Gigs Ahoy!

On the strength of our jam a few weeks ago, Garth from the Empire Pub (aka The Garthness) texted to offer us a gig the other day. Looks like we'll all be back from vacations in time for a practice beforehand, so why not? We'll be sharing the night with with another band anyway, so it's more for the practice than the money. Mike has also fielded an enquiry from a mate in Wellington who's interested in flying us up there to play at his 60th birthday in April some time.

We used to play backyard parties for twentysomethings, now it's 50th and 60th parties. Scary.

Ipod, Newpod

So the very next day, I went back to Dick Smith Electronics and they gave me another new 80 gig ipod Classic. It's been two weeks with this one. So far, so good. Nice screens on these little machines. So I've been ripping DVD's and Youtube videos to it for Georgia to watch over the Summer vacation. I've also got my Fabulous Thunderbirds live DVD in there. Very cool.
