Day 3

This was the start of it all.6am fucking flights for the next 2 days. Well, happy enough that we're not traveling by road at least. We assembled at the lobby of our hotel at 3.30am for the trip to the airport. It was truly an art to see 6 half-dead idiots lugging baggage and our sorry arses into a maxi-cab.

The flight to Brisbane was about 2hrs(i think cuz all of us pretty much knocked out in the plane). We flew Virgin Blue which was pretty ok I think. The ride to the hotel from the airport was another 20-30mins and then yet again we were told that the check-in time was only at 2pm. But at least we managed to leave our stuff in a safe room so that we could roam around and kill time.

After Breakfast and countless cigaretts later, it was 2pm and we got some rest till about 7pm. The venue(one of the best we've ever played in so far) was called Rosies and it was just down the road.

We shared the stage that evening with 3 bands. High Plain Drifters, a stoner metal band, Bonesaw(Death metal) and a unique group,KlockBLock that payed homage to the cartoon Dethklock.

It was a truely amazing show with Brisbane at their best. This gig ranks as one of our favorite shows of all time. A big "fuck yeah" to everyone that banged their heads at Rosies that night. It was just awesome!!!!

After the show, Gene and I were treated to more beers by this Irish guy(thanks dude!!) and we ended up finally at the famous down under bar for more booze with another 3am wake-up looming in front of us.

More to come later...

Cheers
