Playground Weekender is the shit. Brushfires, not so much.

I haven't been around for a few, I know. After getting back to Mundey's, we took off on Friday for Playground Weekenders, out at The Del Rio Resort up North. The place was a beautiful, a playground it definitely was. Located on a river, right beside a golf course, and surrounded by trees, I was thrilled to be away from the hot city, and in a new place. I was also pretty damn excited about the lineup for the weekend. Cold War Kids, Primal Scream, TZU, The Streets? Um, hell yeah. If it hadn't been for the pool ad the river, it may have been miserable. The temperature was reaching the high 40's, which in fahrenheit is something like 110 degrees. Crazy. We were so far away from everything, and there was no cell phone service or internet, so nobody heard about the major brushfires outside of Melbourne. I was just watching the news and it looks like the death count will be near 200. Over 750 homes went up in flames. Talk about a comedown from an awesome couple of days. Aside from that, it was an incredible weekend, and Jess and I met some fabulous people. One of which is our new friend Alex, who's place we're going to be couch surfing at this week.
