Thanks for the heads up, Kira. Shouldn't be hard to remember the 24th........ I'll have a hangover. Now all I have to do is associate hangovers with Eric Clapton and and I will remember to book and be set like a jelly!!

Didn't Clapton pull out of a proposed Aussie tour last year?(Or earlier this year). Hopefully no repeat "performance" this time.

Ah...the Ent Cent, and not Acer Arena. The man is pure class!!! I hope the tickets are not as expensive as I fear.....
