Being the country kid I am, I've only just thought about parking for [edit] tonight's Foo Fighters concert in Christchurch. Of course, nothing available at the venue itself now. Yeah, only myself to blame there...

So, next best option for parking? I assume the nearby Tower Junction shopping centre are wise to people parking there and police the crap out of it?

Help me People of Christchurch, you're my only hope!

Did you end up finding parking?

[–] Axisential 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Brother's partner dropped us in the general area and we walked - traffic was insane, so super glad we didn't go down the parking route!!

Oh good plan! I'm glad you made it! Now I can ask: how was the show?

[–] Axisential 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Absolutely brilliant. I'm only a casual fan really but DG is just an absolute legend on stage - giving 100%, 100% of the time. Totally engaged with the crowd and just generally having fun. Considering he's been doing this for almost 30 years, it's frankly astounding that he's not just going through the motions. A consummate professional and brilliant entertainer.

That's awesome to hear! I'm also only a casual fan but I'd love to see them. I know they are playing in Wellington this weekend but the timing doesn't quite work with us away on holiday only returning late on Saturday.

Superb. Top 3 for concerts I've been to - and I've been lucky enough to go to a LOT when I lived in Melbourne. Foos really are a class act when it comes to live shows.
