P!NK in Perth!!!

I know several people told me so... but I was stubborn and wouldn't listen - what else is new??? Perth is just a tad, the tiniest bit, ever so slightly...BO-RINGGG. Blergh. :P

It's cute and quaint and I'm sure the average WA native would think it's a truly cosmopolitan haven... but after Melbourne I'm a spoiled brat when it comes to "happenin" cities!

Our hostel is nice enough and in the center of Perth - so its a great location to explore from, shop from, and generally bide our time until the roadtrips begin! Luckily we don't need sights, casinos, cinemas with recent releases, or even good weather in order to really enjoy ourselves... because I GOT TICKETS TO SEE P!NK IN CONCERT! Yeaaaaaaahhhhhh!

It was awesome. Absolutely splendiferous - and not just because we were bored. :) P!NK is one of the few artists who sounds EXACTLY the same live as on her album. I knew a lot of the lyrics, so I was able to sing (ahem, scream...) myself hoarse over the course of the night.

The show was in a small arena, so we were sitting only 10-15 metres away from where she was singing on the stage - none of that Robbie Williams was only 1cm tall stuff!!! AND she did acrobatics... seriously... I swear she trained with Cirque de Soleil - because she climbed ribbons that had been suspended from the ceiling and proceeded to swing and drop and twist like the best of them without a harness. Unfortunately no pictures... and when I thought of breaking the law just this once, we saw those people sneaking pictures being caught and escorted out. The picture right was taken on the bus with the other screaming fans after the show.

I bought an official tour t-shirt (which is already ripping after 1 wash, quality merchandise it is not) and the tour program as memories. Because I'm Worth It! ... and tomorrow I will undoubtedly get a nice fat post office bill for shipping my memories home!
