Why I've become afraid to go camping.

Is it really a good idea to take Rambo of all people with you when camping? Didn't he flip out and kill a whole bunch of people last time he went camping?

"Black Friday in Black" Party Photos Finally Up

Okay, enough with the questions. I've been busy, okay? Click HERE and quit complaining. Regular blogging will resume shortly. Promise.

Spikey Tee at Lotus.

While Spikey was in town, putting the finishing touches on his album (which is starting to sound dope, by the way), he played a set at Lotus. Clearly, I was there.

Will Post Again Soon

I've been maaaad busy of late. I swear, there will be party pictures and a full report up here soon. As will other updates of my activities. However, at the moment I am in the midst of writing a treatment for a film and it keeps getting longer and time keeps getting shorter...
(The picture relates to the script, as well as the sensation I'm experiencing while writing it.)

More Prom Party Pictures Up

After a hell of a lot of fuss, including wiped memory cards; corrupted files; huuuuge emails and several upload stalls, I can finally direct you over here to see Deanne's pictures from the Prom Party.

All over

The end of another Womadelaide. Once Salif Keita had finished, I made my way over to see Mad Professor's DJ set. Once his last record stopped spinning, I made my way to my car. Exhausted. Elated. Done.

Watching the parade with Ruth

I spent most of the day with Ruth and her mother, cruising around and watching performers. However, I turn my back on them for just one minute and they almost get crushed by the parade and it comes rushing through. I pity the people who's rugs and bags got trampled by the surging parade.

"History of the Blues" at Womadelaide

Part of Sunday's events at Womad included a workshop out at the Speaker's Corner that showed how strong the influence of the blues is throughout world music. Fascinating stuff. Clearly I wasn't alone in thinking so - this was one of the best attended of the workshops I've ever seen.

At night two of Mr Scruff

Word had gotten out about how good Mr Scruff was. The whole area was packed out, so we settled back in the Chai tent and watched the crowd throb.

Flex and I watching Bill Cobham

Womadelaide kicked on with the amazing drummer Bill Cobham. Brilliant as he was, after twenty minutes of drum soloing, we'd had enough.

Light Flowers

One of the stalls is dedicated to these rather cool little fairy lights that have been floralised. I'd buy some if I didn't already have so many funky party lights.

Womad Lamp Tree

One of the cool little details at Womadelaide is this tree full of lamp shades.
