Vicky
What a great choice of venue!!!! The State Theatre is just beautiful. I still can’t believe Rob is actually coming. Oh yeah, that is definitely SQUEE worthy!!!!
Martha M
How exciting for all you girls. How can you remain composed??? Believe me I would have definitely been fired today if he was coming to California. They would have to call someone to put me on a straight jacket. But that would just get all the crazy out of my system. So I would be totally composed and mature when I would actully be there ha ha ha.
Maria
I know @Vicky. Sorry for silence everyone – there’s just loads happening at RPAU and work. Michelle’s on her way to celebrate with you all – I’m around but in and out.
Plus I have 43 emails notifying me of comments LOL!
Melissa
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
😀
Liz
HOLY EXPLETIVE BATMAN!
I’m getting too old to be this excited.
Would seriously consider coinciding a trip to Sydney with this premiere…
sigh…
ShazaM
THUD!!!!!!
Michelle
Seriously excited doesn’t come ANYWHERE near what I am feeling right now *cannot stop dancing* I was at work this morning when I received Maria’s text (thanks SO MUCH Maria) with those amazing words but had to keep my cool as I was working with another colleague. Haha OMG it was nearly impossible. I couldn’t squeeeeeeeee (I work with kids so it would have freaked them out lol) but couldn’t resist humming & clicking my fingers. LOL they were probably thinking – why is she so excited hehehe
“ROBERT PATTINSON IS COMING TO AUSTRALIA !!!” Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Vertigo
Beyond awesome just doesn’t cut it! How thrilling this beautiful movie is the vehicle to bring Rob to our shores.
*knee trembles*
Michelle
I agree 100% Vertigo. No words to describe this feeling, just none. LOVE that his first time to Oz is for WFE – just love it.
ephie
This is really really wonderful news! I hope the aussie fans traet him nicely and with respect…
It’s not something I would ever go to but I am really excited that he is coming to Oz.
Woot woot!!!
Sare
Yes Michelle, that his first time in oz is for WFE is so lovely. Hopefully he has a wonderful time and nothing but great memories of Australia
Cindy
“doeshappydancedownthepaddock” as murray the cow looks on like his owner is truly mental!!! LOL!! Seriously no one could upset me today!!
Sare
State Theatre…. We’re pulling out all the stops for him!
vertigo
I agree. It’s such a beautiful venue and Rob should be made to feel well at home.
lids
Oh what a day “SQUEEEEEEWITHYOUALL”
I nearly lost my life this morning when I hard the news, I was driving and checking tweets “shakeshead”
This is such awesome news, I don’t know what to say…I am trying to breathe, but having great difficulties
vertigo
Still can’t believe it.
It’s like someone else is typing this for me and I’m just watching in the sidelines.
Rob is coming to Oz!!! Now let the premonition be complete and make sure they take him out on a boat in the Sydney harbour! Remember the New Years post? lol
Maria
I know @Vertigo and that pic WAS a premonition.
See we said 2011 was going to be EPIC.
Just remember peeps lets not scare him away so he never comes back 😀
Michelle
LOVE your NY eve post Vertigo. LOL that pic was so a premonition. 2011 is EPIC that is for sure Maria. Keeps getting better & better 😀
Yes, please no scaring Rob. We want him to enjoy his time here, not wanting to never return.
Michelle
LOVE your NY eve post Vertigo. LOL that pic so a premonition. 2011 is EPIC that is for sure Maria. Keeps getting better & better 😀
Yes please no scaring Rob – we want him to enjoy his time here, not wanting to never return.
Teresa
Hi
How do we get hold of tickets for the Premiere?
Very keen to go.
Thanks
Teresa
cat
Hey, if any of you have to make a road trip and can’t afford accomodation, I can have two people stay with me.
@ephie
are you kidding? aussies are super relaxed. this is not america. i have yet to see impolite people trashing him or being disrespectful towards him, thank god.
no guarantee about the paps, though.
lise-lou
There are no words……this is just THE most amazing news anyone could ask to hear today. It’s a dream come true! Feeling so lucky and blessed and axcited and nervous and excited and absofreakinlutely beside myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maria
@Teresa – not sure if tickets will be available – premieres are usually by invitation.
However, we will find out and let people know – it’s still early days … I know that people will line Market Street though to catch a glimpse of Rob on the Red Carpet 🙂
Jerri-lee
Damn to living in West Aust and I’ll be 24 wks pregnat I hope for those who do see him cherish it….
ruth
Excited……….OMG
cat
hey, where did my comment go?
ephie
I just googled the State Theatre and it does look splendid. Just the right kind of venue for this movie, it has an old world feeling about it.
I do think a cruise on Sydney Harbour is a must for any visitor and I hope Rob gets to experience that.
Maria
@cat it was in spam – doesn’t like one of the words you used – i’ve left it in but let’s not bring them in to rain on our parade LOL. Nothing is as insane as the US, but time will tell.
cat
ok, then again:
@ephie
i have no doubt that he will be treated with respect. aussies are the most chilled, relaxed people on the planet, from a foreigners view.
i can’t believe this is happening. it is going to be superstrange to see him in person. it was weird enough to see the wiggles live.
Carmel
I’m wasn’t dreaming. Rob is coming!!
The State is a beautiful venue. That is very exciting. I’m also pleased to see Christoph Waltz will be here too.
I expect I’ll be one of those lining Market Street. Only winning tickets to the Premier would keep me away.
@Maria – I hope goes well for you during your busy time. Hugs. x
ephie
Hi @cat, I know what you are saying but Rob’s fans can get so carried away that we cannot be sure how they ‘ll behave.
So are you going to be there at the premiere?
lids
I am definitely working on traveling to Sydney, but also starting new job just 10 days before so I don’t know…
mema

girls i want something from u i want u to show the world how Rob so luck withe his fans and to leat him know us as a we r a nice lovely please in the web and the world
im so happy for u 6 of May its a good day have fan girls
Maria
Thanks @Carmel – let’s just say thankfully this confirmation wasn’t released next Tuesday when I might be posting/commenting on opiates – legally peeps – legally! You might not have all believed me 😀
Vicky
I’m with you Carmel, i’ll be lining Market St as well.
Yes Maria, we may have thought you were in some Morphine induced fantasy land LOL!!!
Maria
@ephie the State Theatre is so regal – I haven’t seen a movie there for awhile but I remember it had an organist who would rise out of the floor and do a musical introduction. It’s so classy how could they not hold it there. I used to work a block away from it and so I’ve seen many premieres happen there from a distance
ephie
That sounds really wonderful @maria. It should make a great first impression on all of them.
So are you hoping to get an invitation? I would be so thrilled for you girls are you work tirelessly here on this blog.
Martha M
Hey girls not all US girls are crazy. Well maybe just a bit (me included in those bits), but a few of us know how to control ourselves, and show respect.
Cindy
Just wanted to say good luck for next tuesday Maria hope all goes well and your up and about a.s.a.p. oxxo
ephie
Don’t worry Martha we know that you are not all crazy. Hey we are all a little crazy when it comes to Rob aren’t we? But the young teens who scream and scream when they see him…now they are the ones that ruin it for all of us IMO. Even when I was much younger I could never understand why people did that…watching old footage from Elvis’s concerts for example, I could never ever understand why girls acted that way and I still don’t.
Maria
@ephie I think it’s just how some people deal when they are overcome with emotion. Personally I think Rob’s the only person on earth that can and would just render me speechless.
Maria
Thanks @Cindy – i’m having surgery Monday – so peeps expect silence from me … you might as well enjoy it – it’s probably the only time it will happen LOL.
ephie
I guess it can be…I just don’t really understand it. And I would like to think that I would not be rendered speechless if I saw him. I would try to be polite and nice and wish him all the best for the future and his career.
I hope your surgery goes well and that it is nothing too serious and that you will be back to your talkative self very very soon. Will be thinking of you xx
sammie
i wanna go 🙁 its kool he’s coming to oz, but wish he was stopping at every city!!!
p.s good luck monday maria 🙂
Martha M
@Ephie thanks. I totally understand about those fans you’re talking about. I would maybe call out his name and cry, but never scream or throw myself at him. When I was younger I was the biggest Bee Gees fan (well I still am), my parents took me and some of my cousins go to see them, they performed at Dodgers stadium. When they came on stage. I was so excited I was crying like a baby, in my defense I was still a very yooung, but that’s when I understood about the way the Beatle fans and like you said Elvis fans react. It’s so exciting and emotional to see someone you really love and admire, that you can’t help buy to cry or at least I did (but then again I cry at everything. But I wasn’t screaming or trying to throw myself at them. I would never do that.
bronwen
seriouslly does anyone know how we get tickets!!!!!! this was the best news of the year in my eye its bigger than prince william getting married
Michelle
Work is over for the week so now I can fully appreciate the BRILLIANT news from today with no annoying distractions. Not that I could concentrate on ANYTHING else today mind you. Oh this feeling is so so good *floats on air* Rob is coming to Oz squeeeeeee – I still cannot believe it 😀
Bronwen – see Maria’s comment above re: tickets 🙂
lise-lou
Just checking it’s still true and I didn’t imagine it LOL. Amazing! *pinches self*
Carmel
@Martha M – My youngest daughter always wears labels like ‘crazy’ as a badge of honour. As she says ‘who would want to be normal?’ I think you are definitely a justifiably proud crazy. Not one of those crazy crazies that Ephie was referring to.
BTW: We have a fun musical quiz show here in OZ called Spicks and Specks. As you are an honorary Aussie, you need to know this stuff.
Antonietta
I was watching Sunrise this morn waiting for the Big news when my son comes and changed the station OMG *panic* i couldn’t believe what he did. I took the remote off him and told him i’m waiting for very important news about Robert Pattinson and my son just rolls his eyes.. he just doesn’t understand.. anyway i’m not working that day and only 30min drive to city. State Theatre is a beautiful venue very appropriate for the occasion. You guys are great.
