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!!

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!!

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. Smile

'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!

To be honest I'm not much of a beer drinker either- glass o' wine maybe? Very Happy

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:

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!
