It's interesting for me to get back into Adelaide, this was where I used to live and there's always that quaint old country town feeling when you get in but first of all, it was time to claim my free luggage trolley, seriously, Adelaide airport is the best airport in Australia, none of this pay $4 for a luggage trolley and with how much luggage I was carrying it was incredibly a godsend.
So carrying on from SiSeN wanting to eat Australian food, GPK decides to start "blending in with the locals" and starts talking like Steve Irwin and trying to teach SiSeN how to speak old school Australian "G'Day Mate", "Crikey!" was heard from the back seat. I proceeded to tell them my future plans about how I was going to do a show in Japan, and we'd have kangaroo girls throwing shrimp on the barbie, sausage sizzle, Fosters, Australian cocktails (goon mixed with soft drink) and AC/DC cover bands. God we were already going crazy and it was only the second day. XD
So we rock up the hotel we ended up with this incredibly fancy 4 star hotel which funnily enough was the cheapest of the tour (yay, Adelaide), catch up with our Adelaide crew, instead of politely saying hi, we decided to horribly act like fanboys and fangirls and cheer for them as they go through the hotel. We talk about how the people in Adelaide have a bit of a unique accent compared to the rest of Australia and it was quite noticable, everyone seemed to say cunt a lot. XD
We had all barely eaten so we found something somewhat Australian that wasn't a pie floater (no meat pie in pea soup, thanks Adelaide). We scoff down pancakes and stop pretending that we're a Japanese music tour and act as Australian as possible. Continuing on our trend as being Australian as possible, we visit as many Asian stores as possible.

Prelude
Not surprisingly Adelaide was going to be one of the smaller shows on the tour but it was going to be a fun one since it was a simpler setup, although with that said we had mass amounts of venue drama and miscommunication. Thankfully Kevin was my awesome Adelaide manager and along with Ken we figured it all out.
Show
By far the most stressful show on my end, with all the last minute venue drama, I had Kevin who was awesome and did an amazing job sorting everything out in the end, it was really one of those shows which appeared easy at first but with so little going to plan and was a nightmare to get it all going right but somehow we got through the night. It was another awesome performance by everyone and Adelaide's crowd might have been small but were dedicated and it's fun on my end since it's a bit of and old school reunion with people I used to see regularly that I only see when I do shows. In particular Kevin who's one of my best friends was awesome to hang out with again.
So we had venue dramas in short it was to do with drinks and how much we owe the venue, in short the best way to get even was to get catgirls to serve shots of vodka and tequilla. Did things go to plan, hell no. Did everyone end up having fun, oh god yes, it was one of those things that we never would have imagine would have happened at any event let alone one I'd do and no it's never going to happen ever again. It was a bizarre and interesting night and somehow surviving it was a huge relief, I had no idea how I was going to do the rest of this tour.
So we had dramas at this show behind the scenes, so we decide to have a meeting and sort things out since we had the three big shows coming up and we didn't want a repeat of that night. We were somewhat satisfied at the end of it all except for one thing. ROOM SERVICE! I didn't have winged monkeys I could unleash onto the person who decided onto this, so we went ahead and went through almost $100 junk food combined. To our credit, normal eating patterns go out the window with the tour.
A few hours of sleep, then it's off to the airport and sleep dep is slowly starting to kick in hard, it might be difficult to sleep on planes but I had no choice but to learn how too.
