Hey cats,

Well l'm back in Melbourne, just got home from following Toto around Australia (but it's not over yet, a couple more shows to go).

First l wanna say a big THANK YOU to Colin, Colin and l where in Luke's hotel room interviewing Luke (well Colin was, and l was just sitting there in a daze), l got a couple of autographs, but it was great to finally catch up with Colin, and look forward to catching up again, and it was also great to have a chat with Rob (robelinda), don't forget to give me a call bro.

Anyway, we ended up on the same flight as John and Luke, and they came up and had a chat and laugh (Lucious, keep practising your aussie accent, it needs alot of work, hehe)

THE SHOWS

Awesome shows, Brisbane was great, but l think Sydney was just that much better, but l'll post more later, l'm tired and gonna go have a sleep.

Cheers,

Scott.

Scott this thread should be titled "Thanks Luke" he's the one that bought you a beer and took you back to his room. Thanks to Sterling for introducing me to Lucious last year, the circle is now complete as everyone has been on Australian radio...

SOMe of you may wonder where Colin has been...I think he wouldnt mind if I spilled the vegemite......

Secretly Colins wife got in touch with Beth who got in touch with Derek in Artist Relations who then talked to Luke and I secretly flew down to Australia and headed up a much needed life saving Humor Intervention. Call it an attempted humor transplant.

We had to tell him we loved him in spite of his constatnt repeating of others jokes. WE had to tell him that asking the lady at the movie theater to "pull his finger" was just getting old for some one at Col's age. The telling the guy at the gas station that his fly was down and asking the lady in the bank if he had a booger in his left nostril only to tell her she did. How many times can he order french toast and tell the waitress to just bring the toast he would french it himself.....

He finally agreed and we sent him to a soundproof room and made him watchAMerican Idol over and over again until there was not a funny bone left in his body..... Please go easy with him the next step is to have to watch dancing with star's or a Kevin costner movie.......Cut Colin some slack...it is one joke at a time....He has to say 'Im not going to joke today"

Let's hope it's more successful this time than last. When he was 14 all of Colin's friends chipped in for a humor transplant operation for him.

Sadly it didn't take, apparently no sense of humor can survive for long in that wretched shell of a man.

if you microwave it it is spillable

let this be alesson to all if you have a humor transplant you have to take your med's regularly

Notice how colin hasnt commented...it must be very hard to be surrounded by deep and thoughtful humor from a fat bald guy....("honey, why is it soo easy for Big Poppa and I struggle so?")

Colin's currently looking through American joke books and comic books.
Let's see if he can rise above the pressure!

This doesn't sound right :p:p:p

Well my tour with Toto is officially over, l just got home from my flight from Adelaide, and boy do l have a lot of great memories, first, meeting Colin, Rob and David Leeding, all you cats are awesome, and had a great time chatting to you all.

Out of all the concerts l've been to the last week, l think the Adelaide show was the best, the band just seemed to have so much fun, and that projected out into the crowd.

Then there was meeting the band members. Meeting Steve Lukather was awesome, he just a cool guy, and he will just walk up to you and start talking to you out of nowhere, Bobby Kimball, very nice guy, last night after the show involved a lot of pizza, drinking beer until 4am, i enjoyed that so much, and Bobby talked about any topic (within reason) nothing phased him.

I meet Simon, Lee, Greg and Tony too, they seemed like great guys, but they were a bit more laid back, and seemed to like spending time by themselves.

One guy l had the pleasure of meeting and having a good conversation, is Bob Bradshaw, he was more than happy to answer my "guitar geek" questions, and just seemed to be a pleasure to be around, l've heard some people say his rude, but l thought of him as the complete opposite.

The music, well Toto's music speaks for itself, if any of you have the chance to see Toto, DO IT, even if you are not a fan of them, you will be after the concert.

More soon,

Scott.
