Tour Diary - January 12, 2011 - Home…for a few hours

Happy New Year All!!!

I am travelling tomorrow and I’ll get a chance to tell you all about some exciting stuff to come. So apologies for this quick and dirty blog. Maybe I should get a Twitter account?

Just wanted to remind everyone to tune in to the Season Premiere of Republic of Doyle tonight on CBC TV. Yours truly makes a Guest appearance in Episode 2, airing next Wednesday. Just wanted to give you all the heads up and wish you a Happy New Year.

More in a day or so.

Cheers,
Alan

No need to apologise for doing it quick and dirty. A time and a place for everything. Maybe even for Twitter too, though I'm no fan of length limits. But Russell has surely used it wisely and well.

A time and a place for exciting stuff too, especially for you - any time and every place. I hope it's all going exactly the way you most desire.  A day or so it is, then - that counts as a promise.

We're thinking about going down to the Duke tonight to see the season premiere. What better place to watch ROD?  But it looks like  I will have to record your appearance next week so I can see it after I get back home from LA.  

Safe travels, and do carry on with all your exciting stuff.

I am with annathepiper and blun6340! You need a twitter account! You know that you want to!! C'mon on join us, its a wonderful spot! Sean and Bob can tell you ALLLL about it! You would instantly have more followers than you would know what to do with!

As for Republic of Doyle, wouldn't dream of missing it. ESPECIALLY next week's episode. That one will be a rating's grabber for sure!! Can't wait for that episode! You rocked it I am sure, just like you rocked the role of Danny Zuko in that 24 hour musical of Grease! Oh yeah!

Happy New Years to you and yours as well, and thank you for a wonderful time at the Delta Hotel Ballroom for the 2010 edition of Great Big Christmas! A wonderful time was had by all, and the setlist was near perfect!

Hey, I'd follow you on Twitter, though due to some personal security issues you'll not recognize me, more than likely, because I've got a different name there. (and to those of you reading this, no hints! LOL, that's kind of the whole point of having an alias! Anyway, it's so obscure there's probably no way anybody would figure it out).

Happy New Year to you as well and I am agog to hear the news :)

As for Republic of Doyle, we Americans without the benefit of satellite or whatever have to wait a day until it gets online, but better late than never, I suppose.

Ha, looks like your fans want you to join Twitter (including this fan;))!  It’s a great way to connect to your fans.

Happy New Year to you too!  Looks like you and the guys had a great time down at The Falls.  I know I had a great time watching you from my warm couch ;)

I will definitely be watching Republic of Doyle this season.  Great show!

Safe travels this year.  Remember to soak up everything that you can.  Life passes so fast, you blink and you miss it.

Cheers! ;)

Now I am bummed.  I tried to call up ROD to see episodes and was informed that they "can't stream outside of Canada"!  What kind of nonsense is that?  What good is internet TV if you can't see what you wish to see.   Sorry to be grumpy...just woke up.  >8(     need coffee........

I may be alone in saying this, but please don't switch to Twitter, like everyone else.  I'd much rather get a reasonably lengthy blog post with real content once a month than one or two sentences saying nothing every few hours.  I appreciate the effort you clearly put into your posts, and don't mind waiting awhile in between because I know you'll write when you actually have something to say.  (No offense to Sean and Bob, who tweet better than most. . .)
