International tour for me

[Aussie Mark]

Well, sort of.  Rolling Stoned have been booked for an 8 night stint at an Irish pub in Singapore in December.  They're looking after us pretty well - airfares, hotel accommodation, hired backline, 2 meals per day, plus $150 each per night.

Should be a blast!

Mark, that sounds like a blast! I don't know how it works for you there but will you have to use holiday time off work? If you don't take Elaine and the kids you'd best load up on the prezzies!

[Hornisse]

Sounds great Mark!

[TBird1958]

How fun!

Have a great time Mark!

I think The Nasty Habits need to go to Singapore

The pub we're playing at is across the road from Four Floors of Whores.  Even though you and the guys in your band scrub up quite well in skirts, the ladyboys at Four Floors would be tough competition for you.

I'll take the time off my day job as vacation leave (we get 4 weeks paid vacation leave per year in Australia), so not a problem at all.  Because everything except for drinks and spending money is paid for, the money I pocket for the gigs will end up paying for Elaine to take a 3 or 4 night package trip to Singapore to hang with me for part of the stint, so it ends up being a free holiday for the two of us.  My mum has said she will babysit :-)

Congrats - sounds like a fun vacation err I mean job, and remember... pics or it didn't happen!

No doubt you're right, can't say it wouldn't be fun tho


Four floors of whores!

Four Floors of Whores

There's definitely a song in there somewhere...

You'll be drunk on the plane, caught importing drugs, spit on Singapore streets and cause general mayhem until the Aussie consulate bails you out from jail there!!!

Four floors of whores? What if one of them will be taking poor Bill upstairs for a ride? I'm worried.

[Freuds_Cat]

Sounds better than a week at Lasseters in Alice Springs to me! Have a great time. Next you will be trying to explain to your boss how you need 3 weeks off to gig every night on one of those Pacific cruise boats. I have a few mates who do them  and love it.

[exiledarchangel]

Don't forget your wigs mate!

Can't beat those kinds of gigs! I just did a one-off outside of Philly for P!nk. Plane tix, car, hotel all taken care of. Just showed up at O'Hare with a backpack, a gig bag, and my driver's license. 

Enjoy it!

I'm boasting about playing an Irish pub in a cover band, and you subbed in Pink's band?  I'm just going to shut up now and never talk about my band again ....
