2012-02-03T10:51:00.004+11:00

Steve Cross from Korpus Tattoo currently has a show on at Three Bags Full Cafe,
60 Nicholson St Abbotsford, Melbourne. (not far from Victoria and Hoddle streets.)

The show opened Monday 23rd January from and runs til 19th February.
It's well worth dropping in for a look.
"The exhibition includes a selection of framed original
micro drawings and some new large-scale raw canvas works.

The food and coffee is awesome also. (it's prolly my favourite Melb. breaky spot)
Keep away from it early on the weekends, as its a fucken madhouse.

KANYE WEST in MELBOURNE at the music bowl.

2012-02-01T15:41:00.003+11:00

Tuesday 31st January 2012.

Went to take some pics at the Kanye gig last night.
(which I'll post a link to soon enough)
Managed to get into the VIP after with the help of a good friend.

Whatever you think of Kanye, and if you think it's "real" hip-hop or not,
you can't deny that he gives it everything he's got.

Anyway, it was a pretty impressive show that I really enjoyed.
That's my rant. Now here's some pics. (from my s95)...

Tyler The Creator was down the front getin' loose. iPhones were up the back.

Aussie comedians Ryan Shelton and Chris Lilley were in attendance.
(maybe getting some tips for S. Mouse?)

Check out the "interesting" interview with Harold Mitchell over at INVURT.

Not sure how I feel about some of Harolds answers, but the bottom line is that it's
pretty hard to knock what's happening in that carpark, and he's heavily involved in making it happen.

I don't think Banksy has much on the large percentage of the artists involved, but,
thats just my opinion. Anyway, enough out of me, here's the pics...

Went and caught Thee Oh Sees at the Corner Hotel last Tuesday night,
it was the sold out and the last show in Australia of their AUS/NZ tour.
Support was the excellent Total Control. Who were just as good as TOhS.
Both bands are well worth checking out if you aren't familiar.

Jan 20-22, 2012.

I went with a mate to check out the annual Hot Rod show on saturday,
didn't go into the actual building, there was a massive line,
but the carpark out the front is where it's at I think anyway.
You get the feeling that most of these cars actually get driven
rather than put in a trailer and towed from show to show...

PART 2

We went to an old i-talian stylee restaurant on Port Arlington road, it was classic.
It would have been the place to have a "function" in the 70s/80s and nothing had changed
since then.

I think it was Les Misérables' turn on the 5 cd tray changer stereo.

The food wasn't amazing, but the decor made up for it. Perhaps as the waiter told us
(yes, that's him in the portrait) it was because Mama (his words not mine) had collapsed in
the heat the day before. Mama still made it into work the next day to make our prawn cocktail
and pasta though. Gold.

To fulfill Parsons' funeral wishes, Kaufman and a friend stole his body from the airport and in a borrowed hearse drove it to Joshua Tree where they attempted to cremate it by pouring five gallons of gasoline into the open coffin and throwing a lit match inside.

What resulted was an enormous fireball. Police chased them, but according to one account they "were unencumbered by sobriety" and the pair got away.

The two were arrested several days later. Since there was no law against stealing a dead body, they were only fined $750 for stealing the coffin and were not prosecuted for leaving 35 lbs of his charred remains in the desert.
