The merchandise for Japan seems to be what is available on-line already.. prices are a bit inflated mind.. $35 US for a tshirt, $45 for the scarf, $15 for the key chain..

(


Do you have any pictures of the merchandise or a link to the site so as we can have a look?


I assume he means the stuff thats onsale on the US site.


It may not, but we'll see.

Well, we did do the jazz version of "Irish Rover".

And as Spider has now taken to announcing it to all Japanese audiences, I suppose it's no longer a big secret that he and the lovely Louise will be getting married in Las Vegas on October 15th.

Ah, nice one! Will it be a drive thro' at the local Elvis-o-rama, or something more glamorous - I think Elton & Celine will be in town...

and then there was Tokyo!! A great show last night with heaps of energy from the band and the fans. I can assure you Eric NOBODY was sitting down in the front rows.. the fans were mad for it.

I don't know how the band does it.. I have been at 3 gigs as a fan this week and I am knackered. And then after the show the band took another hour or so talking to fans backstage.. RESPECT!

Thanks everyone. Best man? Take a wild guess. Oh, and he's announced this morning he will be singing an Elvis song for us at some point during the ceremony...

And whilst i'm here, Japan you've been fantastic and i would like to apologise for all the mistakes the rest of the band have been making and i'm sure it's in no way related to the fact that they have been drinking bars dry of sake in every town we've visited. And,i'm not including Shane in this bunch of miscreants.
