Got up fairly early for a Sunday, about 10.30am.
Watched some tv, did the washing, tidied up a bit.
I sat and watched tv for most of the afternoon, there's a Junkyard Wars marathon on.
I had a shower, got ready, and left about 6pm.
I thought about going to get a steak, and I went through the carpark of the shopping centre near the steakhouses, but at that point I couldn't be bothered, and I didn't think I had time anyway, it was now about 6.25pm.
I went to Hungry Jacks, got some greasy stuff, and then kept going.
I went towards my mate's place, but I couldn't remember where his house was. I haven't been up here since we went to see some other band (The Animals?) like last year.
I was sure I had gone too far, so I pulled over, and called him.
I had gone too far, he told me where his place was.
I headed back, and found it without too much issue.
I got there about 6.40pm.
Just as I got there, a guy I went to school with I haven't seen for ages turned up, just the three of us were going up.
We went in to his house, had a beer, and watched the tv for a couple of minutes, then my mate's dad drove us up the road to the club.
We went in, I went to the atm and grabbed some cash, paid my mate for the ticket he'd got earlier in the week.
We grabbed a drink, and went to hang around near the pokies for a minute.
It was now a little bit after 8pm, the opening band would be on at this point.
We went in about 8.20pm, and they hadn't even come out yet.
We stood around, through the first opening band, "Peabody". They were fairly mediocre, it sounded like they played the same song about 10 times.
They went off, and Spiderbait came on, a bit after 9pm.
They were pretty good, they did "Calypso", which I wanted to hear, and of course they did Black Betty.
They went off, and the Hoodoo Gurus came on, about 10.25pm.
Every song went off really well, I was really impressed.
They did 1000 Miles, which I wanted to hear, but didn't expect them to do.
They did all the really good hits of course, like Wipeout, Miss Freelove, Come Anytime, Waking Up Tired.
They finished up after midnight.
I went up and bought a tshirt, for once a band that had some shirts with good designs on them.
The club had closed at this point, and we were all herded outside.
I was dying for some water, it had been pretty hot in there.
We lined up for the bus to take us back to my mate's place.
He'd bumped into someone from work in there, and her Mum was coming to pick her up. When her Mum turned up, my mate went across to see if we could get a lift, I didn't expect her to give us a lift, but she did.
We jumped in the car, and went back to my mates place.
As we walked into his house, we realised it must have been pretty loud, all our ears were ringing.
When we got inside, we had a chat for a few minutes, and my mate lent me one of his The Who DVDs.
I rode home, got home about 2am, and went to bed.
