I can haz cak3?
I like the fact that humanity still continues to surprise me. Sometimes just the smallest actions on the part of individuals can completely restore your hope for the whole. On the evening of my Birthday some of the backpackers I had met (Joe, Lucy, Camilla, Jamie, Max, Pascalle et al) organised a surprise birthday cake at the Side Bar! They even got me a card signed by pretty much everyone who counts at my Hostel. Their little gesture made me feel so loved and provided entertainment for the masses at the pub.
I made some new friends that night, danced like I was possessed by the spirit of jazz and went to bed with a smile on my face. Best, Birthday, Ever.
Lazy Days
Sometimes the days when you plan to do next to nothing turn out the best. A walk to find a guitar turned into a relaxing trundle through Sydney, stopping at a few bars for happy hours and quiet drinks. I said goodbye to my new friend over dinner and then hit the Three Wise Monkeys for dancing with some of the backpackers from my hostel. I got into the YHA soaked in sweat and exhausted. It was a roller-coaster of a day emotionally, but fulfilling.
I still don’t have a guitar though…
Australia Day Shenanigans
It started with goon at 10am, and ended with sliding through Sydney soaking wet when the skies opened up and nature dealt a dud hand.
I’ve never been so sopping wet in my life, and yet enjoyed every minute. The day saw me drinking in Hyde Park, our group receiving the title “The Goon Boys” from the cops then walking to Cockle Bay for another free concert in the rain. The whole while I had the Hottest 100 in my ear, which made me a lot of new friends and had me dancing in the streets; which didn’t go down so well with the cops, even though they were closed. I guess the man doesn’t like those who dance to the beat of their own drum…

Drinking with Birds
Last night I had a great night out drinking with Adam and a few more of the guys from Birds of Tokyo and Sneaky Sound System. We wandered around Surrey Hills a bit, took the piss out of some drunk ladies and in general got on it.
Today I’m heading back into Surrey Hills to meet up with the guys and catch a lift to the Big Day Out. Should be a good day.
