Sid's Sexy House of Doom 

Alice in Gaiman Book

[link=http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1560976179/sickthingsuk-21][/link]This one I almost missed, but thanks to ProvidencePhoenix.com here it is. 'Hanging Out with the Dream King: Conversations with Neil Gaiman and His Collaborators' By Joseph McCabe is a book about comics legend and Alice Cooper collaborator Neil Gaimen and apparently features an interview with Alice (plus presumably some background info) about "The Last Temptation" comic book. It's out now and available from Amazon.co.uk. I've not seen a copy yet so can't varify how much Alice content there may be.

UK Tickets: A Statement

Since yesterday morning there has been an incredible amount of ill feeling towards the organisers of the forthcoming UK (and by extention Australian, European and North American) tour from the online Alice Cooper community on the mailing list, the message board and also through private emails we have recieved here. In response to this the owner and contributers to this site have felt the need to issue the following statement on our position in this matter. We do not expect that the promotors will take any notice of it, however we believe something has to be said. Read it here

Monster Dog DVD

[link=http://musicvideodistributors.com/customer/product.php?productid=234350%26cat=%26page=1][/link] As reported earlier 'Monster Dog', staring Alice Cooper is to finally see a DVD release in the US on Feb. 15th through Video Music Distribution. Click the link to get it direct from the distributers and see a pic of the new cover design.

Unoffical Sickthings Meetup

There is already talk about where to meet up before the shows on the new UK tour, including the suggestion of one big meet up, so how would you like a (dis)organised UNOFFICIAL Sickthings meetup at a private function room on the afternoon of the show? There would be food, drink, music, possibly film, kareoke, a quiz and maybe even a surprise or two (NOT Alice). It would involve a small cover charge to help pay for the room hire but if enough people are interested this would hopefully be kept to a few pounds (no prices or quotes are available yet). At the moment we are looking at ONLY Wembley (6th Nov.) OR Birmingham (9th Nov.) as these are the shows that logistically would be the easiest to do for the organisers. If this type of informal event would interest you then send an email to [link=mailto:meetup@sickthingsuk.co.uk]meetup@sickthingsuk.co.uk[/link] simply stating your prefered venue, Wembley or Birmingham. You will be under no obligation by replying. This is simply a fact finding thing to see whether there is enough interest to make it work. (NOTE: You will not get a reply as we are simply collecting numbers for the moment, however if the plan goes further you will be contacted at a later date. Emails come directly to me so you will NOT get spam or added to any mailing lists.) Please only email if you are genuinely interested in such an event and would be able to attend. Can I repeat this is just an idea at present (may never happen) and a private unofficial fan gathering. Alice Cooper, the band, management and promotors are NOT involved.

Prince Of Darkness on TV

Prince of Darkness is on Movie Central's 'Shadow Lane' tommorow at 10:30 am and 10:15 pm. 'Shadow Lane' is one of the "extra" paid package channels, here but it's not "Pay per view". The times are Pacific. It's also on a few times more in January and February according to the Movie Central site. (thanks Zoogirl)

Cardiff Press

Very short announcement of the Cardiff show has appeared at ICWales site. No new info but thought I'd mention it as it's the first general press for the tour I've seen.

Fanfire Speak

This is a statement direct from Fanfire who are running the ticket packages. "Update Information : January 19, 2005" A VERY LIMITED PORTION of all tickets in the front 20 rows (only approximately 200 tickets) are available through AliceCooper.com. No entire row has been reserved for the package opportunities, ensuring that tickets in all rows be available not only through AliceCooper.com, but also through other ticket outlets and without the premium add-ons. Premium tickets have NOT taken the entire first two rows for the Platinum packages.Many other tickets are available without paying a premium. Effort has been taken to put together a special evening including awesome seats, exclusive merchandise, autographs, a meet and greet, and a photo. More than just a ticket -- a night that will never be forgotten.

New Interview

There's a new golf related interview appeared at the Ottawa Sun conducted at the PGA Merchandise Show.

European Tour Dates

The first couple of Mainland Europe shows have appeared for Finland and Denmark in August with many more to follow I'm sure. All dates will be added to the tour dates area (look right) as soon as I hear about them. If you find any dates in your area/country please let me know as it's impossible for me to watch every possible festival and venue site in Europe so may miss things appearing.

'Rock School'

A couple of reports have appeared about Alice's appearance at the Sundance Film Festival at the 'Rock School' Launch party. He performed 'School's Out' of course. The one with the most AC content is Newsday.com
