Wow! Arieh and I went to the Obese Records Block Party on Friday, with the following artists playing:

Hilltop Hoods
Bias B
Funkoars
Layla
Pegz
Muph & Plutonic
Hyjak n Torcha
Drapht
Reason
Jase
Art Of War
Brotha Black

I was looking forward to seeing the Hoods, Muph n Plutonic and Pegz, and also brotha black (he was great last time I saw him – with the Herd??) but wow! The rest were amazing! Art of War blew me away! Unfortunately I was having such a good time that each act blended into the other, and the only reference was which songs I was belting out the words to while I was dancing!

Arieh hooked up with a friend he had met in primary school & sandy, and later seen out heaps. We milled around outside for a while calming down and talking excitedly to other stangers who had loved the show, we were going to go back to Arieh’s mate’s place with his friends but we all got split up, so we then took a taxi back to our place, then onto Chapel St. at about 3am. After trying o’riellys (closing) we walked down the street and met up with young (22 – I’m so old at 23!) ‘Sparky’/Steve in a vest and his friend Joel. They were getting hassled by some idiots and Arieh and I decided to kidnap them. We all kept walking down to Revolver with no luck (members only!) so we invited them back to our place. Another taxi (so broke now!) and we hung out until 6am, drinking wine, talking about music & burning mp3 DVDs etc before Sparky had to go to work (meant to be there at 6am!). So we gave them a lift to Glen Eira (glen Huntly?) road.

Phew! Sometimes I feel like I’m getting to old for all this – or guilty but as the hoods say -

Then it’s all over, go home, go sleep
Wake up, get sober, what a great night!
