Darren finally lost patience with Dave's conservative 'no fun' attitude........ :x
Tell us about the t-shirt, Dave....... half way between New York and Philadelphia, wasn't it?

Graham seemed to really enjoy Darren's 'cat wash' lessons on the ferry to Parramatta:

Fantastic Aitch! :lol:

See you Wednesday for a few drinks and dinner maybe? How do you fancy Nobu? :lol:

I hope Dave gets home OK. We were heartbroken to see him go. Darren and I dropped him off at the airport this morning. We couldn't wait until Melbourne to start celebrating. This shot was taken shortly after take off!! :lol:

No worries, Graham........... just let me know where and when and I'll be there!!

Nobu's OK but I prefer the up-market $10 parmagiana and a few pints. Besides......... Dave's not here to foot the bill!! :lol:

Or we could go to the Hard Rock Cafe - the Melbourne one still exists!! :wink:

Me too. Imagine what a group picture of everyone doing "the dance" will look like :lol:

One question -- how have you all managed to stay out of jail during the past week or so? Darren, you must have friends in high places.

It was a great weekend. One of the best times I've had for years, meeting up with Darren, Graham, Howard, and Dave and hitting all the 'guitar spots' in Sydney. The pics give an idea what it was like. Laughs all the way, and I'm definitely up for 2010 :D . Thanks especially to Darren for including me, and taking such great pics along the way

Well I just got in...

It is 2:00 AM EST and I am wide awake (I'm still on OZ time).

Thanks to all of you who where so kind to me while I was there.

I cannot recall laughing so much in one week before.

Many thanks to the Trott family for opening up their house for me!!!!

Also, for those who could not attend all the fun, this was pretty much what happened over and over again.
