I woke up, and lay in for ages, watching tv. I eventually got up, at 1.15pm.

There was some really annoying noise going on, I thought it was a hard drive or a fan, and while looking to see where it was comeing from, I realised it was actually someone playing the drums in a garage nearby.

I sat around for a while, and got a message from my drummer mate, he said he was at his cousin's place.

I got a message from my mate, whose wife left him, he wanted to see me.

A couple minutes later, my mobile rang, and I started chatting, and then my landline rang, it was my other mate.

I got off the mobile, told my drummer mate I'd call him back, and answered the landline. I arranged to see my other mate, so then I called back my drummer mate, and I told him I'd see him later, at the show we're going to.

I had a shower, and then my mate turned up. We had a drink, and chatted for a while, and then my mobile rang.

It was the senior DBA. He said something along the lines of "don't freak out", and I initially thought it was something to do with the tivo I'd installed in the house, but then he followed it up by saying "we've been robbed".

Hmm, terrific. I imagined the place was ransacked, but then he told me "not inside".

We spoke for a couple of minutes, and basically someone had gone in the laundry, that wasn't locked, and pinched both our mountain bikes.

They'd also gone through the back shed, and pinched a whole bunch of the senior DBA's tools, including power tools, and some paint brushes.

They must have been there for ages, because all the boxes in the shed had been gone through, and they'd taken what they wanted.

They'd also pinched the washing powder, and the pegs, this was what had made him realise what had happened, when he couldn't find the washing powder.

It could have been days ago, because I hadn't been in the laundry since Tuesday, and the senior DBA hadn't ridden his bike to work all week.

My mate suggested that I tell him to go to the police station, and file a report.

I got off the phone, and went back to chatting with my mate. I wasn't that worried, I'd only lost my pushbike, that was pretty much stuffed anyway, and I was going to buy a new one.

We chatted for ages, and then sat and watched "Lock, Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels".

I called up my drummer mate, and arranged to go around to my guitarist mate's place, so my mate pillioned me over there on his bike.

I realised I hadn't been on a bike since before I went to court, months ago.

On the way, there were a couple of old farts driving really slow on the road, my mate blasted around them, and the old fart driving put his high beams on, so I gave him the finger.

Damn I miss riding.

I got to my mate's place, and went in, he was watching the end of "True Lies".

After that finished, we left, and got in the car, and drove to the service station around the corner.

My mate bought some smokes, I got some chips, because I hadn't eaten much all day.

We drove to Westfield at Tuggerah, and went in to the bottle shop, and I bought some grog.

We went to our drummer mate's place, and sat and drank, and watched some of "The Rutles".

We got a lift to the Doylo, and went in, and bought tickets to see the Led Zeppelin show.

Our drummer mate went to the loo, and my other mate and I went in to where the show was going to be.

We waited a while, and our other mate didn't turn up, so I went out to look for him. I played the pokies first, just putting a dollar through, and then I found him, wandering around looking for us, outside the concert area.

We went back in, and I got more chips from the vending machine.

The opening act came on, they did some stuff by The Offspring, and Blink 182 etc, I'm not a big fan of that stuff.

A while later, the Led Zeppelin cover band came on, and we watched the show, and got up for a dance.

I ended up having 9 drinks, and some more chips later on in the night.

Between every song, I was yelling "Ramble On!", and eventually they actually played it, last.

After they went off, I went over to the stage, and I pinched the set list, and a sheet with the verses of Stairway to Heaven listed on it.

(I just looked at the setlist, and Ramble On isn't on it).

We waited around, and the guys from the band came back on stage. We saw the guy who was Robert Plant, he came over, and we had a chat.

We went out, and I saw there were posters for the even in the foyer. I asked the chick on the desk when they usually take them out, and she asked someone else, and he said to just give me one.

She opened up the frame, and took the poster out, and then some Leb that was hanging around grabbed it.

I asked him what the deal was, and then a bouncer came over, and he must have seen me ask for the poster etc, because he told the Leb to give it to me.

He did, but there was another one, so the chick went to get that one for him I assume.

I went back in, the Robert Plant guy was hanging around near the mixing desk, I got him to sign the poster for me.

I thanked him, and then we left. A guy that my mate's work with at Target turned up, he's a bit of a designated driver.

He drove us over to Wyong Leagues Club, and we went to go in.

The others went in, and the guy on the door asked me for some ID. I showed him my NSW license, since it's the only ID I've got now, and he looked at it, and then said it was expired.

Yeah, so? I asked him if he didn't think the photo looked like me, and that I didn't look over 18 anyway, but he said he wouldn't let me in.

I didn't really care, I didn't want to go in there anyway.

My mates eventually worked out that I was still outside, and came back towards me, and I explained that I couldn't get in.

We all left, and went back to the car. The guy drove us back towards our drummer mate's place, we went to the servo on the way, and I got yet more chips.

We went back to our drummer mate's place, and jumped out of the car. I wanted to give the guy who'd driven us back some money.

He wouldn't take the $30 that I offered him (less than a taxi would have been), eventually he said he take $10, so I gave him that, and then I flicked the $20 at him as I shut the door anyway.

We went in, and out into the back room of the house, and we watched rage, it was pretty crap, so my mate went and got his Rutles DVD, and we watched that.

I ate my chips, and then we watched Spinal Tap, and I kept falling asleep through it, eventually that finished, and we all went to sleep about 3am.
