Out in the forest...

so, arriving at a festival site after a 12 hour bus ride in which you don't get much sleep is never fun. However, it's a beautiful spot, I have to say. I'm currently in Salmo, British Columbia. Currently, it's quiet, but I'm sure by Thursday this will dramatically change.

I wonder exactly what I'm doing though. We're starting to get organised but there is a lot to do in the next few days. I'm waiting on a job manual to go through and to ask any questions.

I guess I haven't ever been at a fest site this early. It's interesting. Staff starting to trickle in and still a lot to be set up and moved. It will be interesting to watch it be shaped, like watching the Hope Street Warehouse get ready for a party.

Unfortunately right now, I do feel like a nap, however with tent in full sun; it's not likely. This won't be a problem ordinarily because I'll be working days and won't get back to said tent til quite late.

I absolutely need a shower, yes already.

Austrayya Day Long Weekend...

So here's how it went... Friday: drinks with Adam and Sal for Adam's birthday down at South Bank. Noice.

Saturday: BIG breakfast cook-up with Erin, of course watched Falcon Beach, listened to the Hottest 100 countdown for a bit and got mates online to stream it from their end so we could drink and smoke and boogie together.

Sunday: breakfast, went to visit Maria for a few hours then walked into town to meet Tard and Wase for a screening of The Darjeeling Limited. Really really enjoyed it. Never quite realised how beautiful Adrien Brody really is. *swoon* Not necessarily Laugh Out Loud funny, but just very good and very pleasant indeed. Could easily become a favourite.

Aside: But I must say... movie ticket prices are ridiculous. It cost me $24.10 for the ticket, a bottle of water and a medium frozen coke. I mean get real greater union, you really think I'm going to keep coming to your cinema when I can go to the Cineplex screens and pay no more than $7.90?

Monday: re-painted the last bit of my wall in the hallway. Put more things in bags for the op-shop. Went through more paperwork I'm sure. Had a snooze. Went for a sing with Tom & Camille. Watched America's Next Top Model.

That's that folks. Back at work. Sucks to work indeed.
