texas
Hello rockstars..

well...i'm here in edmonton and feeling much better. I had some kind of flu/cold that really affected me in denver. It was pretty freaky... I had to use oxygen between songs in the colorado shows (due to the high altitude..)... I'm not sure if anyone knew in the audience.. But it was really difficult singing while wanting to basically collapse. But hey.. Did it.. Now my ears are just really blocked (huh? Whaddya say? Hehe).

anyway.... I just wanted to explain why there is not texas date. We were unable to secure a deal with a promoter to bring the show there. It sounds very complicated but it's not really. Every city has a promoter (a company) that 'buys' the show and 'sells' it. We've been negotiating with promoters for 6 months to secure the u.s tour. It's a logistical nightmare sometimes.. Getting the date, the venue and the deal that you need to be able to afford to bring a show to your town. In texas it's just a case of bad timing.. As the only possible opportunity to bring the show there was when we are on our way to australia to perform at the olympics.

it's not personal.
It's just not possible.
I want to thank the fans who were intelligent , sophisticated and mature enough to understand this.

as always..and with love
darren
