Cant wait for tomorrow, saw some great music today at the Jazz Fest and really looking forward to seeing what the set will be tomorrow. Just thought I'd share a bit of our Journey to see tomorrows big event and say if anyone's there and wants to say hi, it would be great to meet some US fans.

Me and my son left Perth Australia last Thursday and flew to Brisbane (5hrs) then we flew Brisbane to Los Angeles (13hrs). We stayed 2 nights in LA then picked up our hire car, a nice new Camaro, on Sunday and drove to New Orleans via Phoenix, Las Cruces, Roswell and Dallas, arrived Thursday and went to the Jazz fest today :)

After the Jazz fest we're heading to New York for MSG1.

    Its good to see some Aussies making the journey.
    After getting married one week ago, my wife and i (also a massive fan) flew from Adelaide to LA. We have made our way to San Francisco and soon head across to Columbus for the show. This band means so much to us and i'm sure this gig will be something we will never forget!
    BRING IT ON!!!!!

    Instead of asking to bring stuff for me here, can you just take me back with you? :)

    Awesome set list for Jazz Fest, we had a ball! Was good to see the band back at a festival, not much chance of that happening in Aus eh. Well worth the journey so far, now we have a few weeks in Orlando and on route to New York to unwind. Also Galactic were so damn good before PJ came on!!

    Met some great people at the show, it's pretty cool to go to a festival so laid back, free from drunken fools and people constanly trying to push in. NO sure puts on one of the best festivals ive ever been to!

    Anyways, safe trip Paul, Hope you have a great wedding day.

    We're all out of Tim tams, sorry :(

    Lamingtons? Thanks for making me homesick... I still have 13 months to go before I get to see New Zealand again, and now I'm craving some coconut-coated spongey goodness... and a good mince pie. Holy crap what I wouldn't give for a mince pie right now.
    And I listen for the voice inside my head... nothing. I'll do this one myself.
