Jarkko, I adore your delightfully creative clues! I presume that band will be at the New Zealand airport when the UHTC arrives, to give them the kind of welcome they deserve. . .

This is great news & I'm very happy for our friends in Australia & New Zealand!

So am I, holydove... even though he's played there, it's got to be so discouraging for the Aussies and New Zealanders most of the times that the concert schedules come out. So, now, it'll be Finally! At last!

So, I'm wondering if there are going to be 9 venues that they'll be playing.

Hi Bev,
You are looking very well!
Have you got over your fear of flying yet?
9 obviously doesn't mean September as he will be in some northern continent then.
Countdown to the end of this month?? Although countdowns usually start at 10.
9 concerts in the southern hemisphere??
9 concerts in Adelaide??

Ah Alan,

As you can see from the pic above, I was soooo excitedly happy; far beyond words!!

And no, I haven’t gotten over my fear of flying (remember last year with “snake on a plane”...ugh!) but over the last few days I have been contemplating a permanent cure for it. I have been seriously considering “Doing A Dean” ;-) And you know what that means – going to every single concert here in Australia :shock:
A strange thing happened while I was weighing up the pros and cons, Arlene’s words kept going around in my head, “It’s later than you think!” .... hummm .......

Jarkko’s clue could mean:
... 3 concerts in NZ ......... 9 concerts in Australia ... 3 concerts somewhere in the Pacific area - or the last three concerts are back in the USA. That’s a total of 15 concerts, making it the end of World Tour 2013.

And as I said a year ago, it’s probably going to be November for us. And of course, that is just a tad wishful thinking for 9 concerts in Adelaide! My flying fear would be definitely abated if there were 9 concerts in Brisbane :lol:

...... I’m half way through painting a portrait and am finding it difficult to concentrate on it after all this :)

I don't know of any festive receptions, but at least Scohoh will be happy when he wakes up today and sees this:

Thank you Jarkko! I've just had a change of thought about that number ...9... :razz:

It could simply mean that there are now ...8... days to go before the cities are named for the Pacific Tour...... so tomorrow it could be ...7... days ... and so on ... until ... 0 ... on 30th July at maybe 9am Australian time, it will all be revealed!

(My portrait is coming along very slowly due to all this wonderful distraction!)

We are so alike, I'm half way through painting my laundry and have encountered the same problem!

OMG, OMG, OMG,OMG,

Could this possibly mean somewhere flying closer than Australia???? Please say it is so and make it easier for us in the mainland to get to a concert?????

(P.S. I know that in the past members have questioned 'why Las Vegas' , and the answer has been because of the caliber of the techs made it so easy for the crew. I hate LV, but LC makes 'this most unmagical of cities' worthwhile- Please, Please, Please!!!!!)

Edit - Please, LC, management, Jarkko, give us some hope for a final concert this year PLEASSSSE!!!!!

You are so right Mary. Australia, being a small island just off the mainland, will make it so much easier to get to a concert :roll:
