ElemenoP album release gig

Last night I went to ElemenoP's album release gig for "trouble in paradise". I tell you, if you haven't got it yet, go out and buy it!!! Its a great album. What a night!!! ElemenoP, End of Fashion, and Foamy Ed, all at the best venue for live band gigs ... Studio on Krd. Apart from the 12 year olds and the kids with parents downstairs, it was a really good show, but we had our R18 bar and escape upstairs, so it was all good. And the little kids weren't in the mosh pit so its all good.

Then afterwards I went to the vip room at Crow Bar in town for the afterparty, I'm doing well at working my way into invite only band parties, haha. Had a lot of fun hangin out with Tyson from Steriogram as he carried me down the stairs into the party, tried to kiss me several times (note: "tried" ... but didnt succeed ... haha), and had a great time dancing with the rest of my mates.

Anyway, rewinding to the rest of my week .... Well I've been working, thats not all that exciting really. Tuesday night I visited my friend James in hospital, then hung out with Mikey for a while. We watched police ten7 and one of my stories was on ... always fun to see your name on the tv screen in the credits, hehe. Wednesday I went out to a cafe with a whole lot of mates from dance on. Thursday I can't quite remember, must have stayed home, not sure ... hmm. Friday I went to Rawlife ... its the youth (well ... 18plus age group) from my church... we have the most awesome youth events on friday nights. This week was no exception. Two guys I know Marc (who's the lead singer of a band called Mozelee), and AndyD, came and did an acoustic set. An awesome mix of rock and rap, and mixing the two influences definitely worked for them! They're currently just breaking their way out there ... currently knows just as AndyD I think, but I think they'll be known as "calling elijah" next year .... hmm don't quote me on that yet, but definitely worth keeping an eye out for.

Well thats my week. I've been to auckland hospital every day this week to see my friend James. His lung collapsed, and didn't heal like it was meant to, so they had to operate on him this week :-( It really sux to see someone I care about so much going through that sort of stuff. But he's on the mend now after they've stapled his lung back together, put draining tubes in his side, etc. I won't go into the gorey details (I handle them fine, but apparently some people go queezy ... weak I tell you, you're all weak! haha) . Hopefully he'll be able to go home soon cos hospitals really aren't that exciting. I think I'd go insane if I was in his shoes.

A big week ahead ... work and a job interview ... more on that one later :-)
