Play in wetsuits!

Dear Diary,

While driving from Canberra to Sydney yesterday morning we had an in depth discussion about what our next film clip should be…. I decided that it will be western themed…. But instead of horses we will ride sheep…. And use sheep in acting roles such as the local whores…. The old jailer Robert…. And have a sheep playing honky-tonk piano in the saloon. You don’t have to tell me how amazing that will be…. I already know.

So far our tour has gone shwimmingly…. Brisbane show turned into a ridiculously long party…. Then we went to Toowoomba…. Which is somewhere south west of Brisbane…. The venue was only little but what it lacked in size it made up with technique…. After the show we went back to Mel from Little Scout’s parents place…. The next day I lost my shoes…. I could find a pair of black volleys like mine but they were size 9 not size 12 which I use to fit my feet in quite nicely…. Size 9’s hurt my feet.... then there was a big ass storm in Brisbane…. You know the one that’s been on the picture box all the time…. It was quite exciting…. So exciting in fact that I howled at the (lack of the) moon and tried to chew through my collar…. And ran up and down the hallway and skidded into the wall.

There is no real easy way to say this diary…. She sells sea shells from the sea floor…. It’s just impossible to say it really fast…. It gets so confusing…. Your mouth is all like “should I make the shhh sound or the sss sound?” then it gets so confused that it expels spittle and tries to invade a small Island nation and turn it into an imperial outpost….. You know how it goes diary…. You’ve been there…. We’ve all been there.

On Wednesday we flew down to Canberra.... apparently it’s our nation’s capital…. I had no idea either…. Once again we stayed in the back packers above the venue…. There were also two busloads of kids from Byron Bay staying there as well…. On the same floor as us…. Those little bastards…. Apparently someone in the band is fat… that came from one of those little wankers…. They were alright…. I love kids…. Not in that way… in the normal way… you know the kind where there’s no penetration….. the show was awesome… it was strangely packed for a Wednesday night…. After the show me an ross invited ourselves back to Megan’s place… who we had just met… went to bed at 4 or 5… I swear to god I had my alarm set for 8:30 so we could get back in time to check out of the backpackers but it fell between the cushions of the couch I was sleeping on and I didn’t hear it…. It wasn’t a big deal that we woke up at 10:30 and the other dudes had to pack up our stuff…. I mean who cares that you had to carry my underclothes an whatnot…. I’d do it for anyone of them…. Except Tim…. I’m so not a fan of that guy… I prefer more popular people.

Last night we played at the Hopetoun in Sydney… we play there again tonight…. We managed to sell it out…. I did hear someone say that they thought Cuthbert and the Nightwalkers were headlining so I think that might have helped…. It was soooooo fucking hot on stage….. it was so bad that I quit the band…. Then rejoined a minute later cause I was so delirious that I forgot what just happened…. I was so sweaty that I kept on sliding off shit… my fingers kept sliding off the keyboard keys…. My head kept sliding off my hand when I tried to look cool at the bar…. On the plus side I got to do a mega cool slide across a car bonnet.

So tonight we play the Hopetoun again…. I’m going to come prepared and wear a wetsuit this time…. I ain’t no foo’

Love pete
