Its been a busy week.
T’Nealle was in town for a week before flying out to New York again yesterday. So we hung out, it was her birthday on Wednesday so we went to Che Jaz for drinks. Thursday we had a tea party at her new flat for her birthday also.
Then T and I went to the Media Club for Kittentank and Thought Creature. I left early with Todd so I could go home and work on a funding application for Red Panda. Instead I woke up confused at 3am with the laptop on me and the TV playing informercials. I sort of failed on that account.
Friday I went out to Kowhai with Will and Nick. It was kind of entertaining. Its a very pretty place. I’d very much like to go out there without so many drunk people and just have a quiet night in the bush under the stars.
So many stars out there.
John and Stephen in the cabin
John… after too many drinks.
The bonfire was quite nice. It was very cold though. Maybe it would be nicer in the middle of summer.
After we made it back to Chch in the morning, I watched the entire BBC Pride and Prejudice on the couch under a blanket at Nick’s. I had my usual little squeals of delight in watching a lot of Colin Firth.
I eventually made it home for a shower. Jasper picked me up and we went to C1, but I really wasn’t totally ready to eat anything or do anything. We were just killing time until Maja’s exhibition opening anyway. I rang Joff from outside the opening as I’d just been talking to his old boss inside. It’s just such a small world sometimes. A lot of the time.
Jas dropped me off at Media Club and I hung round, finally felt like eating something and got some Subway. Sleepy Age played. It was a bit sloppy, but a couple of the songs sounded really good.
After their set we ran off to The Dux, I mostly hung out with Hayden’s girlfriend who is really nice. I mostly just coveted her shoes though.
I didn’t manage to get any good photos.
This is Josh jumping off the drum kit. They played much better though. Vocals sounded better at the Media Club but then they had Marcus working on the sound desk there. The crowd was really big but mostly disappeared for Tourettes, which sucks because he’s amazingly good. I guess they all went to GBM for more So So Modern. We went out to suburban nowhere for Courtney’s 21st party. I had my costume, but didn’t put it on. I would have frozen in it. I guess I’ll just save it for Halloween now.
My folks are in town, but they’ve ditched me for friends today. So I don’t know what I’m doing except going to see The Wizard of Oz at 5:30 tonight.
