Scruffy Wallace

is the name of the bagpipes player in Dropkick murphys....
what a champ.

on another note...underoath are touring with emery and they are actually doing an adelaide show. so very exciting!

went to the garden of unearthly delights. went on the ferris wheel which was cold, but fun. the trapeze artists were done for the day which was a bit of a shame. and we went and saw the man with a big claw or something...it was pretty off beat BUT he did show a bit of an old heaman cartoon as well as captain planet. pretty cool!

that punk rock band from boston

so last night was possible the most fun i've had at a punk rock show in quite some time!
first of all it was an 18+ show which makes it better. now i'm not trying to decriminate against younger people, i love young people but when you get to 23 and you go to an 18+ show then i am still at least 5 years older then the youngest people there...

anyway i'm getting off topic...

i went and saw the dropkick murphys last night. WOW
ok so they consist of 7 guys from boston in the usa but they have alot of irish links! they ing alot about ireland. they have a guy who plays bag pipes (and please note that there was a pirates flag from the top if the bagpipes!),there was a recorder, a piano accordian, guitars (of course), a left handed bass player...and left handed drummer! ahhh they played the songs i wanted to hear and some i hadn't heard. check out rocky road to dublin... it's such a great song.
and then to top the night off i got to go on to the stage with the band...and shannon my new gig buddy was there too on the stage! hahaahhaha it was funny!

anyway someone needs this computer!

adam hills what a leg

i went last night to the theby theatre to see Adam Hills an australian comedian. he was so funny, as you hope all comedians will be. he did his advance australia fair thing...where he sings the words to our national anthem to the tune of working class man by jimmy barnes...sooo good! and there was a signer there and he kept catching her out to do rude signs...

lots of laughs.


check him out if he's ever in a town near you.

rain rain don't go away

it started raining this afternoon and i praise God for that. i was sitting in my bedroom reading and it started lightly and then got heavier and heavier. it is so good! i was at a school camp earlier in the week near strathalbyn and it is so dry there. i hope they get rain too.
and i went to the shops this afternoon and a friendly lady...with VERY RAD glasses served me..i commented on them and as i was leaving she said enjoy splashing in the puddles!

i think i might!

applied for a passport today!

Nikola and 10 year not so reunion

when i heard that the lead singer from milliencolin was doing a solo acoustic tour i thought for sure Adelaide would be skipped. but to my absolute joy he did a show at enigma on Saturday night and it was fantastic. i went solo and met a friendly fellow who i studying to be a nurse and he bought his mum and dad along which was cool!
and he played and played to the small but very committed crowd...i even got a set list after and got a to lauren from nikola! but it was hard to get in because everyone was spell bound afterwards...(i'm telling you it was wonderful everyone should have been there!)

and this guy was talking to him and asking if he liked wine...cause his friends (and he pointed to his friend) dad owns a winery in the barrossa henske wines...and the funny thing is that when dad was studying we used to go out to the barrossa and the owner of that very winery used to go to the same church...i reakon it was his son that played the saxaphone...he was pretty nice on the eye...but because i was so pre occupied with nikola i only realised this a couple moments later and when i went to freak him out and ask him if his parents did go to that church he was gone! oh well...it was a wonderful night...i parked on hindley street and my car was still there when i got back so i was pretty pleased!
