Well, well, well. If you've been wondering why I've been so quiet here, it's because I've been doing some writing in my real, old-fashioned, off-line journal. Dear Diary...sorry I've been so slack here.
To say that things have been awfully crazy and exciting would be like saying Gene Simmons has an averaged sized tongue. Understatement galore.
I got a photo back of me and the crew at the KISS concert. It's pretty damn funny.
For Easter, I went to Ray's parents' place for dinner....yummy Lebanese food.
I saw some good bands this week, including the funky and fun Bordello and the amazingly talented and giftedMatt Walker. Matt's touring Oz now, so DO try to check him out.
On the 12th of April, when I was trying to write about it----I meant to see Quarteracre, Faker, and The Drugs, but I was out too late on my first date and missed Quarteracre. Then I missed Faker cause I was doing karaoke...(oh the shame!) And I was doing karaoke for the first time in 3 years and I was doing it sober! O even more shame! But I did see The Drugs--woo-hoo. Again, I say that the Newtown RSL is one of the freaking loudest venues in all of Sydney. Thankfully I actually brought my earplugs.
I've been working on a very special writing project lately. And what's weird is that I don't know if many people will be able to see it when it's done. Crazy that, but it's got to be done.
After seeing all these bands lately, I seriously feel like I need to be working on more music. As much fun as it is to go to gigs, I don't want to be someone who goes to gigs and says, "hey, nice show" to the band. I want to BE the band! And Matt Walker was a definite inspiration to get my ass in gear and start practicing my guitar MUCH more.
I am exhausted......night' night!
