Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year!
Posted by fridgy on December 29, 2008
That’s the most creative thing I could think of at this festive time of year. I think I (probably like yourself) have been permanently hung-over, full of food and exhausted for the last week and we still have New Years to come!!
Just a quick update to let you know how the gig in Burren Junction went: fantastic!
Ok fine, I’ll give you a bit more detail. One of my best mates Steve Philp and I flew up on the Friday morning with Qantaslink. Our flight left at 8:00am and my seat was 8D which was a window seat. Perhaps I’m going in to too much detail… Hmmmm, I’ll try and find a happy medium.
The gig was in a “town”, and by “town” I mean “pub” called Burren. When you walked in to the pub, basically all they had to drink was Tooheys New and Bundy Rum on tap. The gig was outside in the beer garden which isn’t all that idea for comedy, especially as all the old people sat RIGHT at the back of the beer garden. Of course, I had to give the oldies crap for doing this and I said “why are you guys all the way back there? Is there Mylanta on tap up the back??” All the young people loved this and laughed, while of course all the old people commenced hating me. Steve killed and the rest of the night is a blur.
The rest of the weekend will be summarised in point form:
- After the gig we gave those New and Bundy Rum taps a good ol’ workout.
- The next day we drove quad bikes and chased wildlife ruthlessly.
- Then we had a barbecue and the potato salad had French Onion Soup in it and was delicious!
- Then we helped on the farm and I realised I would make a very crap and lazy (i.e. poor) farmer.
- We went shooting and it turns out I am actually Jason Bourne himself.
- I played a few songs for the drums for the local band whilst very drunk to my delight.
- My mate Steve can’t close one eye at a time (and subsequently battles at shooting)
- I want to get a pet budgie.
- People in the country drink like mongrels and don’t seem to get hungover.
- There are now 2 Qantaslink flight attendants who think Steve and I are annoying smart-arses.
That’s about it for the country trip! I wish everyone a safe and happy New Year!!! Please check back in the 2009 because I think it’s going to be a ripper year and can’t wait for it all to begin!
Take care guys!
Done.
