Rained out.
African day pretty much got rained out today. We spent the morning driving around, looking at new window frames (so we can get rid of our old timber ones) and popped into the Narrabundah oval to see what was happening there. At least they had some hot food available - we had a black-eyed bean cake each and bought some yummy red beef casserole in a takeaway container that we'll have for tea. They only had light beer available there - no water or softdrink so we shared one of those too. As we were leaving some people started playing drums which was cool. Other than that, bit of a bust really. Shame. Nevermind! There's always next year. Yay for African Day anyway.

Yay for MB!

How exciting - I'm that much closer to deleting all my stuff off Facebook & just using this account instead. First photo album on the photostream is Michael Bolton! He was terrific. He sang all the old hits (even some I'd completely forgotten about). The shaky recording I've made on my point'n'click doesn't do him justice at all. My two girlfriends and I had a really fun night, singing along with him & the rest of the crowd.

I do have to say though, that the promotional posters of him were False Advertising. He is not as tight and tanned and smooth as they suggest, and at nearly 60 I don't think he should have to be, poor bloke. He was absolutely lovely and very entertaining.

When some tool threw a pair of black undies at the stage he laughed and hung them on a mic stand. Ick; can't believe he picked them up! Two drunken "ladies" also tripped up the stairs in front of us when they were heading to their seats. It was an eventful concert! Shame they didn't sell more tickets. Shame also that they had it at the AIS and not at Tilley's cafe - he could have done 2 or 3 more intimate shows there instead. Moda might even have come along for that!

Memoirs
It's quite fun working on my memoirs. I should totally be working on school stuff, but that's nowhere near as much fun. Only 2 assignments to go and one of them is due next week. Woohoo! Can't wait. Also can't wait to go see Michael Bolton! I have to start organising those tickets soon. It'll be so much fun to be transported back to year 7 with "How am I supposed to live without you?" Oh yeah. There's a sale on at the moment, I might have to make a few calls tonight!
