This weekend proved to be one of the most amazingly fun times I've had thus far in Sydney. I had been looking forward to the Sound Relief concert for a couple of weeks, and was thoroughly contented with the way the day turned out. Our new besty Narissa came along with Jess and I, and Mundey met up with us there. Starting the day with mimosas and arriving just in time to see Coldplay was a great start to the day. Wolfmother, Jet, Presets, Midnight Oil, and The Beegees were also on the bill, as well as live streams from KOL and Jack Johnson over in Melbourne. The barricades were a bit of an ass pain, as they sectioned off areas so you couldn't get to your friends once inside. I think it was because there was no age minimum to get in, and they wanted to keep the kids out of the drinking spots. No matter, we were able to snag a couple of VIP bracelets and get on to the main grass ahead of the stage. We found our friends Huey and Wardy and spent the day in the heat, in the rain, under an umbrella mundey lifted off a drink vendor and finally shivering and wanting to change. A quick stop in the city after the show to dry off followed by a night in the cross, this was one of the most fun days I've spent here in Sydney, and that's saying a lot. Check out the coverage at quietcolor.com. As for this week, it's St. Patty's day today! Jess and I are going to head into town and hit up some Irish bars and make a day of it. Friday we're seeing Coby Grant at a small bar downtown. She's from Melbourne and has a voice that will send you places. Check that review out at thedwarf.com.au. Saturday we may go see kiwi band Fat Freddy's Drop, and then next week we're off to the beautiful Whitsunday Islands, so lots coming up. Can't wait for the few days ahead!
