- Seeing Mike Patton's "Peep Show" at the Enmore. I really wasn't sure what to expect, because he's done a pretty interesting and weird range of projects since (and during) Faith No More. Peep Show seemed to have a lot of hip hop influence in it, but he was very, very good. He's very comfortable with the crowd - seemingly always looking for the opportunity to antogonise (some things never change) which the fans always love. The supporting cast were quite impressive, including a girl named Butterscotch who would put Michael Winslow to shame as a human sound effects machine.
- Playing a poker game in the back room of a pub put together by Adam's friend Luke. Most of the attendees (12?) seemed quite hardened and aggressive, which I found pretty enjoyable as I more-often-than-not find myself as the guy throwing out the barbs. Due to the hard core nature, we cranked through quite a few games. I came first twice and second twice (no points/cash for second place). Given the beers, bourbons, pizzas and cigars I bought over the duration, I did only slightly better than "break even" after factoring in cab fare.
- Another wedding-on-a-boat for V's friend Venessa (I'm a veteran on boat weddings now :) ). V was the matron of honour, and did a good job looking after the bride on the day. Quite enjoyable overall, and (maybe it was the beers, but) some very fine speeches. V fortunately had enough to drink so that by the time I got home I was able to watch the Wallabies beat the All-Blacks in peace!
- A house warming at Nige's, after going to the ruggers with Adam to watch Wandwick nawwowy beat Norths. I had six beers before I even got to the house warming, so things only escalated once I got stuck into wine and cigars. I probably should have had a bit more to eat over the 13 hour stint.
The year is going very quickly!
