Today was in a word: awesome!

The beginning was fairly mundane, with me washing my hair, but at about 2pm, we went to our city's festival centre, and saw a free performance by Josh Pyke. Now, for those who don't know, Josh Pyke is a nifty Australian musician.

It was a very intimate hour+ performance (with an attendance of under 150 people would be my guess), and best of all, it was free. Half way through, he said that he was going to call is mother up on his mobile, it being Mother's Day and all, and on the count of three, the whole audience was to shout out "happy mothers day!". He rang, got the message machine, and we left our little message machine. Then he's like "yeah, i'd like to see my sister's top that shit!".

Later, midway through another song, he just stops and is like: "um, this is really embarrassing, but my phone's ringing". So, just like that he answers his mobile, and it's his friend Dan. After getting everyone in the audience to shout "Hey Dan!", he apologised and said he'd call him back later. Then he started telling us stories about Dan. Then he redid the song.

He did surprisingly well, considering he had the flu... but to compensate for the few off notes, he played a brand new song. Never played before. Very good.

There were other jokes in the performance, but there's no point me relaying everything he said word-for-word.


Outside, there was a little marketty thing happening. I walked past a guy who had a table of hair pin things, and the stall owner said to me "oh! You have marvelous hair! let me show you these pins!". (imagine that with a very heavy french accent). I was like, "...sure". He wrapped my hair (waist-length, hence the attention), and put it up in a bun/french twisty thing. It looked very cool.... and i would've bought one of his pins, but they were 50 bucks a piece, which was a little out of my price range. (pin isn't quite an adequate word. they were curved soldered metal with shaped details, with a spike that poked through to attach it to the hair)


After, my sister and I traipsed over to Borders, and i bought "Dappled Cities Fly" limited edition album "Granddance". I love them. (they're australian too... from sydney).


Anyway, in conclusion, it was a great day.


Oh yeah, i might just mention that i actually submitted a new deviation! Please please, hold your applause
