Thankyou to the lovely Leisa and Jamie for having me over on Friday night. Leisa and I shared our trivia prize of champagne, and she made me a yummy laksa and then beat me in Buzz – but I loved every minute of it!
Another great night hosted by the Annandale (love you guys) with Ground Components and Dan Kelly. Ground Components rocked – again, but what is it with support band audiences? Is there an unwritten rule that you must stay at least 10 paces back from the stage when the support is on, only to crush forward for the main band? Is this to show allegiance to the main act? Is it to remind the support that they really are just that? Well I danced at the front, with our new friend Bek, cos Ground Components were fun. Didnt stay for Dantheman. Had to go and meet Sverker Berzerka.
I have failed in the past to mention Berzerka’s impressive facial hair, but he does it well
We missed seeing Nunchuka Superfly with him but caught a little Dreadnought. Then we awayed to Spectrum for a boogie cos it’s bin so long, with the promise that Berzerka would soon be there. It was his last night out before going back to Sweden after being here for the last year, and our first night out was spent there, so it was only fitting.
Then after much deliberation about who exactly he was, Patti recognised Robot Man aka Chris of the dakking incident (see July 12). And we went to Q and played ping pong – which I think is really hard when its dark and I’m under the influence of a little champagne!
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to me, Berzerka was downstairs and wanting to come in. He wasn’t allowed, and while waiting to see if I checked my phone, the bouncer seemed to take a distinct dislike to him. The bastard attacked Sverker from behind!
Poor Sverker has to be operated on for fractures (including his eye-socket!) tomorrow, and he’s not going home just yet.
What the fuck is wrong with these people?! What kind of drugs are they on? There was no hint of self-defense here. It was pure steroid/ice/dickhead induced violence! I just wanna know how well they sleep after a performance like that. It’s REALLY inexcusable. Berzerka is such a sweetheart, he shouldn’t have had this happen, and, yeah, I totally feel responsible cos he was coming to meet up with me, and I didn’t get his call. Fucking bouncer-shitheel.
Otherwise a fun night.
And. In case you were wondering. I’m into day 3 of having no voice (some say that’s a good thing – but tricky for a kindy teacher), and day 3 of having the Justus vs Simeon song on my brain!
