Steve and I went to the opening night of Jazz:Now in The Studio at the Opera House last night. ‘Twas pretty cool, too! First band was a little strange, and I wasn’t a massive fan, but I think I would’ve liked them a lot more in a different (smaller) venue, such as The Excelsior! They were all experimental-like, and their music was very minimalist at times. Pretty much, they didn’t suit The Studio, which was a shame, for them and for us (I did get a laugh out of the guy doing raspberries for like 10 minutes though =P). I did very much like the bass player though, it was really cool.

The second band, on the other hand, suited the studio really well, and I really enjoyed it! It was pretty big, and loud, and jazzy and stuff, with lots of saxophones and trombones and trumpets and an electric guitar and a double bass (awesome!) and a piano, all of which were very cool. Steve looked at me funny when I mentioned it, but there was a composition in there that had a couple of tiny bits which made me think “OMG SUFJAN!!” but maybe I just love Sufjan so much that I can see bits of him in anything. It made me like it a lot though!

I was out for a long time yesterday (9:30am – 11:30pm), and for some reason or another Jack (my flatmate) got wondering where I was and called me to make sure I hadn’t been abducted/kidnapped/arrested/shot, or ran off with a random girl or something. None of which actually happened, by the way, but it was nice of him to wonder! Hehe. Either that or he just wanted to borrow something…

Heading up to Urunga to see Mum and Cal Sunday morning, and was planning to head home with them, but that probably won’t be the case, as I wasn’t able to get all of next week off work – have to be back here to work on Thursday and Friday. Ah well, I’ll still get to catch up with Mum and Cal, so it’ll be hella worthwhile anyway.

Which means… I am totally flat-out until Saturday next week! (with a bit of a break this Saturday during the day). Well, at least I won’t be bored =P
