004, 09:12 AM

I wish I could go, us Americans we miss out on everything. But yesterday I sent in a donation[img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]

administrator · 01-18-2004, 09:21 AM

Fair play

julia · 01-18-2004, 01:18 PM

Hmm, I just meant cool festivals like for instance Witnness and this show that sounds very entertaining[img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]
I feel part of it by donating though.I realize we are very lucky to have Damien touring so much here [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img] Is that what you meant by fair play?[img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img] Edited by: jbalogh

Wheels · 01-18-2004, 03:57 PM

'Fair play' is Irish slang for 'well done' [img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]

julia · 01-18-2004, 03:59 PM

AHHH got it, I feel much better now[img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]

gally45 · 01-18-2004, 05:48 PM

I got tickets only upstairs ones left but still! fairly devastated about missing out on damien tickets but it should help to ease the blow and its for a good cause. It will be interesting to see what lisa will play solo, i think seven nation army is definately going to be played by vyvienne and tomo and its worth going to see just that alone plus could we see paul and damien back on stage together?, now that would be deadly!

Sniffer · 01-19-2004, 04:49 AM

Road Records, City Disks, Claddagh and Sound Cellar still have downstairs tickets. Get 'em quick!

Wheels · 01-19-2004, 04:35 PM

Jeweller... did you get your tickets???

daol20 · 01-20-2004, 10:35 AM

Go my tickets in the post today!

It says "level 2" so i guess im stuck upstairs!

Cant wait for the gig. And i hear Mr. Rice has been added...now there's a surprise. [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

Wheels · 01-20-2004, 11:36 AM

I certainly didn't see THAT coming...

DaveG · 01-20-2004, 11:48 AM

yeah.....i wonder why nobody thought that would happen [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

Angela · 01-20-2004, 03:42 PM

What a shocker, indeed [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

Langball · 01-20-2004, 04:27 PM

Took your advice last week wheels....got two tickets for the gig and looking forward to it.Cheers for the heads up on the gig [img]smileys/smiley10.gif[/img]

Wheels · 01-20-2004, 05:40 PM

See... now just think what utopia there would be if everyone in the world would do as I say...

Although I was really just picking up on Emmetts clues... He's the one who's been pushing the gig, just cos its for a good cause.

Well done Emmett [img]smileys/smiley32.gif[/img] Edited by: Wheels

Sniffer · 01-20-2004, 05:50 PM

Indeed, well done Emmett. I do wonder how he gets his info. Does he have a mole on the inside? Damo's website hasn't confirmed that he's playing the gig yet.

Patricia · 01-21-2004, 02:50 AM

Well personally I'd say that Emmett advertised it only for the good cause, and THEN knew Damien might come. That sounds more like him...[img]smileys/smiley10.gif[/img]

Erhm... isn't that what I said? [img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]

Patricia · 01-21-2004, 04:43 AM

Oops, sorry. [img]smileys/smiley9.gif[/img]

I was confused by what Sniffer said, and trying to underline the goodness of Emmett's heartat the same time...[img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]
