J-E-A-L-O-U-S ... and really really looking forward to all the
pix you OZ kids!
If they dont allow cameras in the venues then you have that much more
reason to post 'em here with pride. Rockabilly Ninjas rule!

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.

echidna, thanks for joining us here at the HDVDL! I'm so glad to hear we have someone who will be attending the first show of the tour! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT STARTS TOMORROW! WOOOO!

If you have a chance, we'd love to hear more about you, how long you've been a fan, and all that stuff!

And of course, some feedback about the first Australian Stray Cats gig in 18 years!!

I hope that all my aussi-friends will have a great night, and enjoy the best band in the world, and also I'm hoping for some col stories and pics from the shows.

Panic as in "nothing to wear" (like most ladies) or as in "oh my God Stray Cats are coming!!!"...?

Panic as in OH MY GOD STRAY CATS ARE COMING!!!!... I'm a bit slow with these things, takes a bit of time to sink in

I wonder if Brian and I will be catching the same plane from Sydney to Brisbane..

Jeez, that'll make for an interesting plane ride for Brian, Jim and Lee if that would be the case!! hahaha!!

EVERYONE attending any Stray Cats shows or going anywhere within the same vicinity as the Cats: please be certain that at all times you have with you some form of camera with plenty of memory and fresh batteries!!

Kid, are you flying economy? I found this on Flickr: http://flickr.com/photos/willkenny/298182372/

buddy of mine was on a biz flight one day and Setzer happened to be sitting next to him. Took a moment for him to realize it was the Brian
since his hair was combed down and he was wearing a sweater and topsiders. 'said he was a real friendly dude.

Flying sucks. Flying as much as he does is probably the most soul-sucking thing anybody can do, the fact that he can do it and still be a nice guy is a testament to his personality. I don't blame him for dressing down, they're lucky I don't wear pajamas and slippers when I fly!! The flights to/from Australia to/from ANYWHERE are such a killer. It feels like you're in the air for a week.

Well it's only a 1 and a half hour flight from Sydney to Brisbane so yeah, economy all the way! Oh wait, I'm flying Virgin.. The Cats would probably fly Qantas or something.. DANGIT!

You're right, I apologize.

Still would have been great to catch up for a beer........

Kid and I will have a beer in your honour Pete when we meet up- don't worry, we'll send you pictures of your beer.

I'll do the same with Rene....poor guy has no idea what I really get up to!! My wife has given him an indication, but the ROCK BEAST will be out on Tues!!

Well I don't drink beer, but could you bring me down some bundy ginger beer Andi?

You can buy Stones Green Ginger Beer now.. AWESOME!! Alcoholic ginger beer and cider are totally making a come back.. represent!

To be honest I'm not much of a beer drinker either- glass o' wine maybe? Dean will have to drink all our beer for us!

Sure, I can bring you some Bundy Ginger Beer - I'll stop at the Barrel and pick some up:

Dean said his mum used to give him Stones Green Ginger Wine when he was sick. Bleh, gross.

I thought I was the only one! You are not kidding. I've been flying back and forth over the last yr just to Nashville and want to kill myself after the 3rd hr in coach. At least Setzer is flying business class from what I see in that picture..but youre right, flying is hideous...but so is Amtrack.
You ever spent time on the rails here? Its no better than sliding naked down a bannister of razor blades into a vat of alcohol.

On a topic more related to the subject line but not the direction of this thread:

I really hope the Cats are going to be doing some press while they're here- radio shows, TV, etc. Wouldn't it be awesome to see Stray Cats on Rove Live! Then there's always RockWiz and Spicks and Specks- it'd be funny to see one of the Cats on a music game show. Preferably RockWiz since they have live performances too!
