Bump

Unplanned, Unwired & Ultimately good fun.

With last weekends adrenaline fuelled frolics still strong in my memory, I had planned to keep this weekend low-key. To an extent it was, but not to quite the levels I'd hoped.

Friday night saw me out for a few beers and games of pool with some guys from work, before heading to Bondi's Beach Road Hotel for a few more beers and catch up chats with my friends, old and new.

After getting over Friday with a Thai lunch in the Junction, and some token shopping, it was time to get back onto the merry go round of life with a beer with good friends in the company of a band. This time it was The Butterfly Effect, a Brisbane band I saw before at last years Homebake festival. The venue was pretty cool - albeir a uni bar, the Roundhouse allowed for an awesomely in your face volume. See a clip I took of the band performing my favourite of their tracks 'Gone' complete with lead-singer hissy fit when his mic packs up here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0yCiR1I8YY

I finally got a decent sleep after a couple of weeks of many short short ones, and slowly got motivated to getting myself out into the world. This weeks activity of choice being a trip to the Aroma festival - Coffee, Chocolate & Spices. It was clear I wouldn't last long at this one, for one, I've never finished a cup of coffee in my life, in fact, I've only tried the stuff about 4 times in various guises. We bought some fudge which sicked me out straight away, it didn't help that I'd already eaten some liquorice and a packet of Crispy M&Ms not long before. Since all coffees were just a dollar, I figured I should try the stuff again.

A flat white was to be my next dabble with the dark drink. I decided to avoid sugar, but I still sprinkled some choc dust across it, there's something safe about chocolate. My verdict was "well it still has that disgusting coffee taste lingering after each mouthfull, but it ain't bad". I finished it. Well I got as far as the cold horrible bitter bit near the bottom.

So how could I beat that? Well, I couldn't. Instead, we convened outside one of the better Sydney pubs - "The Australian" and ate the chunkiest topped pizzas and guzzled a full set of taps worth of pinted variety beers. All was left to do of a lazy Sunday arvo, was to head home. But we accidentally managed to fall into one of Sydney's hottest new bars; The Argyle. A huge place that you just have to see to believe was so impressive to behold upon arrival... the only thing was a distinct lack of the opposite sex.

Aaron pointed this out to me, and eventually my senses realised it. Yup. Gay Night.We managed to snag a corner away from the err... action and of course still had a good fun weekend sundown.

PS. Happy 2nd birthday to http://www.starsofcctv.blogspot.com/
