Well Hello There...

Howdy, i know its been a while but there hasnt been all that much to talk about to be honest. The tour has been moving along well and we're into a decent rhythm now but as with everything it has its problems. After our little midwest run we started heading west towards the big LA show at the Staples Centre before heading back east with stops in Vegas (where i stopped off to see my former employees THE KILLERS to say hello and hear some new demos from the next album which looks likes it shaping up pretty well) and Texas and onwards to 3 days off in New Orleans where we went on a little boat ride to look at some crocodiles in the swamps and Bayou's.



After that we headed over to Florida for a couple of shows in Tampa and Miami before heading North into Atlanta where since we had a day off after the show and couldnt get into the hotel rooms early we stayed and had a carpark party and barbeque until 3 in the morning where i somehow managed to get elected Chef for the night
Oh well, i managed not to poison anyone so i guess a good night was had by all.

We continued heading north and had a quick stop off in New Jersey for a quick 20 min show as part of Summerjam at Giants Stadium


A day off in one of my favourite cities Montreal where i got to ride some pretty good rollercoasters at La Ronde before an evening of watching oddball theatre pieces at the Montreal Theatre Fringe Festival launch night. It was....intersting to say the least.

Next up were the 2 loudest audiences of the tour at Montreals Bell Centre and Torontos Air Canada centre, this is to be expected afterall the canadian audience is a lot more like a european one and are always very loud. After that we headed to the 2 worst union houses in Detroit and Chicago, they are always a challenge to deal with but this time around they werent as bad as they can be. I did spend all day in chicago dodging low flying aircraft as the venue was just over the fence from O'Hare Airport.


So now you find me in the middle of an 18 hour drive to Boston for 2 whole days off.
Other than i've been doing anything to keep sane by watching the latest season of House and going insane by watching the latest season of Lost. I swear everytime i watch i think "this is great but i have no idea what the f**k is going on"

Oh well, maybe there will be some sort of answers next year.....i doubt it!
