YAY to the now 71-year-old Lily Tomlin coming down under. I've just watched "Nine to Five" and she's amazing, amazing, amazing in it.

Not sure if I like Tim Cook's fashion or Steve Job's fashion more :(

I HATE that they surprise people with who's going to be at the event. That kind of marketing does not work and it irritates the hell out of me. I am not going to fork out loads of money to go to an event when I don't know who is playing, its just silly.

Tell us who is playing so we can know wether to go or not!!!!!!!

I thoroughly agree for such EXPENSIVE tickets. But they're not trying to irritate you; it's a matter of public safety~

Wow this actually looks like it is going to be a good year. The season line-up looks very promising. Some of the parties and events are really interesting and different - certainly something everyone has been asking for.

The party at the top of Sydney Tower sounds amazing. The beach party at the Bondi Swiss Grand is also a very nice idea. It is these sort of iconic summer Sydney events that will fit perfectly and no doubt attract more OS tourists. They are also having a harbour cruise and I note that Harbour Party is being teamed up with Daywash. This is another good move as everybody has been suggesting MG should collaborate with private promoters. It will give people buying tickets more certainty of higher production values and better organisation. Harbour Party last year did well but this should help make the numbers even bigger.

Also happy to see the return of Film Festival - one of my fave cultural parts of MG

Well Mama has her hotels booked, her flights booked. her Mardi Gras party tickets paid for - now all she needs to do is wait up and jump online for the BGF Glamomorama tickets to go on sale - and hopefully this time they wont have all been sold out pre public sale.

Thanks my love. Mama saw that but she thinks the tix are already available to BGF members and some other folks - so she'll just have to wait and see. If not she'll just plonking her fat ass down on a milk crate - again xxx

Got tickets for everything on sale so far except Harbour - I was really dissapointed this year, so still waiting to make up my mind and see what friends are doing.

Looking forward to the Party anyways - the performers are always just a bonus to a great night.

<3

The line up is awesome too - just waiting for Ticket sales for Toybox and the Homesexual after party - hoping they don't overlap...
