Be Safe, Play Hard

We had a blast last night if you disregard the masses of middle-aged teens who insist on wearing thongs and handbags in a mosh pit or thinking it is a really good idea to surge the pit. Although in the end we were laughing about it because they were just a sight to see.

, well every song sounded like the previous one, I had really expected more after listening to stuff on their website.

were pretty cool, loved rocking out to My Paper Heart, One More Sad Song etc. Though the lead singer was a bit weird he kept on going on about how hot all the chicks were in the audience. And in the words of Sam, “Most of them are under 16 and in Australia that is called paedophilia”. Yep I am telling you, we saw kids who couldn’t have been more than nine there.

And well what could we expect from ? After a great show in March? Well they only got better, since this was their first tour with them as headliners it was much better, they had control, they did what they liked, they rocked:) A couple of things really stood out, when Chuck the drummer was let to run wild in the crowd and then had the stage to himself for a while. The two songs they covered - Happy Together by The Turtles and I Believe in a Thing Called Love by The Darkness - rocked the house, have to say the Darkness cover was really good. Now I am sure that all bands say how much they love a particular city each time they do a show there, well this time they took it one step further and did a freestyle rap ode to Brisbane, taking off H to the IZZO by Jay-Z but it was B to the the Brissay. Sam and I stood there cracking our sides in laughter.

Mobile phones are *so* the lighter of the 21st century :) Ok, so I stole the idea from The OC, kudos to anyone who can tell me which episode but it was so fun seeing the sea of mobile phone lights for the slow songs.

I took some videos of the concert as well as the photos that are here but need to figure out how to edit and compress the files down.

The Beat

cha-cha

Yesterday I joined the masses and visited DFO, where I picked up two gorgesous things. The first a top for $69, marked down from $199 as well as a new quilt cover set. I have this thing for bed linen :)

After dropping Matthew over a freind’s house for pre-going out drinks, I headed home to get ready for my night out. So all dolled up in my new top, heels and black pants I headed off to meet up with my friends. My best guy friend is gay with a capital G, some of his friends say he is too gay and well when you go out with him, you are always going to spend your time at The Beat, so after meeting up with some other friends we headed off to The Beat to dance and laugh the night away. Spending our time going between the Cockatoo Club to dance and the Crystal Lounge to sit and chat. Close to midnight Sam and I made the trek back into the city to get the last buses home because taxi fairs are just way too pricey.

Speaking of Sam, in a couple of minutes she will arrive and we are heading off to see a dream come true - are playing tonight at The Entertainment Center, also featuring and

This post was brought to by the letter E for Emily Kate, who thinks I am cool enough to be her blog of the day and in her honour I have added ohh 180 new header images from the Iceland trip. Which header will display when you visit me?
