My parents told me I was too young to go to Sydney without them and I couldn’t go, I was not missing out; so I bought my ticket anyway I saved and saved. Dad dropped me off at school and I immediately went to the city to catch the 3 hr bus up to the Horden Pavillion show. It was amazing AND we met the band the show was magical. Mum picked me up from school the next day after my “birthday sleepover” none the wiser; I had my friend come over a week later with all my tour merch saying “im sorry you couldn’t come we got you this”. No regrets- it was the first time I’d experienced that kind of positive power as 15 year old who didnt fit in.
