First post!

Ahh...hockey season is over again for the year, so I get my Saturdays back. I finally get a chance to start putting the finishing touches on the new website today...almost ready to actually tell people about it! The problems I've been having with my back are also getting better, meaning I can now actually sit in front of a PC for more than five minutes at a time without numbing pain shooting down my left arm...makes a big difference!
Heading out to watch 4th grade in the first prelim finals later this afternoon, unfortunatley Michelle has to work today, UNSW has a careers info day! Still working out what to do tonight...maybe the football at the SFS, Australia vs. Solomon Islands, otherwise Charlie & the Chocolate Factory looks great? Definitely want to see Charlie, I'm a big Tim Burton and Johnny Depp fan.
We spent much of last weekend listening to Triple J's "Impossible Music Festival" on the radio...what an amazing weekend for anyone that loves good music! The concept was simple, but only a station like the J's could pull it off. An entire weekend of live recordings from the J archive from 1975 - 2005. Some amazing sets, including my highlights, INXS from 1983 when they were still a bunch of unpretentious young musos from the Northern beaches jamming in a pub...pretty sad to see what they've been reduced to in 2005, Jeff Buckley at Sydney's Phoenician Club in '95, one of the gigs that I really regret not having gone to...the same can be said about Nirvana from '92, if only I knew then what I know now, I would have given a kidney to be there! Some of the gigs I was at, System of a Down at 2002 BDO, pure power, absolutely awesome, Placebo at the Hordern in 2004, if you listen hard enough you can hear one or two of my inappropriately placed "Woooooooooh's", and Faith no More in 1995, probably the last time they toured. There was a lot more that I missed, although I worked out that I'd actually been to see about 30 of the 50 artists on the line-up anyway. I hope that Triple J makes this a yearly event.
