Musical events that I'm excited about

I'm glad that I waited 'till after lunch to write about the Blues and Roots Festival (5-9 April), because in the mean time they've released the second round of artist anouncements! Among others, I am excited about seeing Paul Kelly live for the first time. Paul is the slightly less famous uncle of Dan. Other people I'm hanging out to see are Ben Kweller, Rodrigo y Grabriella (again!!), Gomez, John Butler Trio, Eric Burden and the Animals, etc etc.

I have a five day ticket, so if other people want to come up for five days, or three days, or some other number of days, you should organise it soon. Apparently 5 and 3 day tickets are almost sold out. Get it sorted, people! If youse guys are interested, we can probably sort some accomodation out in Byron itself, so we can walk to Red Devil Park. Those with me last year may recall driving back to Lismore through floods, bone tired and jangly from all the speed balls, shouting at each other about Aboriginal cave drawings. Not as fun as it sounds.

I'd also like to mention that I'll almost certainly be in Sydney on June 20th. Why? Well, it may not be everyone's cup o' tea, but the PLAY! concert (sic annoying capitalisation) will be at the Sydney Opera House on that night. Yep, orchestrated video game music. This kind of thing very rarely comes to Australia, so I don't want to miss it. Scoff if you must, but if you seek understanding one could do worse than reading this article (nice web design skillz, too).

If anyone has thoughts, or wants to journey with me to these events, let me know.

PS: I've posted, Alice has posted, Julian's posted. Congrats! What about Kate, George and Jono? Pop that cherry!
