March Walkabout

Hi Everyone,

Thanks to all of you who came along to The Excelsior Hotel last
Saturday night. Really great show, and glad you could be a part of
it. Welcome also to anyone who is making their mailing list debut!
May this be the start of a long and beautiful friendship... or
something like that....

Anyway enough of my ramblings... Certainly there must be a point to
this email.

Ah yes - The March Walkabout Tour - please see attached flyer. There
is a brief description of the shows below. A few road trip
possibilities too if you're feeling adventurous - one to Tathra/
Wagga, and another to Bulli (near Wollongong) and the Blue Mountains.
Should be a lot of fun. Might see you there.

Please feel free to pass this on to anyone else who you think might
be interested. It all helps!

Cheers,

Renny

The February Rant

There are two things I would like to patent:

1. The variable-font subject line. So emails can look cool before you
open them. (This may already exist...)

2. A new punctuation mark that is in between a full stop (somewhat
disinterested) and an exclamation mark (incredibly excited!!). We
need a middle ground!! (I was excited there...).

Anyway - when I am not thinking about important things like this, I
am playing gigs, and there are a few good ones coming up:

(Yes I hear you - could be argued not my best introduction ever, but
can't blame a guy for trying something....)


SAT 23RD FEB - THE EXCELSIOR, SURRY HILLS

As with all the full band shows these days, you can expect special

always have something interesting to look out on stage - takes the
focus off my bald melon....
