    Do you know it's so cool about this upcoming trip? I wanted to travel to Australia with PJ touring fans back in 2006.

    Better late than never!

    Man, my kid's having a rough time in school. Kids here are so mean. 30 of them just beat the s*** out of a 13 year old girl at the beach last weekend. Counting down the days, trust me.

    Couple questions: Is there an early entry for Golden Circle at either Melbourne shows? Is there any difference between Ten club Golden Circle and regular? Or was the only Ten Club perk a pre-sale?

    If I remember correctly, the Ten Club tickets Golden Circle/GA perk was early entry to the first Melb show.  I don't think there was Ten Club tickets to the 2nd show. But I can't find that email now.

    My child's foods teacher at school said my daughter should try some kangaroo while she's down under.

    Do you guys eat the kangaroos?

    We do, you have eat it rare as it can be tough if you over cook it. I wouldn’t say it’s in everyone’s fridge, but more likely in restaurants etc…

    1) I gave up all meat in 2016
    2) I follow a roo rescue in Alice Springs, couldn't do it
    3) My friends there think of them as large rats, but a national symbol. I wouldn't eat an eagle or a rat

    I’ve lived here all my life, 45 years, and I can honestly say that I’ve eaten Roo once. Most avg Australians never have. Some say it’s sacrilege, some would straight out refuse. To be fair it’s not a common practice but is more common than it was even 20years ago.

    I’ve lived in Australia for 18 years,  never tried or wanted to, but I’m a little “fussy” with what I eat.  I’ve only been offered kangaroo once and that was a jerky,  hard pass.

    I say yeah... nah.... to Roo.

    We’ve had a change of plans and my wife can’t make it to the first Sydney show, so I’m going to be taking our 10 year old to his first gig instead. We told him this morning and his jaw dropped. He loves PJ and it’s all he plays in the car so he can’t wait until November!

    Currently enjoying a lazy Saturday morning watching the PJ Special on Rage with him. Good times  =)

    I forgot about the Rage special. I’m sure I’ve seen it all before though 😉 Probably can stream it these days 🤷‍♂️

    Yeah there was nothing new. Mostly the videos for the singles, the MTV Awards Animal, a solo Gone, and some Avocado-era interviews. Still fun to see again though.

    Never tried it and never will.  Where I live in the country we have wild kangaroos around our house and I love it

    Roo is very nice when cooked properly.  Very rich.  Lean and high protein.  Over cook it though and it becomes very tough.

    Crocodile is like chewy chicken.

    I never had crocodile. - but I did try an alligator nugget at a Cajun restaurant once. It was also quite chewy. One taste was enough for me.

    I am enjoying learning about your country. I wonder how the colonization compares to other England's conquered countries? I did a masters degree and it had universities from around the globe so I got to know a South African lady. Sadly, none of the Australians joined in that cohort (they must all be in jail, hahaha). I got to say - the Europeans were smart as a whip!

     I will not share my findings with you here tho! Breath easy, head above the sand.
