Stray Cats: Australia 2009

Holy crap the tour starts in like 3 days!!! PANIC!!!

So I've been spending alot of time interstate lately so maybe I've missed something, but there are still no supports announced right?

What am I going to wear?!!! ARRRRRGH!!

Yep, I got no idea of supports for Adelaide either!!

Please, for the love of God, wear some clothes!!

Hey Pete never you mind about whether or not I wear clothes.. how about you just work on getting water back into that river of yours - did you leave the gates open again?

I'm getting so excited about the Brisbane shows, the end of February can't get here quick enough! Just yesterday booked two nights in a hotel in Brissie that's about 8 minutes walk from the venue!

I wonder what Brian's been up to since the end of the Japan BSO tour? Think he went all the way home for a week just to come all the way back out, or do you s'pose he's been holidaying around Australasia? That'd be fun...

Kid, as for concert wear, I always go for comfort. Several hours in high heels is NOT my idea of a good time!

(I initially typed "high hells" which is probably more appropriate!!)

I have been thinking about you three all day at work-counting the days the tour starts, poor kid and andi, I bet you guys have butterflies in your stomach right about now!

have a great time though!

Forgot to mention, no, I haven't heard a peep about support bands either.

So who's going to which shows? I wish I could do more than just Brisbane, but hubby has put his foot down. He may have a point, given last year's antics.

Excited for you guys.

From what I have seen on video of the crowds down under, I bet the shows will be awesome.

Be sure to post pictures and video clips.

I'll be going to both Sydney shows and both Brisbane shows... yeah, I was initially going to get all dolled up with the hair the make up and the nice dress and the heels (X 4 shows) but then I realised STUFF THAT!! I want to go mental in the standing area (which may actually turn into a bit of a mosh with all the psychobillies and punks) so I don't want to be stuck in a mosh pit with heels and a dress on.. So I'm thinking I'll do 2 gigs all dressed up and whatnot - and just flutter around the outside away from all the crazy drunk people.. and the other 2 gigs I'll just wear jeans and a nice shirt or something.. that way I can jump around and act all fan girly

Yep!! Tuesday night's going to be huuuuuuuge!!! Adelaide is the only show I'm seeing, pity but it's better than not seeing them at all. I won't be frocking up for the night. Since the weather is warming up again, jeans and Stray Cats T shirt will do the job nicely. Besides, if I frock up I have to shave my legs. Bugger that!!! Pete doesn't appreciate it anyway

I thought you were catching up with Pete????

Oh that's right, Pete and the Pony get to see 'em before any of the rest of us! (We don't know anybody in Perth on the lounge, do we??)

Jeans, Cowboy shirt and Ripples.... THE best concert gear!!

I can't stand at the back of any concert, I gotta fight my way to the front of stage. My poor wife knows this and knows keep up or hang back!!

I'm seeing Adelaide and Melbourne Sat nite, really pissed off that I can't make the other shows because of work and funds, but I appreciate being able to see at least 2 shows. I'm unhappy about not being able to catch up with our interstate mates.

You're not coming to Brisbane Pete?!

Awww that sucks, I was actually looking forward to meeting you.. really!

NOOOOOOOOOO! No Pony AND no Pete! AWWWW!

Kid, I guess it'll just be us girls in Brisbane. And 8,997 other screaming fans. And Dean.

Oh man is he gonna just LOVE that.

Yeah, sure you were!!

Nah, we're looking at buying a new house, so sacrifices gotta be made. I really was looking forward to it as well, but if the lotto comes up this week, who knows!

Either way, everyone's gonna have a great time. Although Rene hasn't seen the real me at a concert! Maybe he should talk to my wife tonite when he comes in to eat at the cafe!

Pete, your lovely wife told me last week what you're like at a concert All in good fun It's going to be a blast. I too would have loved to see more shows and meet you girls up north, but it's not to be. Like Pete said, if the Lotto comes in this week, but it has to be waaaay more than the $29 buck I won on the weekend.

Hope you all have a brilliant time.

René

I want pictures, ASAP. Hope you all have a blast!

Blast Off-abilly

Just confirmed my hotel booking for Melbourne, 1 block down from Forum Theatre. Should be a good show!

Just wanted to say the same that my "big brother" Frenchy : enjoy your tour and give us some news & pics.

Hi all - I'm a new member located in Perth and I'm heading to see the Stray Cats on Sunday night. It's an outdoor gig, the forecast is a beautiful 33 degrees (celsius).The show will be on in the Fremantle Arts Centre, so near the ocean and a really nice venue. I think it'll be an awesome show.

I'll try and get some pics, probably won't get them up till Monday though.
