I arrived home at 6:30 PM tonight, earlier than most nights and started cooking dinner. About 5 minutes into it, Phill arrived home with Cassie and easily persuaded me to head out to see Cassie's friend's band play at Spanish Club on Johnson St in Fitzroy (close to Brunswick St that I was raving about this weekend). Cassie's hair set the tone for the evening! She's a wild one. The band was fabulous. The guy in the leather jacket on the right, Matt Walker, is actually rather well known around Australia but the music community is pretty tight knit and he's helping out some friends with this up and coming band. It was singer/songwriter poetic soulful rock-ish music - hard to describe but very enjoyable. The bar scene was very chill with lots of curved seat benches. We met a bunch of Cassie's friends - Lisa, Sean, Peter, and some of the band members. Phill and I kept clinking glasses throughout the night, saying "cheers to us, we deserve it", I suppose because we both worked today. Is that reason enough? Actually though, I had a nice lunch out today with a lunch special including a coke or glass of wine. The guy who ordered before me ordered red wine... you know, when in Australia, do as the Australians do.
