It started with going to see British India in fucking Fern Tree Gully, of all places. No biggie, we just got drunk and they were fucking good. And because Ellie has this little charismatic knack that I will never have when it comes to "getting in with the band", we ended up out back, having ciggies and scored a lift back to the city with them. Just quietly, as much as I do have a big thing for their music, they're a bit on the wanky side for my liking. But we finished up there, Ellie on a far better note than me (wish I could make out with lead singers)!!
Thursday became Friday, I woke up at some ungodly hour and found myself scattered beyond belief. Passed the day by dozing, went to see Clare-bear at her athletics down at Olympic Park. Popped back home, and got my shit together to head to Geelong. Caught the train, amidst drama which involved Greggles missing the train but it was okay :) we all got there in the end. Got drunk again and went into the big bad city to see Lise and so we just popped around the back and snuck on up. Georgia Fair were fucking brilliant and suffice to say I now have a large crush on their tour manager. Hung out a little bit afterwards, (she was amazing, as always. Me so proud) then went to the Nash, but it was a little flat. Ate disgusting amounts of Mcdonalds, something I thought I didn't do anymore, then went homeskis.
Got up Saturday, got straight back on the horse and headed off to Bendigo for Groovin' The Moo with some warm goon and juice. Jem did a lovely job of driving and we got there to face a hideous, buzz-killing line, which we endured for about an hr before just heading up to the gates and walking in. Found large amounts of people in not much space, went and saw Lise play, again. Then British, then we just hung out for a large portion of the afternoon, seeing Miami Horror, Spoon, Tegan and Sara, Vampire Weekend and Silverchair.
Sobriety was fine, but didn't do much for warding off the cold. Everyone was amazing, particuarly Silverchair who I've never really paid much attention to before now, but my friend Annie is obsessed. They were quite mind-blowing and Daniel Johns said 'cunt' twice and so he immediately was worthy in my opinion.
Thankfully had a god send in Jem who drove us back to Geelong and the rest of my weekend was spent on Steph's couch, with a bit of New Moon, pizza and grocery shopping in between.
Also, I regain my faith in life and the fact that cool little things do happen to me every once in a while. She's already done the cute little blog about us meeting (she being Haylee, the lovely, lovely Haylee), but I thought I would just tell you that, we met on Myspace in '06, no rhyme or reason, started talking, realised we were effectively the same people, albeit with some slightly different, defining features (I don't think I'll ever love coffee that much), but we have just talked ever since then. Always discussed when we would finally meet in person, and that it would be some random, twist of fate, like in the movies of course. I always just imagined we'd finally get our act together and organise to have drinks haha. But turns out: I saw her in the Vic Markets, one night, few months back. It was so the random meeting we always imagined. And then, yesterday when I went to Groovin', and arrived just in time to see Lisa play, guess who's standing less than a metre away?
God it just makes me smile something chronic, ya know?
So much more to blog about (so annoying since sometimes I'm so stuck for witty things to write about) but I will leave it for this week :)
More party cam for your enjoyment (or non-enjoyment, but surely it's better than the Logies).
you make me smile something chronic.
ReplyDeletewe're the greatest.
(and you'll learn to love coffee that much.)
