[Roxy]

and hopefully you get your shirt intime too tina! you'll stand out then ;D

Oh sorry - I just realised - this thread has the 14th as the date - but the Telethon is on the Saturday the 13th? I will just change that in the calendar so that it's not confusing if Damien isn't doing appearances there on the Sunday.

Thanks Shims & Roxy. I think initially the date was for the event on Sunday, so you will need to change it, thanks! I will change this thread.

Do the shirts glow in the dark, Roxy, I think that will be my only hope unless I can get some red carpet action!!

They stand out Tina. If Damien looks in your direction at all, make sure you jump up and he will see it, even if he doesn't see who is wearing it. A lot will depend also on what lighting there is and if it is shining in his eyes.
Good luck. Go for it.

This was an alert I just recieved. Don't know if it has already been posted.

The Telethon show kicks off at 8pm with members of the public urged to purchase their opening show tickets and then get a prime possie to view the stars as they arrive.

Then settle in for 25 hours of Telethon fun where viewers can win one of seven LCD TV screens from the Sunday Times phone-room thanks to Samsung and Harvey Norman.

Somebody in Perth will win a brand new Brian Gardner Suzuki SX4 Hatch in Andrew O’Keefe’s Wheels or No Wheels.

Weekend Sunrise will also broadcast nationally from The Perth Convention Exhibition Centre in Perth on Sunday from 6am to 8am – the general public are encouraged to get along and support the show.

OMGOSH DAMIEN LEITH AND CHRIS VANCE??!!!!!

EDIT: Hang on ... so Tina are you going to this thing? Are you taking a camera?

Can you take some photos of Damien and Chris please?! ;D

[thebraff (Braffy)]

Agro's going to be there? ? I thought he would be rehearsing for the show on Sunday night. He needs all the help he can get. Maybe that is why he is in Perth. He wants to speak to the Master. Sorry Marty, you and Damien are nowhere near being in the same class.

[shimmery]

I saw an ad for Sunrise and they said "what will Kochie get up to at this year's telethon in Perth" and they are going to show "behind the scenes action" from it - I wasn't sure if it was an ad for the Weekend version tomorrow or the Monday one (I think the Monday one). Anyway looks like they'll be covering it fairly well on the show.

Thanks for the post of the details Shims. I'm planning to get there at 5pm with my daughter, and pick up my tix and see how I go. It's pretty warm here in Perth today (about 30 degrees), so don't know how we will go standing out in the sun for ages. I'm not sure if Perth has had a proper red carpet event before, so not sure how many people will be there!

Unfortunately my t-shirt did not arrive, so will just have to rely on Damien's good memory to see if he can spot me in the crowd!!!

I'll take the camera and try to catch some photos of him (and Chris Vance for Spud!), then get on here later tonight and let you know how I go!

I may not meet Damien again tonight, but at least I'll be there to hear him sing live!!! A good taster for the 24/11!!

[shimmery]

Take care in the sun, Tina and have a GREAT time today! Looking forward to hearing all about it later!

[Roxy]

Hope you are having fun Tina, looking forward to the details later ;D

oooh how rude of me not to ask for the same!!

Kiss and squeeze from me too please!

[12ktina]

I'll do what I can ladies!!! Just can't decide what to wear!!!

[12ktina]

Well, we're at the Perth convention centre, the red carpet is still being set up! So we have ordered some dinner, and the restaurant kindly has free internet!! Once we've eaten, we'll go and find a spot! Luckily I have a good book to read..... and might even get it signed if I see the author anywhere!!

Keeping my eyes peeled just in case I see a familiar face wandering around looking for a cup of coffee!!
