Today it is 37 days until the official tour start in Abu Dhabi. Five weeks and two days. I am ready! Organized the following today:
- Flight tickets (38,000 miles, 75 hours net flying, several 6-12 h flights)
- China VISA
And I am back on track to get fit for the tour, biking in zone red 10 minutes x 3 these past three days. I tend to overdo it, but weeks of rest are giving a great energy boost. Dangerous. The plan was 2+2 hours walking per day, to and from work, for the next four weeks, but then we got snow last week, so now I am between no-snow and real snow activities. It is paying off great to be fit for a tour. Standing, walking, waiting, moving around, for hours, before, during and after shows, changing city every 3-4 days, then it is great to have lots of energy left when the encore is on at 11pm or so show day.
Singapore and Shanghai? They will sell out in 1-2 hours, so no worries about these. Just have to count on the fact that they are on the schedule, but tour logistics may change them ot halt the announcement for still a whiole. You just need a VISA permit handy, it is too late to apply when you are on tour.
Usually we have snow in November, and it stays. By January we have 2-3 feet. Now we get an inch or two every day, so I hope I can start cross country skiing Saturday or Sunday. Then it is just in time for the tour. Three weeks of skiing is much more fun than biking in a fitness room with other maniacs!
Family, friends and customers have been prepared for the fact that I will be away for two months. THey all say have a nice trip. I am relaxed. And ready. This will be a great tour. Lots of travel, but every show will be unique, and I hope to be able to write some reports from the far east and down under...

Shanghai sell out in 1-2 hours ? Yeah RIGHT !! 1-2 decades more like, unless they readjust their insane ticket prices. I suspect the Stones will be playing to about 6 people in the pit and otherwise - a bunch of other people in the cheapest seats at the opposite end of the arena. Don't know what they're going to do with the middle bit, maybe have a basketball game running concurrently ?

I would not worry too much about sell-out or not. When San Francisco 2 shows sold slowly they added Metallica as warmup and it was win-win. I don't know about the exact Shanghai sales, but I am sure they will sort it out. Or it will be moved to a club of 600 people. Either way no worries.
