After a break from touring, we’re back on road again. Woohoo
Out for 6 dates with Theory Of A Deadman and our old favourites The Crave (ssh we don’t tell the other bands)
After several false starts and several trips back into house for forgotten stuff, we were on our way. Boo/Bess with us again
Heading up A1 pretty uneventful, despite the occasional gust of wind….. until we came upon a Van facing wrong way in the fast lane 
Arrived at venue way too early, but needed to sort out both bands merch (we’re selling for TOAD and The Crave this tour)
Next to merch was a table loaded with sachets of Starbucks coffee and copius amounts of hot water 
Well it would have been rude not to have a cup …. or 2 wouldn’t it ? 
I’ve decided to not carry big camera in each night. Won’t have time or opportunity to use it. But all cool, MrRob will grab a few shots

Merch was crazy , kept us busy, which we love. MrRob milling about, doing various things and enjoying gig…. Sabra and myself serving everyone. We were like pigs in mud
We spent a while chatting with 3 guys, with one of them boasting of how he once opened a bottle of bud with his a**e crack LOL An amazing feat, but not something I’d like to try
A cracking first night. All three bands pleasing on the ears……and when openers My Lost Youth announced they had FREE cds, people rushed over to grab one. We’d given them all away within minutes
The Crave graced us with several new songs and ended with the crowd pleaser and favourite of many, Cooking In The Kitchen. Excellent response to them and great to see so many people coming over to chat, get things signed, have pic at end of night.
Really enjoyed TOAD’s set too. Loads of energy and love to banter with crowd, making sure there was loads of crowd participation. Love it
All in all a great night
Except when MrRob and I left our camera bags behind I’ve decide for rest of tour, my camera will not be coming, I am way too busy and having way too much fun on merch
Annadale Water service area was home for the night and after a busy night, we all slept like logs
