MELBOURNE DAY 4

Tue Mar 14, 2006 2:02 pm

Melbourne was AmaZing

The second show was freakishly wondrous. I think everyone on our little team is stumped. The response was double or triple on the second afternoon show. I don't have time to journal it proplerly right now; we have to catch a plane to Sydney... lobby call is in 1 hr!

Anyway, the short brief is - there was a cresendo of acceptance that built in a way that we're not used to. It felt like an Eisely headlining show in Dallas by the end.. "ONE MORE SONG!!", and clapter and merriment on the highest order. Thank you Melbourne.

Weston is still trying to figure out the shout out's and chanting of his name. He doesn't get how any of you even know his name. He figured you might have thought the band name was Weston or something.

TAKING BACK SUNDAY is also amazing. You know - we always talk about vibe... and how the dynamic of a tour is determined by how much the band's 'gel' or whatever... To give you an idea of how this is going, 3 of them came to Eisely's headlining set at a little club last night. I can tell you... that's not very typical. That's over the top.

We haven't spend that much time with them yet because of the schedule, but so far, it's been great. They're super nice guys; funny, personable... no ego.

Today, we're all flying together... bands/crew... a massive human air and gear cargo. I jokingly termed it: "The Taking Back/Eisley down under" tour. Bassist - Fred really liked the notion.

I WILL deliver way, way more pics... and as soon as we can slow down long enough, some clips! For now... I just have to say that Melbourne people are cool...fashionable, the city is beautiful, the food is verociously tastey and the coffee is the best we've had.

Cheers.

I'm really diggin' this whole time-change thing. It seems like everytime I get the internet, there is a new entry from you. Either you are working double-time or you found a hole in the time-space continuim. Either way, we all appreciate it. Have fun over there. Down there. Wherever. Australia.

Thanks for keepin' us updated. Cool pictures.
