Adelaide...the first time around

Ah Adelaide...what a nice little city. so much to do....as long as your day is done by 10pm...then the city shuts down. had a great first few days there. and 2 great days of shows there as well. I say the first time around because we will be finishing the tour in Adelaide in a few weeks. 

On the morning of our second show day there. Mario, the promoter, thought it would be a great idea to give bud and the crew a private tour of Adelaide. Seeing as Mario lived there..it was only natural. Mario is a great guy...world known promoter...as well as owning a very successful wine touring company. Wine is HUGE in Adelaide. 

Mario picked us up at 9am and off we went to see the city. after a little bit in the car, Mario took us up into the hills of Adelaide...where the money is as we say. beautiful homes, golf courses, the works. a little bit into the trip...Mario turns up the radio and the DJ on station starts doing a promo for the show...pretty cool! then he says...world famous promoter Mario Maiolo is taking Bud Forrest and his crew up to the north hills of Adelaide today...giving them a proper tour of the city and experiencing our fine city...so thanks Mario...and show them a good time!

it was amazing. and funny at the same time! for once i felt like a rock star!
heres some pictures of our adventures around the city with Mario and our time spent in Adelaide.
and no...10am is not too early for wine tasting!
