A sunny Saturday, so off to the beach. Neilsen Park in Sydney's inner harbour. Quite clean & pleasant, surprisingly. Shame the same can't be said for at least one patron - taken away by a Park Ranger & 2 cops for public practice of onanism. At a family beach... in daylight... with kids running everywhere. Points for effort, but still... stupid wanker!!

I'd booked tickets for the gipsy band Tsunami benefit gig at the Basement for the evening... completely forgetting that I was previously booked for a birthday dinner as well. Reynardo will kill me & Lederhosen will probably want to watch...

Anyway, the gig was good for a while, but after 2+ hours, there's only so many polkas a sane person can stand, so off to Balmain for the tail end of a folk-blues night with no proceeds going to Aceh, or anywhere else other than the musicians pockets. A sentiment I can approve... charity, after all, begins at home... after the rent's been paid & there's food in the kitchen.

Sunday... a LOTR extended edition marathon with the other 2 members of the Joshua band. The band I want to leave because of marijuana-induced inactivity on 2/3s of the memberships part. Unfortunately, the right time to talk about this didn't seem to come up. Band politics & the battle for Middle Earth just don't mix... either that or I'm an over-sensitive, conflict-avoiding coward.

The kitchen was a disaster area by the end of the day. Various light meals, snacks & a complete dinner were prepared throughout the day, as well as a variety of alcohols. Just about every piece of cutlery, glass, plate & bowl I own was used... & there were only 3 of us!! The washing up this evening was another marathon effort.

Lots of long talks with near & dear friends over the weekend... I'd give the whole thing about 7.5...
