And now...The end is near!!!

So here i am in Perth getting ready for the final show of Big Day Out! After our couple days in Adelaide (Yes that is Adelaide city centre, why i took the photo though a vase i dont know...but i did!!). We did a BDO show last night in Adelaide Showgrounds and watched a couple more bands such as

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE


JOHN BUTLER TRIO


JET


THE STREETS


VIOLENT FEMMES


TRIVIUM


TOOL


And of course the always fantastic MUSE


As well being a hot ticket it was also a really hot day with Temperatues pushing 38* C (103* F). After a couple of drinks at the now customary free bar i decided that our drum tech Rob would look better if he was wearing the inflatable basketball set up that was in the backstage area.

He wasnt convinced!!

After a morning walking around Adelaide and taking photos of my reflection in a giant set of balls (Thats me in the blue)

It was time to head to the airport!!

Speaking of a giant load of balls, that exactly what i thought when just as the plane was pushing back from the gate, some ASSHOLE!!! a couple rows in front of me decided he wanted to get off the plane because he wasnt feeling too well.

So while this idiot got off it meant of course that they had to retrieve his baggage from the hold before we took off, so we got to sit on the runway for almost an hour while they emptied the plane of luggage and eventually found it. He better hope that no one from Muse, Jet, Tool, The Killers or The Streets see him at BDO tomorrow because that adds up tp a lot of pissed off people he left sittting on the plane.

When we eventually got to the hotel, i got my key and headed to my room. However when i got to my room i could hear a TV on and a Privacy sign on the door, turns out it was one of the guys from Violent Femmes. Eventually got another room and headed out to find that there is barely anything open at 9pm on Sat night. So, luckily the local FOX Sports network here is showing the Liverpool/Everton derby match Live on TV.

So last show down here tomorrow before jumping on a plane to head to London to start production rehearsals for our upcoming arena tour. So. ill prob talk to you after that gets underway on Feb 16th in Sheffield. Take it easy!!
