It begins...

So i guess this will be my/our journal of sorts for the next four months or so. I always head out on tour with a notebook and a pen with the intention of documenting every funny/stupid/ridiculous/devastating thing that happens, but after around day four i start getting lazy/sleepy/grumpy and giving up on the whole thing. When i read back on some of the tour journals i've started and not finished it makes me wish i'd put in the effort to write just a little bit each day and take more photos of the interesting and funny things that happen on the road. Extremely funny and interesting to everyone in the whole entire world i'm sure, or maybe just me and my friends, but either way my memory gets worse as the years fly by and the drinks keep flowing, so this is this.

This week was spent tying up loose ends for the tour, moving house and packing. Packing sucks. Packing for four months is a nightmare. We would have gone to the WAMI Awards, but come on thursday night is Lost night...

Either way, The Homicides took home the lamington for best hardcore/punk which wasn't all that suprising, though i thought Project Mayhem were odds on. Ouch. It all worked out for the best because now i can put a face to another of the "Oceanic Six" and we can sneak away on tour while those bands keep the Hydey alive whilst we're gone.

Crowey and have just under a week of lounging around on the Gold Coast before proper tour begins a.k.a. "gig mode". We'll be staying on the beach with our one time scab member Scott Pears a.k.a. Scott Ruins a.k.a. Scotty Doesn't Know and hopefully getting some waves.

Then our friends from Japan, FC Five will arrive and the party will begin. They don't speak much english but that will make it even more fun. Look out for party boy(jp version) as he likes to get naked, and well come to think of it, last time we were in Japan we noticed that alot of people like to get naked and mosh. Some kind of "advanced gig mode" we have yet achieve over here yet i suppose. We'll also be joined by BLKOUT!, who will have "Sorry" shirts available at all the "concerts".

Anyway, i gotta go to the airport. So hopefully i'll update this in a few days with some stories. Guarens. Probs. Defs Maybs...
