@Nath #WWE public appearance/publicity/pop-up merch stall etc

[-] Nath@aussie.zone 15 points 2 weeks ago

Oh wow! That's what this will be. I had no idea wrestling what this popular with people over 13.

@Nath i think a lot of people even turned up to watch the plane with them on board come into land yesterday.

An obvious mother joke here, and no one went for it.

[-] maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'm really tired. Please tell me.

[-] catalanmercenaries@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

what is the obvious joke?

They're lining up for a shag with your mum?

(Sorry)

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I was first in line. Can recommend.

Some kind of book launch/signing at the bookshop would be my guess.

I don't want to stereotype or anything, but the mood didn't quite match with my past experiences of people lining up for a book signing. Those people with luggage look like they've just landed, taken the train to Perth and immediately joined the line instead of going to their hotel. Besides, what bookshop? White Dwarf books is in the other direction.

Pigface Bookstore. Signage is visible in the photo, approximately where the line starts.

Huh. That's two things I've learned from this thread. In my defense, they've just opened/moved there. I'll have to go check them out.

WWE is in town all week, gonna be like that for a few days, I'll be one of those dudes in a couple of days.

Bek'lor's tour starts today, not sure which city. But if all the Games Workshop stores are empty then you've got your answer

[-] catalanmercenaries@aussie.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

queing in an absurdly long line for something is quite common in inner city cbds. always fun to see

In Melbourne it's usually a sneaker release of all things.
