too much christmas cheer?

was a pretty special xmas having all the wernej clan back together. while it didn't really feel like xmas for souri due to the heat, it all was as i remembered.

the neighbourhood kids continued the tradition of lining the streets with candles so that santa could find the way. really is an amazing effect.

and i think that this shot totally sums up christmas 08. over indulging with food. zac having the time of his life... and getting more rather spoilt!

eddy current suppression ring - rockin without even trying

this was a rather eagerly anticipated gig as could be seen by the long queues snaking out of the excelsior.

while their music may be all 60s/70s rock n roll - the band appear to be anti rock-stars... no skinny jeans and checked shirts for these 4.

not the best venue in terms of lighting and sound - but gig was immense with the band bashing out track after track of SOLID ROCK N ROLL GOLD.

all the rest of the shots are over here

london for a day, tourist for a life time - site seeing in london

souri's grandfather came to visit us in london, and this along with our impending exit from london town made for the perfect excuse to be tourists for a day.

all the major sites were visited and we even shelled out many pounds to join the masses and ride one of the hop-on-hop-off tourist buses.

having seen many of these sites a number of times, it was lovely to sit back and actually enjoy them as a tourist in "my" london town.

on more than one occasion i did have another one of the spine tingling moments when it dawns on me that.... oh my god, i really am in london. even after all these years.

the whole site seeing set can be seen here on flickr.

where in the world is Perranporth - long weekend in Cornwall

4 females + 1 male + 1 caravan + dubious English "summer" weather + a very strange seaside town called Perranporth = a very very funny weekend.

i was a little unsure about spending a whole long weekend as the only male in a group of five intrepid travellers. while i probably did learn a few too many things about women, the weekend was no stop laughs.

the weather varied from brilliant sunshine to driving rain but cabin fever refused to set in.

Perranporth and what we saw of Newquay was rather eye opening and jaw-dropping in equal measures. It will take some time to get over the Nuts Magazine "Talent Search".

the whole set can be seen here on flickr.

black lips @ 100 club - does what it says in the tin

i think that there is more press about the black lips' on stage antics than is written on their actual music. london's famous 100 club was the perfect setting for them to show all the tricks that have taken up some much column space.

the bands psychedelic blues was well received by the masses and the 100 club quickly turned into a sweating swashbuckling mass.

things started to get a bit "black lip-ish" when the spit/catch game was played by cole alexander. and things got a whole lot more "black-lips-ish" when he pissed in his own mouth.
