Day 2

After a good night's rest, we hit the Victoria Market for some chow and a bit of shopping. It's at this point where we feel the full harshness of the Australian chill with all of us practically freezing out arses off. So after a couple of hours at the market, we headed back to prepare for the show later.

The great thing about this hotel we were put up was that the accommodation and venue/pub was on the same building. Thus there wasn't a hassle of having to travel.

At around 6pm, we decide to go for dinner/pre-show meal etc. Across the road, we saw an Indian joint and we decided that this is gonna hit the spot. Well, it hit more than a spot and we were fucking immobile.haha.

The show went off pretty well and we had a good chance to warm up for Brisbane and Adelaide. Even though the turnout wasn't that impressive due to the usual weeknight syndrome it was still a great show. What was entirely different for us was the fact that venues in Australia don't normally have an In-house equipment rider. Compared to back home here where everything is already set-up, bands usually bring in their own gear for shows. Nevertheless, we managed to borrow the necessities from our new friends in Humonic and the show kicked ass. Kudos to Lexie, Frankenbok, Humonic(especially for the gear) and The Ophidian Acsension. We certainly made a lot of friends that night(that homeless guy who was offering $2 for a cigarette). Good times!!

By 1am, we retired back to catch about 2 hrs of sleep before heading off on a 6am flight to Brisbane.More of that later.

Cheers everyone
