It was an amazing night! Some of the support bands wernt too good, like Unearth and I Killed The Prom Queen, but were still good warmup (I bumped into the guys from 'Prom Queen afterwards at the merch booth, friendly bunch of blokes!).
Then the main attraction: Lamb Of God. Fuck it was brutal, an absolutly incredible experience. They sound awesome live, and the pits were just crazy, all part of a great show. The Imfamous 'Wall Of Death' was there as well: Got right up in the frontline and charged in...absolute chaos...and got kicked in the face by some screamo kid. I thought I broke my jaw again, but thankfully it was just bruised. 11 years wait for these guys to come to our shores, and it was well worth it!
Killswitch Engage wasnt to bad either, except theyre guitarist is a complete wanker!
If I went deaf after that night, Id still be smiling
In other news...
ARGH! Im trying to apply for a Graphic Design course for TAFE next year, and theyve completely fucked up the portfolio requirements! Ok, it clearly states on the TAFE NSW site: '...Your portfolio should consist of 6 works of multiple medias, with 3 of certain TAFE NSW guidelines...'
WELL, Iev called up to find out what they were, and guess what...they dont even wanna see a portfolio of work, instead they gave me some 'poster design' thing to do instead...WHAT THE FUCK?! The pricks wont even allow me to use a computer to design it either! What the fuck am I ment to do now?
So Im kinda screwed for applying in time...
Oh, I forgot to mention...
Im no longer working at that shit-hole Telemarketing place anymore! Im currently on a 3 month contract with a company who do Customer Service contracting with the Federal Government...so essentially im a temporary Government Employee...w00t! Thing is, I cant tell anyone who I work for, or the campaign Im on, or I could be sacked, sued or even thrown in jail...kinda high pressure, but I think these precations are just a tad too much...
Im pissed off I havent had any time to do anything Photography-wise in ages...anything art-wise in that case! But Im hoping soon to be able to team up with a few mates and go on a shoot. Iev already promised Id do something with ~crippleplaything, and me and my good mate Chris have been planning to do something for over a year now...perhaps soon might be nice.
And an odd question to finish...
Im contemplating learning how to play the Bass. Ie: purchasing one towards the end of the year. Its been something that has been playing on my mind most of the year now (probebly after seeing Mudvayne and watching Ryan play...go figure). But im a bit 'um and ar'ing about it. Any advice to make my mind up would help things!
Well anyway, I gotta bail off to work. Take care of yourselves!

as for graphic design. you'll realise (if its anything like SA) that the complete first year has almost nothing to do with computers!!!!

You're standing in my doorway seven cities ago, The days are racing, but you come back too slow. You're the finest thing I've ever done. The hurricane I can't outrun. I could wait around for the dust to still, But I don't believe it ever will.
that tafe thing is weird, if you need any help, give me a yell. Im sure I can come up with something. you could always make it on the computer and then copy it with pincils and whatever?
Base huh? no idea
I know how you feel about the art, Ive only been doing my major artwork for uni and its starting to become just another assignment instead of soemthing exciting. I really love it, but its due in one week and i havnt even done half. plus work has put me on for 21 hours next week. Not a happy chappy.
Im complaining to them on saturday and if they dont do anything im quitting.
I cant believe your almost like a secret agent
Good luck with all man.
I'm glad you had fun (?) at LOG.
You'll get into the tafe thing no worries anyway!
