YEEHAW!!!!

I sit here attempting to do my first blog...far too tired, drained, blah to really be doing anything bar sleeping but yet here i am. Why can you not sleep when you need it most? One of life's great mysteries!
This time in exactly one month i will flying off in a great big, scary plane to the grand 'ol US of A. I live in Australia...huge, mammoth flight for me and my main reason for going?? Kings of fuckin' Leon!!! Call me crazy, insane, whatever but these guys are amazing. I am a pretty big fan..once you see these guys live you just have to see them again and again, the show they put on and the effort they put into each and every song is just mind blowing. I am a member of the official KOL site and some lovely person on the forum..you know who you are :) decided that hey, why dont we all meet up in Nashville Tennessee for a KOL gig?! What a damn good idea!!! We have been waiting and waiting and waiting and after all that time here we are a month out, getting ready to embark on that huge flight with one of my best friends in the world who coincidentally i became friends with due to our mutual love of all things Followill. Flight has me a little freaked out, surely it aint normal to be sitting on a plane for that long!!! First stop is Los Angeles, there for a couple of hours before we get back on another plane and head to Nashville. In Nashville for the night before we embark on a bus trip to Birmingham, Alabama to catch our first KOL gig of the trip and meet up with the girls. Nothing like a bus trip at 7am in the morning with jetlag to go see your favourite bunch of guys!!! Very quick visit in Birmingham, will be pretty well check into hotel, pickup tickets, then queue at the arena. I aint flying all that way to not be up the front!!! In Birmingham for the night before we catch the bus back to Nashville for THE gig of the trip. Kings Of Leon in their home town, absolutely fuckin amazing!!! and we will be showing Nashville just how damn proud they should be of them!!! The guys have been playing Soft & Trani lately..so hoping they keep both those songs in for our gigs and i think i would pass out..hopefully i dont as that would completely ruin the moment...but if they played Arizona or True Love Way..wow, to be able to hear those 2 songs live would just be the ultimate.
But what has become just as important as seeing Jared, Caleb, Matt & Nathan is the amazing group of people i will be sharing this adventure with. To have the opportunity to be able to meet these people face to face, give them a hug and actually speak in person rather than through a computer is something im sure is going to be very, very special.
Thinking about this trip gets me through the crap moments of life, i have never been outside of Australia before so this is all going to be one hell of a big adventure. Am even thinking i need my first tattoo...gotta be KOL related since we are going to the home of Followill but what exactly I am still unsure??
Here's to long plane flights, NOT forgetting my passport or losing my luggage, meeting good friends and seeing the mighty, mighty Kings..has been far too long between gigs!!
