Hi Jeff, If Al Brisco enjoys his weekend with you guys as much as I did, he will be a very happy man.
I have wonderful memories of the time I spent you and your team last year. You are in for a real treat, as Al is a wonderful player and a super guy and friend.
I will miss him in Dallas next month. Have a good one.

I dont see the name of the demented Tony Davis!!!

Jim Priebe · Post by **Jim Priebe** » 14 Jun 2014 8:06 pm

Is that demented or fermented?
A typo maybe?

Paddy Long · Post by **Paddy Long** » 15 Jun 2014 3:50 pm

definitely fermented

Allen since we will be inside most of the time I don't think we will notice the perfect weather mate hehe ....

Allen Hutchison · Post by **Allen Hutchison** » 23 Jun 2014 1:42 pm

Well the Brisbane festival show is over & a great time was had by all. Can't wait till the next one.

I'm going to leave a full report for Jeff to do - BUT as for Al Brisco, all I can say is WOW

All the artists did a fantastic job, we had a surprise special guest & the shoot-out between Al Brisco & Paddy Long at the Sunday social was amazing.

Thanks to everyone for a wonderful weekend & I hope to see you all again next year.

Cheers, Allen.
