hey, guys!! i've missed youses but am truly having the time of my life here in oz doing vinesapalooza with als, mads, and joey! we're like the four vineskateers - the vines crew and even the annandale staff knows us well now.

so far, it's been the concert experience of a lifetime - words can't even express how amazing it's been except to say they're such an amazing band and group of guys, what else would you expect? *sigh*
as others have mentioned, the boys have been the BEST to us and all their fans at the shows. we've been lucky enough to speak with them (well, mostly craig and brad) before and after their shows and every time they act as interested in us - asking us personal questions - as we are them! how many bands can you say that about? we've had some truly lovely chats. okay, and you know i'm nosy so i've been digging for info for you guys, and lots of good things are brewing with the band. i'm not sure what's already been said since i haven't been online to really read what als, mads, and joey have dished but i'm writing it all down and will pass it all along to you guys when i'm back home.
anyway, here's my picture with brad, ryan and hamish from the first afternoon when we met them and gave craig his birthday wishes. he was so very grateful to those of you who contributed, so know that you made his day.


oh, and forgot to mention - i video-recorded a bunch of the songs and will upload those too when i get back to the US of A. wait until you see craig's ghetto fabulous hand moves during 'ms. jackson.'!!
