As previously reported, TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA guitarist Chris Caffery (SAVATAGE) is keeping a tour diary for the duration of the east coast company's North American tour. He has issued the following update:

"Indy!!!

I know...big rock band on the road. Day off. Big party right?

Nah! I slept in until late morning. We arrived at about 5AM. Then I woke up and did some business for a few hours, filled some CD orders and went back to sleep! I was woken up by Sava Cali's text about the really nice 9 pointer her got with his bow today. It is a killer buck!

After this I was restless and headed downstairs. I wound up meeting Jeff and we headed to...yup, you guessed it...CVS! I was upset because they had no Christmas lights! From there Jeff went to the Hard Rock to eat and I went to the mall. I grabbed a few things I needed and dropped them back in my room. I had to try and find our buses because I needed more CD's. When I got back downstairs it was pouring! I ran into a few of the crew members who were on their way for sushi and I took their offer to join in. It took forever for this chef to make the stuff. It was after 9 when we left. I headed towards the bus, the rain had slowed. But then it poured all over me for the rest of the walk. Everyone stopped in the place the Slippery Noodle. It is a famous Blues bar here. I headed back to go to the gym. I wanted to keep my knee loose and not let it take a step backwards on the day off. I just did light leg exercises and some easy cardio as I watched the football game.

I now sit in my room ready to approve some more MySpace requests. I passed 75,000 views yesterday and just passed 100,000 playes on my player tonite! I will pass 18,000 friends in a day or 2! Thanks for all of the support. I know there are some MySpacers signing up here. The web-stats are showing a great deal of visits coming over from there.

Tomorrow I think we have tix for the Pacers game!

I will talk to you all then! "

Peace!
