Into the Arms of America
Current mood: ready for a break
Category: ready for a break Music

So much has happened since I last blogged.
Mostly I collapsed with exhaustion from the tour - well I didn't
really have time to collapse as I had a few things to do like present an award at the Arias in Australia and spoil my nephew rotten by hiring out a whole cinema so he and his friends could watch 'Transformers' as a birthday gift.

Where to begin?
Melbourne was ROCKIN'.
BEFORE THAT - we had a day of Sydney amazingness out on a boat as a thankyou to the band and crew. Me - slathered in sunscreen and a hat and not talking (resting my voice again agh!) and the band and crew all gettin' down to the sounds of P Funk and Prince whilst enjoy the Sydney Harbor View and gorgeous food and drink.

Sydney show - amazing.
Melbourne, I've touched on - even more electricity than last time at Manchester Lane.
Brisbane amazing in the end but so much drama getting there with storms, set and equipment delays and poor 'She Said Yes' missing out on their set due to the time restraints.

I forgot about the cameras rolling and had a blast.
Afterwards caught up with the now infamous Troy Clifford - childhood friend I'd not seen since 1995. That was sheer joy and I was so glad I found him again.
Stayed up WAY late (10 am!) and ended up doing a chin up competition with the crew and Steve at Claire (choregrapher and DJ for the night)'s wonderful Valley pad.

For the record I won.
Steve came second.

Next day was WAY hung over.
Caught a movie and went into a friend's comic store and got WAY homesick for Brsibane. Did work on the DVD and made it to bed at a decent hour.

Arias were a blur but Ben Lee was adorable and I thought The Song About Ping Pong was cool.

Tomorrow I"m in Sydney for a day with a tiny event to attend and then I'm off to the states.

I am really ready for a break.
But I don't have time for one.
Xmas is looking goooood!

Right now we are still desperate to sort out a New Years Eve Gig in London and promise you news asap.
I got an email from Willie Williams about our idea for the intimate club shows in 08 and the set list!!! V cool. Basically all of the stuff we didn't do on the Time Machine Tour.
Wooot!

Sleep calls.
So does Amercia.
Love ya!
