So, unless I’m in a confusingly similar parallel universe, or got the date wrong (despite media saturation) it looks like the world didn’t end with either a bang or a whimper.

Hi all – just a quick word on the Cell Block 69 show: Despite the confusing message on the Ticketek site saying “no longer on sale”, there will still be tickets available at the door.
Justa quick note- ticketek has closed for xmas. Tix for Cell Block 69are still available at the door tomorrow night !
This RiotACT section seems a bit more useful than the recently (today!) launched app “The Canberra Guide” (http://www.thecanberraguide.com.au/) which implies nothing much is going on in or around Canberra on the weekend (or otherwise).
