Well what a day it has been. I decided to rock on to the sounds of the St Kilda Festival this morning, so at about midday I jumped on the bike to fight the masses.
After riding up footpaths, around barriers and dodging security guards, I managed to get the motorbike up in a nice area where a lot of other bikes had propped themselves.
As much as it was a great idea transport wise to take the bike, it was damn uncomfy in the bike boots all day, and carrying around my jacket was a pain in the arse, although did proove helpful for something to sit on.
The main to acts I went to see today were Blue King Brown and The Audreys and man was it worth every cent (considering it didn’t cost me a thing!)
Blue King Brown were up first and they absolutely ROCKED OUT! The are just such an amazing group with such political messages that they are not only great to listen to musically, but also poetically.
Then the wind started blowing, and man did it blow! The grass was going EVERYWHERE! And worst of all, in your eyes.
The Audreys came on and did their thing, they were also really good. I have really got into their new album, and they have had some great exposure on JJJ and on ABC2 when they did a massive Aus Music Month of specials.
Caught up with Al who was working at the festival for a while, and then scooted off home to get out of the sun as I could feel that I was cooking at one hell of a rapid pace!
Got home to find that I now resemble something that looks like a tomato, and my arms and neck are much the same! I really should know better as to go out without sunscreen on!
So I’m sure I’ll pay for that for the next few days, but hey, it was all worth it.
What’s on for the week ahead? Well at this point in time, only have a handfull of jobs booked in, but have a mound of paperwork that needs doing, my gst is due and I haven’t even started to look at that, and I really should invoice as I haven’t done that in a few weeks either.
And then there is the 4 websites I have to do. So all in all, there is heaps to do! Where do I find more time!
Well, that’s it for me, I am pooped! The Aussies are getting their arses kicked in the cricked which really sucks and play is on hold for the rain in Sydney which doesn’t look like it will blow over any time soon, so I think it will be off to Adelaide for the decider betweek Australia and England.
Time for some more water (very very dehydrated!) and then some sleep!
