127.5 Reasons why I won't be seeing Daft Punk

$127.50 for the pleasure of standing on the grass to watch Daft Punk - Homey don't play that!

I got quite excited yesterday when I saw the following bulletin in my MySpace page regarding the Daft Punk concert, so I followed the link.

Not only was the ticket allocation exhausted (at 4pm), but I discovered that the general admission tickets & reserved seats were all the same price. Now I didn't mind paying over $100 to see The Pixies, but this sort of money for Daft Punk is crazy!

'Tis a pity, as there live show is apparently jaw-droppingly good, but alas, Melbourne will have to enjoy it without me...

I'll buy the dvd, open a nice bottle of shiraz, and enjoy the show for half the cost in the comfort of Pleasantville instead methinks. Wanna come over?

Daft Punk are Playing in my House, My House!

Read during the week that Daft Punk are finally bringing the pyramid to Melbourne!

Hooray for that!

They'll be playing at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl on December 14, the scene of The Pixies show earlier this year, and I'll be there with bells on! Apparently a double live cd will be in the shops a few weeks prior!



Harder, Better, Stronger, Faster indeed!

Yes, Contrary to Rumours, I am STILL ALIVE

Ok OK, I know it's been a month and a half since my last update, but I've been busy with the Melbourne Film Festival, turning 40, and packing my mother off to Qld for a month in the sun.

But I'm back baby, I'm back!

Went to the Lee Gallery opening on Friday night, and discovered that if Fashionistas are Perth, I'm Sydney. The place was full of heaps of wanna-bees, models, haircuts, crocodiles, snakes, stick insects, and Madam Ginger & I. We brought along Niece Poopie whom had fun, but even the free booze wasn't tempting enough to keep us in the sardine-like conditions. The kids seemed to be having a ball though, and there were some mighty fine legs on display! Woohoo! So glad I'm an old fella now...

Got home just in time to watch "The 40 Year Old Virgin" on Foxtel - now that's entertainment!

How do I know you're gay? 'Cause you like Coldplay - Genius!
