Hey..welcome back to the tour. We have missed you. Let me take you now to a very sacred place. This is my bed in the tour bus. I call it my 'monkey bunk'....don't ask me why..it's kinda private..! But that's what I call it.. Actually I have become quite fond of it. To the point that I am finding it hard to sleep in regular beds now. I am used to the constant rocking of the highway. There is a little T.V in there...but I rarely watch it. By the time my head hits the pillow..I am out! It is actually very soothing..and I am someone who finds sleeping very difficult.
We have had a ball on tour with our new support..Billy Myers.

Billy Myers is just FANTASTIC. She is very talented..as are her band. Billy is also VERY VERY funny. Here is a picture of her and I in my dressing room about two seconds before our show in Miami. This was the day of our manager..Rebecca's birthday. We got her all sorts of nice presents and this huge cake. Here is a picture of my face in the cake.

Long Story! I am commonly known as 'tabu' in the band because I kind of..well....I just take things to the extreme in terms of practical jokes and goofing about. Usually with birthday cakes I end of throwing them all over people...and sticking them to walls etc. You know..normal things like that. So this time the band got me first...Laurie..our production GODDESS pushed my face into it when I was PRETENDING to take a big bite. GRRRR!! Florida was hot and steamy..and reminded me very much of Australia. Played some great shows...although something really stupid happened in Fort Lauderdale. For some bizarre reason..security allowed five audience members to run onto the stage during Truly Madly Deeply. But I don't mean just running up to say hello. They kind of scared the hell out of all of us...and ruined a beautiful moment in the song. We virtually didn't end the show...because they just wouldn't leave the stage. So we all learned a valuable lesson in security. I had my eyes closed as I sang the last notes of the last song of the night...and felt the stair case rumble...and when I looked up there were three people on the stage with me. It just made no sense to me...I tried to talk to the girl...even say hi...but she was screaming..while her boyfriend spent his time telling aggressively informing anyone who would listen that he had every right to be there on stage because he won an after show pass.!!! THIS WAS DURING THE SHOW!!! I look back now and kinda laugh it off but in the moment..I really felt that the incident ruined to mood for the rest of the audience. I didn't really get to say goodbye to the crowd...we just had to leave.
