The Get John Mayer to Perth Campaign

John Mayer Rocks!

Do you believe in the power of blogs? I wasn’t sure I did until I finished watching Julie & Julia about 5 minutes ago. Even though I’m a little more convinced now, the scientist in me is itching to test the theory. So I’m gonna. And with it comes my first RANT!

Like many a Perthian John Mayer fan, I was sadly disappointed to learn that Perth would NOT be a stop on his Battle Studies “Australian” tour. The second blow came when I learned that the extremely talented and gorgeously kick-ass Orianthi was to be his support act! Correct me if my maths is out but that’s not one but TWO great acts Perth is going to miss out on. And I just can’t stand for it ANY LONGER!

I’m not sure why Perth always misses out on the big-name acts. Though Pink certainly hasn’t forgotten us (GO PINK!!). I refuse to believe the whole: “its too hard to transport sets and equipment to Western Australia’s isolated city” – as far as I’m concerned if Pink can do it with her elaborate set up then so can every single other big-name act!! I’m talking to you John Mayer and I’m not giving up without a huge online protest (I hope).

So. This is my online campaign to get John Mayer to stop over at Perth on his Battle Studies tour.

What have I done so far?
I’ve emailed Sunrise’s ROS wall to ask WHY Perth always misses out on great shows and then conveniently added the example of John Mayer NOT coming to Perth. (Subtle, I know.)

And I went to this website: http://www.chuggentertainment.com/contact and asked Chugg Entertainment very politely (its always important to be polite!) to please consider adding Perth to the list of cities on the Battle Studies Australian tour.

What’s next?
I’m going to do what any self-respecting Perthian would do – I’m going to Twitter like crazy and hope I attract the attention of enough people to get this thing going. If you’re from Perth (or not) and are just as outraged as I am in missing out yet again on another John Mayer tour, please join my online campaign. Let’s do this thing respectfully.

It was just a couple of days ago that a fan on Twitter said that 20,000 people fell in love with John Mayer at the Garden. Don’t the people of Perth deserve the chance to fall in love with John Mayer too?!?!

I sincerely hope so.

Ranter out.
