04-28-08 Auckland New Zealand: 2343 hrs. Today was a long series of interviews that went well although there was a lot of waiting around to do them and I don’t know what good they will do the two shows I have here. I got here yesterday afternoon. Road Manager Ward and I went to the local record store, ate and then came back here. I got in a good workout and then tried to get some sleep as I have an 0730 hrs. lobby call to start press. The last 4 shows in Sydney were a great time and thanks to all who showed up. I have the two shows here in NZ and then I am done with shows until August. I have a lot of work to do at the company have some other projects I am lining up for the time off the road that will hopefully keep me busy. I am tired and have to get up early to head down to Wellington for the first show. I am glad that the Australian dates went so well and look forward to these two here.
