Love. And tomatoes.

Monday, June 30th, 2008

The month of June has been filled with much matrimony it would seem. At the start of the month, a group of us road-tripped to Victoria, to celebrate Graham and Kristina’s wedding (yes, the one that happened back in January). Now, anyone that knows me, knows that Victoria (well, Melbourne specifically) do not rank highly […]

Summer of concerts (part 1)

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

So, summer has finally drawn to a close: I refused to wear more than a t-shirt yesterday as my own little element of defiance against the elements. Apparently La Nina is to blame for:
- the wettest summer in over 5 years
- the coolest summer on average in over 10 years
- the least amount of daily […]

Final Destination 4

Friday, January 18th, 2008

Wednesday morning began quietly, as most tense films begin. After an excellent Moroccan lamb (thanks Adrian) the night before, I was exceedingly keen about both lunch and a visit to the bank later that day (oh, and work ofcourse.. *cough*).
In hindsight, much like the films, the innocuous nature of a certain chain of events in […]

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today…

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

The eagerly anticipated wedding of Megan & Josh took place a short while back (yes, this is the Josh of paintball fame) in the beautiful Chinese Gardens of Friendship in Darling Harbour.
The weather of the past week reminded me of the weather in the days leading up the wedding: it was quite wet. Not quite […]

Yohoho, a pirate’s life for me!

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

So, the day of reckoning finally arrived, and the third, but possibly not final installment of Pirates. In case it wasn’t clear, these tickets were obtained as a result of winning a Mix106.5 competition, and resulted in Kellie and I seeing Pirates 3 quite early! Seeing the movie before most people saw it has its […]

Not your average kinda Guy

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

Recently, Kellie and I visited the latest venue to be graced by Guy Sebastian’s musical talents, one of the places where all performers can be humbled: the Sydney Opera House. It was very much a case of ‘returning to the scene of the crime’, as this was where it all started, where Guy was crowned […]

What a Guy…

Monday, March 19th, 2007

A recent visit to glitzy Star City to see Guy Sebastian on tour with Kellie netted quite an amazing evening. First of all, it was a very different concert to previous ones. There appeared to be less flash and bang… definitely less dancing, yet, an overall richer experience.
It began with, as many people immediately labelled, […]

A breath of fresh air

Monday, January 1st, 2007

Well, first of all, Happy New Year everyone, hope you had a safe fun time A small BBQ gathering was held at Casa de Frads, with a few games of Articulate until the fireworks rolled around, none of which my team won.. but there is always next time! The Sydney fireworks, as always […]

Quality Assurance for Concerts

Monday, December 11th, 2006

2006 has been a year marked with many big name celebrities visiting Sydney, touting their audio wares in large celebrations of light and sound. U2, delayed by a number of months, Kylie, delayed by a bit longer. Billy Joel and Elton John rounded out the oldies group, and Robbie Williams represented for today’s pop. […]
