I'm packing for the trip already and given the state of my back these days I'm going as light as possible. No Laptop. I'll check in here from time to time but most of the time I'll just be Tweeting or Twittering or whatever it's called as that is much easier from the iPhone.

Great to see tickets selling out-and this time I get in! More shows to see including a new Sydney show Friday 13th-lucky for some.
Tour doing well, and it hasn't yet begun. Best for tour! Looking forward to catching up with all those lucky enough to be part of it, YI's ultimate Fly-Ins and those coming to a few shows. Fill us in on the Forum or Fly-Ins of how your shows went, living vicariously through others, and soon myself.

Having been a fan for many years, it was an immense treat to see you live and acoustic. I think that my wife left feeling wistful. Maybe I did too,but for different reasons. The nature of your songs certainly evoked a lot of feelings and your delivery of them only served to intensify the moment.
Thanks very much for a night to remember and I hope you got or get, some great food, golf and all those things you enjoy.

Title: Brisbane Show

Dear shopkeeper !
Firstly, great choice of venue. The powerhouse is a brilliant and intimate place to see a performer. Secondly, great show. Despite there being some stupid, pissed goose there trying to give you shit about playing this or not playing that, you gave a great set to many adoring fans.
Thanks again - it was money well very well spent !!

It was a good crowd that enjoyed the show last night, it was great to see many that knew the music, but had not seen him live be won over by the performance.

Title: Singapore Show

I thought the show last night was incredible. I came straight home and dug out my Lloyd Cole vinyl records and made my husband sit up with me until the wee small hours listening to some old favourites. Loved the finale "Undressed" - which was always one of my favourites. Lloyd's voice was incredible. The only downer was that the CDs sold out at the interval - I missed out.

Thanks for a great evening. It was the first time I saw LC since Hammersmith Palais in, umm, 1985. So I have heard Heartbroken three times live now. Have been playing your great records for two decades and hope you return to Singapore.

Hi Mr Cole,

Thanks for your great show in Paris.
I learnt 2 things this night: first, you're English and not Scottish, sorry but for that i make 2 happy girls (i lose my bet, i need to pay drinks), and second you speak very well french language: "je me moque de moi-même",
"undressed veut dire nue" etc... Why you have not sung the french dylan song version 'si tu dois partir'?
Thanks for this unforgettable night....without speaking handball euh excuse me Soccer with France-Ireland.
