Rock on!

Super weekend! The Social Club Christmas party on Friday was a blast though I must say that the party boat got pretty darn small with everyone on board. Especially during the stampede to the bar for one dollar drinks. There were some pretty darn crazy hats and wigs out there and Craig and Don didn't disappoint.



Four hours of karaoke, drinking, dancing, more drinking, huge oily burgers and yet more drinking was a pretty good effort by our standards. The boat docked close to midnight so we had to wait for ages at the station for a train to come in. It's kinda scary seeing the sort of people that are up at those hours waiting for the train. Large groups of goths, drunks and school kids high on sniffing paint or whatever they do these days.

Saturday turned out to be another late night on the town as we got to see MISSY HIGGINS AND BEN LEE in concert!!! Cue hoards of teenage girls screaming "Missy!" from the ridiculously packed hillside. I can't believe how much money they must have made squeezing all of us into the venue. A good 80 people had to stand in what was effectively the aisle because they couldn't move to find a place to sit down on the grass.

Anyways, it was a Missy Higgins and Friends concert at Riverside so there were a few other acts before the main event but we were just waiting for Ben and Missy to come on. Missy is probably the closest I'll come to a Tori Amos concert over here (That angsty, wailing, piano pounding, chick rock that I love so much). Both of them put on a great show though Alison and I both thought it would have been better if Ben Lee had a longer set. I think he's going to be playing at the Arena on the 27th of November so there's a good chance that we'll be buying tickets.
