Sid's Sexy House of Doom 

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.

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

More Nemi

Alice makes yet another appearance in Scandinavian comic book Nemi this month (xmas issue). Eagle-eyed watchers will know that this is about the third time Alice has made an appearance in the book as the creator is a big fan.

Short Alice Mention

AZCentral has a short mention and quote from Alice about the Diamondbacks baseball team.

Monster Dog on DVD

According to Blabbermouth.net Monster Dog will get an official US DVD release on February 15th through Eclectic DVD and Jef Films. No info if there will be any extras yet, or if this will get a UK release as well.

Alice to play Sponsorship Show?

According to Sportstrend.com Alice will be playing a private show at the 2005 PGA show, Not date is given but from looking around it could be between Jan. 27-30, 2005 in Orlando, FL.: "Phillips-Van Heusen and Tehama plan to launch their jointly designed IZOD-G brand of fashion-forward performance apparel for golf with an invitation-only kick-off party at the 2005 PGA Show that will feature a live concert by rock legend Alice Cooper. One year ago, Phillips-Van Heusen and Tehama announced their plans to join forces with Izod G, a line of contemporary and technically superior sportswear for golf. Today, the two companies confirm industry expectations that their alliance has been successful."
