PG, please don't take this as a sign of lack of support from your Aussie fans. I for one would have flown from Perth to see you but having a shared bill like a festival of "who's who" didn't interest me. I'm passionate about your stuff, but don't care for the rest that much to spend big dollars on airfares & accommodation etc when prices are already inflated because of the Cup. Different matter if it was just you; that I would have gladly done! Please come sometime soon, but just your gang and then see the support you have.
