I should point out, I'm from a country town, being in the city is weird for me. I tend to walk around with my head up, looking at all the high buildings. They're pretty cool for me, to look at. But when you think about it, they aren't very practical. 
A) I'd hate to be a bird. Flying and dodging would just be a pain.
B) Pretty signs or Billboards. Now they are planted on every building. This is really not practical. No one can read them while walking around. You'd look up at a sign as you're walking but you end up walking into people. If anythng that would mke you annoyed at the billboard and more or less, you'd be angry at the advertising. So you won't buy that product.

Advertisers need to re-think their strategies. 



Mr. Gamble is a very funny man. 

It's cold. Very cold. And our winter uniform doesn't help stop coldness, we need to make a new uniform. Enough said.

ARJ BARKER

It all began on a nice spring night on November, 2006. The 8th to be quite precise...

Xave and I went to see Arj! He was great. His support act was Joel Ozborn. Joel is really cool and looks like a young Frank Woodley! Joel did his GYM! routine which is so funny and he also did a joke about fooling people in cars beside you while on the highway. It's priceless, I'm gonna try it one day!
Arj came on, he was awesoome, all of his jokes were new. Some of which he said that you see frozen people in the mountains and they should freeze in a really cool postition instead of a boring position. (He had his own version of a "sweet" pose)
He also did a joke about Steve Irwin's death and stingrays. I forget how it goes but something about stingrays eating freshly cut bread (you have to see the show to understand it)
Other stuff he did, was the Discovery Channel telling people how to defeat America's military system -
"You cut this wire here and place explosives in there. We'll b back with more things civillians shouldn't know"
Also about the news giving out ideas to terrorists -
"Since 9/11 hit, airforce security is at an all state high. However, the states train security is at an all time low" 
He was great, absolutely fabulous.

After the show he had a signing, I bought his DVD

ARJ: "You're supposed to take the thing out before coming to me (meaning the DVD cover slip in the DVD case) Anyways, what's your name?"
CLAIRE: " Claire"
ARJ: "Claire???"
CLAIRE: "Yeah, C..L..A..I..R..E"
ARJ: " Oh yeah, Claire. Thanks for coming to the show Claire!"

Also, Mum didn't like the way he was chewing his gum.

We left after I got a pic with Arj! 

MORNING

It's gonna be a good day. TRIPOD IS TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!! And also Mark Watson and Zack Adams!

AFTERNOON

Eve's friend came around and brought he 5 year old son Marlin. He was cute as, he loved played twister even though we got tired, he kept wanting to play. We went out to a really cool chinese place for lunch. It was packed and seemed popular. We all had yum as meals. Alex and I revealed our inner asian and ate with chopsticks. Izzie on the other hand was lame and used a fork. 
After lunch we went to the markets just to get food for tea just before the market closed. 
We went back home and played twister again with Marlin, after we were sore and tired fom twister we got ready to go to our show.

NIGHT

The walk to Zack Adams was very long. We got there and the guy working there didn't know that there was a show on tonight so we just had to walk upstairs a see for ourselves. Yep, Zack Adams was there. We paid to get in but had to wait until we could go in. So we thought it would be a good chance to go to the toilet. THEY HAVE AWSOME TOILETS! Well they were kinda scary. We finally got to go in, the room was full of couches! How insane! I baggsed the big couch right up the front in the middle. I was gonna share it with others but no one sat there, so I spent the whole gig laying on the couch.
Zack said to me during the show "How many gigs can you go to and just be spruled across a couch?"
He was right. But it was fun. Zack's show was called "Awkward" and it was a very awkward show :D
He did a lively dance and he looked as if he was gonna jump on me, and I got scared. But he just jumped on the arm of the couch. Phew.
He told jokes about a depressed person with no dick and also he told us about his trip at the Fringe. Also, he told us about how he haulisenated about a bee on his neck and he ran into the flyscreen on his door.
After the show I bought every bit of his merch. I mean come on, it was only $20 for a dvd, cd and 3 badges :)
We got photos with Zack, I got a hug :D And Izzie bet him in a thumb war :) 
ALSO! I met Steph! Hoorah! She came to see Zack Adams! She sat behind me during the gig. And MADE me strip off just so she could see my Tripod top :P

Then, we went home and ate tea in about 15mins. The left for the Forum Theatre :D
The Forum Theatre is amazing. It's so awsome. We got there at about 8.12 and Mark Watson's show was starting at 8.15. Except for the fact that his show was running incredabley late. So we sat and waited. I was standing up and Alex was sitting down and she just gasped all of a sudden. And I was like, "What?" and she pointed and Mark Watson just walked past to go backstage. So we thought that he'd be getting the show started soon. Then about 10mins later he walked past again and I stood up and said to him 

C: "Hang on, how did you come past us again? Didn't you just walk past us? How did you get past us without us noticing?" 
MW: "I'm magic"
C: "Oh cool. Are you busy? Can we get photos with you now than after the show because we have to go straight away and see Tripod"
MW: "Yeah sure! I'll be out after the show anyway if you wanted to see me"
C: "Yeah we gotta get straight away to Tripod!!"

Then we got our photos, it was dark so we had to take a million photos until we got good ones of each of us with Mark. He was very friendly and we knew he was in a rush but he stayed to get photos which was nice of him. We then went over to Alex's family to tell them that Mark wasjust talking to us and just as I said "Yeah and it would be funny if he comes back again :P" Then I turned around and he was just walking past. And he heard me :) So he winked at me but kept walking. 

His show was so geat! He started the show off as people were still coming in because he said it was ridiculous that it was so far behind time. He spoke a lot about London and trains. And his habit of commentating people on the streets. "And his missed it!" He also told us about having almost the same lunch as someone else :P And if it was the same, his wife would let him have sex with her.
After the show he was selling his book that isn't available over here in Australia. I got one and he signed it for me. As I brought it over to him he said "What's your name? I didn't get a chance to ask you before the show" So he remembered us! YAY!

NOW.....

TTTTTTTTTTRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDD

Oh God I was so excited. We like ran down the stairs and into the theatre. Showed a guy our ticket and he lead us to our seats. We watched the support act, well the end of the support act coz we were late in. The seats were really bad because we were row LL and they weren't on a slant what so ever. The support act was a fat girl on drums and a weird guy wearing make-up on guitar. They weren't funny at all. All I wanted to see was Tripod. They finished their last song and then we heard Gatesy's voice.
"Please thank *insert gay support act*. Now we are going to have a short break and come back with me and 2 other guys"
We got excited. Tripod. were. next. OH MY GOD! I got so excited I needed to pee. So we went to the toilet, yeah we thought we were pretty cool in our matching Tripod tops. Hell yeah. Well we came back and the show was about to start. On came dramatic music. I was litterally on the edge of my seat, a) so I could see better and b) because well I was so excited to see Tripod. So dramatic musc, then came on Yonny's side a big green eyes icon appeared, then Scod's blue glasses appeared on his side and then in the middle was a big red sponge like thing? Then dramatic music ended with a smokey stage and TRIPOD appeared. First Yon in a sailor sort of outfit, then Scod came out with a mexican bull figher's outfit and then Gatesy in just normal clothes. 

They started off critising Gatesy for not checking his emails subjecting, we are going to try make an effort this year. And so he was picked on for not trying.
THE WHEEL
Then Gatesy was going on about his icon being a brain so he's the brains of the group
IT'S OKAY
Scod and Yon said Gatesy's icon was a sponge because his hair was spongey like soft pubes. They picked out an audience member to touch his soft pubes. Yon and Scod were both touching Gatesy's hair at one point :D
HOT GIRL
Gatesy was still going on about his icon and said is that the only thing you guys could think of? A sponge? He said he could be a sponge because he soaks up all information. There were some suggestions from the audience saying his icon was a tumour, popcorn or a potato.
I COULD LEARN THAT
I've never heard that song before but God it was awsome.
DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS
A guy left at this stage to go to the bar. They boys did their "I like to think we shit on the toilet routine" and asked the man to buy them a drink. Someone else in the crowd offered to buy them a drink too. 
AIR GUITAR
After this song, Scod make a hand movement for a rodie to come and put his guitar away for him. Gatesy then said who is that guy? And Scod said it was his personal guitar guy. Gatesy wanted one and Scod then said "Well if you had've responded to your emails subjected Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: We are going to try make an effort this year, you would've known"
ANCESTORS
I love this song!! After it Gatesy asked why Scod needs a guitar guy and Scod said he was the lead guitarist so he needs one. Gatesy said well you saying that you're the lead guitarist is like saying Yon is the lead singer. Scod and Yon looked at each other and said "Yeah I'm happy with that". Yon then made a hand movement and on came a guy carrying his trumpet. That made Gatesy even more jealous.
CLIMATE CHANGE
Yonny on the trumpet! YAY!
SEA SHANTY
I grab a bucket! Then I fuck it. That was the last song of their first set. They said to get a drink, go to the toilet and be back in about 20mins for the next half.

They came back and Gatesy came out dressed in a weird white space kind of outfit with computer inserts on his outfit. Gatesy and Yon came back in just normal clothes this time. Gatesy was Computo-man. Just as he said where he got the computer inserts from, he said the light booth upstairs. Right on cue the TRIPOD lights went out. Gatesy had to complete the circuit to keep the lights running, by holding onto the TRIPOD sign. He had to take off his costume so he could keep the lights up and perform.
ASHES TO ASHES
SPACE ODDITY
In this they had an astronaught guy, this was he guy that works with Kristen Schaal. I think his name is Kurt. 
THE KID COULD PLAY
Oh Gatesy and Yon were picking on Scod's guitar skills. I cheered loudly for him though :)
KEMPT
Poor Yonny! His girlfriend has been cheating on him with her ex! And in this song we find out what Scod thinks of Gatesy, he says he's a ct.
HOT DOG MAN
Gatesy ran into the audience after Scod and Yon are turning the Hot Dog Man into a monster. He came in and sat about 4 rows ahead of me :D
There was a mention of merch available out in the foryer. And Yonny said thi was the last song :(
THURSDAY
What an awsome song to end the show! It was even more awsome coz it was a Thursday!! Scod looked really sexy dancing while playing the guitar! It was sad that the show was over. But we kept clapping for an encore! And on came a keyboard! They're coming back!
QUEEN
I've never heard this song but it's really awsome. Scod was playing keyboards which he looked really hot doing. Scod's personal guitar guy came on and did a really awsome guitar solo with Gatesy. It was so awsome an a great way to finish the show!
Before they left the stage, Alex, Izzie and I jumped up and gave them a standing ovation. They saw us and pointed at us while onstage before they left :D YAY! 

Well the show ended so we waited a bit until people left and I ran upto the stage and got a full setlist for me and a half a setlist for Alex. Izzie went up and got herself half a setlist too. Then we left and went to the foyer to see TRIPOD! I went over to the merch table thinking they would only have cds but they had new tops and posters!! So I got a poster and a yellow visor king top! Then I went over to the stairs and sat until there was gap at the signings table. Took my poster, canvas bag, SIAH 1 & 2, Perfectly Good Songs, Self Saucing, my ticket and my setlist.

Before I got my stuff signed and we were still standing on the steps near where Gatesy was signing we were asking him if he'd give Izzie a thumb war. He had a confused look on his face but he said yes. 
G: "A thumb war?"
C: "Yeah she's been thumb war-ing other comedians too"
G: "Oh okay"
C: "You might want to get ready, you know bit of hand movement exercises. Thumb push ups"
G: "I'll be ready!"

Then when it was all clear I went to the signing table.... 
C: "This is my canvas bag, designed and made in textiles"
Gatesy: "Oh really"
Alex: "She was very anal about it as well"
C: "Yes if anyone went near my canvas bag!"
A: "I got water on it once"
G: "Ahhaha"
(I handed over my setlist to Gatesy)
G: "Oh hang on! How do we know what we're gonna play tomorrow?"
C: "Well they let me take it"
(Gatesy now spots that he is being filmed on my camera, the rest of his conversation was at the camera)
G: "Hello!"
C: "This is Gatesy signing my Tripod goodness"
G: "Yeah this is facts! This is true! This is not docked in anyway. This is real life"
(I had over Self Saucing)
G: "This is a fine album"
(He just handed it to me as if it was the last one. I handed him another cd)
G: "Oh wow! Got more"
C: "One left!"
(Hand over SIAH 1)
G: "Wow! This is my favourite. Ummm Goodbye Little Alarm Clock, my favourite"

I then moved along to Yon who had already started signing all my stuff. He basically finished and I shovd my massive pile to Scod.

(Everytime Scod signs a cd he blows on it so the signature doesn't get smudged. How cute)
Scod: "Is this everything? Is this your stuff is it?"
C: "Yep!"
S: "Well thanks for coming!"
C: "Yeah we were unsure if e were goin to get in with the whole you have to have your parent thing."
S: "Well these ones are all ages"
(There is more talking but because Scod was far away from the cameraI can't make out what he's saying)
(I then got my canvas bag ready for Scod to sign but I realised Yonny hadn't signed it)
C: "Oh Yonny didn't sign this. This is my Tripod canvas bag!"
Y: "Oh wow, Scod look at this. With the writing in the letters"
S: "Oh now thats cute!"
C: "I pretty much failed textiles but made that!"
S: "(laughs) Oh okay!!"
Alex: "She didn't do what she was supposed to do, but she made that"
S: "So is this all your stuff done?"
C: "Pretty much, yeah. Oh Scod can I have a heart on my canvas bag because I have a heart from you on my top :)"
S: "Sure!"
C: "Also, can I see your tattoo?"
S: "Yep, yep certainately"
(Pulls of his jacket from his shoulder and pulls up the sleeve of his top to reveal his tattoo!)
S: "It's a heart and it's got my wife's name"
C: "Aww, thats so cute. So how is your wife and baby?"
S: "Awsome, yeah awsome. Not fussy."
(He said something about females but I can't hear it on my camera)

Then I walked away from the signing table and back over to where Alex's family was. Just after they were finished signing, I got quick photos. I hugged Scod, Gatesy and Yon though they were in it too so they posed. Then I grabbed Yonny. Then finally Gatesy. Yonny was the funnest to hug :) 
I think I grabbed Scod too tight because he looks like he is trying to get air in the photo.

We quickly grabbed Gatesy for Izzie's thumb war but he started before we got the camera happening. We just got the end on film but that's okay. Gatesy bet Izzie and walked off saying "It's over! I won. It's all over!"
 
THE END!!!!!
AWW WHAT A WAY TO FINISH THE FESTIVAL!

GATESY


YONNY


SCODDY!!


MARK WATSON!


MARK WATSON AGAIN!

 
ZACK ADAMS!

MORNING

Frank and Wil's show was so great. Jeff Green and Jason Byrne tonight :D  TRIPOD TOMORROW

AFTERNOON

Today Alex and I woke up and went  walking around the city of Melbourne in our PJ's. Yes that's right folks, we. are. weird. But come one, we were so bored. Plus no one knows us! So we went around just talking to randoms. We managed to tell a guy our whole life story! Oh and we found a place that looks like Black Books :) It was awsome, it looks like it from the outside and it's even a second hand book shop!!
We then went shopping later. Well Izzie went shopping later. Me and Alex tagged along and made random movies. Alex and I were very fasinated by the different chairs in Myer. We filmed them all. And the weirdhorse thing. We filmd that too. We desperately had to go to the supermarket on the way home coz we ran out of PODS! 
We went home and played twister, which ended me with a very sore bacl.

NIGHT

JEFF GREEN! We left half an hour before his show so we could get awsome seats. Which we did! We got front row shmack bang in the middle! We asked a girl who worked their before the show if we could meet Jeff and she said she'd ask him after the show to say hi and get photos. We were excited about that. 
His show was so awsome and very classy! He also had a deaf interpreter too, which was something that I've never seen at a comedy gig. He also pointed out in the gig that I was wearing "flip flops". Just a random comment. Awsome show!
Afterwards we stuck around to meet him, he was very very nice! He said he was happy that we stuck around and wanted to meet him and he was more than happy to give Izzie a thumb war! Except he didn't know ho to do a thumb war! So Izzie had to teach him. It was loads of fun tosee him trying to remember the words! Izzie bet him! We all got photos with Jeff and had to leave. 

We walked out of Melbourne Town Hall and we saw...
- Joel Ozborn (we had a chat to him)
- Cal Wilson
- Dave Callan
- Tommy Dean
- Corrine Grant
- Claire Hooper
- Zack Adams (we had a chat to him too)
- Elbowskin

Then off to Jason we went.....

I HAVE NEVER LAUGHED SO HARD IN MY LIFE! He was amazing. All the material is new, I've never seen such a talented comedian. He was so funny and had everyone with tears down their faces. He talked a lot to the front row, th filing man, thejogger who barracks for Richmond and the guy who works in the kitchen serving food to the people who see animals. Riddle me this Jason. 
He did his river dancing routine as shown on the Gala, which he made the jogger guy who goes for Richmond put tape around his ars to hold them down. By the look on his face, getting the tape off hurt. He also did this weird puppet thing. It was all funny.
We wanted to stick around and meet Jason after the show but a gu told us that he doesn't come out and meet fans. Although we saw Arj Barker instead.  

JEFF GREEN!

After a grueling whole hour we finally made our Idio Clip. Took us a while to get used to the camera, although Leah was a natural. We all look like silly heads, but it was loads of fun. A few arguments but it's turned out great. It's all in the hands of my older brother to edit it and make us look awsome. I would love to be a finalist, not for the money but just for the fact that Tripod have picked us!! Plus we get to be on screen!

Leah - Hippy
Demi - Yon
Alex - Gatesy
Me - Scod
Izzie - Camera man

















And that's just some of it :D

Trying to suss out my Idio clip :)  It'll just involve a lot of trees, hippys and girl Tripod! Me as Scod of course! :D 
I'll post pictures.....


TREES

The trees are dying.
I'd hate to be a tree in this new century.
The trees are crying.
I'd hate to have whats down to a tree done to me.

Cause they cut them down, and turn them into wood.
They rape entire forests for the corporate good.
A billion awful things are done trees.
But worst of all (Worst of all)
Trees get chained to hippies.
Trees get chained to hippies.
(Free the trees!)
I'd rather have a squirell store his nuts in me.
Help! I'm chained up to a hippie!
(Free the trees)
Smokin' dope right near me!
(Free the trees)
Not a friendly Annie(?)
(Free the trees)
Playin' Bongo's badly.

Whoa-whoa-whoa!

Oh, If I fall in the forest, noones gonna hear me but these fuckin' hippies.
You know, I'd rather be a table. I think I'd rather be woodchips, I'd rather be ciggarette papers thats for sure.
Uh, yeah, uh, yeah come on. Free the trees, free the trees, free the trees.
I've made my point quite clearly.
Am I laboring it now?

Crappest day at work so far. Totally sucked! Not looking forward to going today either. Bleh, I wanna stay home and film with my new video camera :D

Old news.... meeting Tripod. Enjoy!

The Tripod show started at 8.30 but we wanted to get front row so we left early. EXTREMLY early. So early that even Tripod were trying to get us out of the place because we were so early.

We got to Trades Hall at about 6.50 to be precise and asked where Tripod were performing. They were upstairs, so up the stairs we went. When we got upstairs there were heaps of people and I got worried that we weren't gonna get front row!! So we asked a guy where they would be preforming. He said down the hall through that door. We saw the door. It was deserted. We turned back around as soon as we heard "hey guys" from..... GATESY! But at the time we were so shocked that we just stood there saying nothing.  He then walked off. And then it just clicked to us that that man was infact GATESY! And we basically just screamed. As soon as we screamed the worker guys is like "SHHHH" and he tried to calm us down coz there were other shows on. And of course GATESY! came back. We had a bit of chat....

G! - "Why are you guys so early?"
Us - "Coz we wanted front row" (little bit of a laugh)
G! - (Laugh) "You's are really early. There is a bar down stairs why don't ya's go for a drink? No one comes this early"
Us - "But we really want to make sure we are front row!"

(At this time Alex was like crying from laughter and excitement that it was actually GATESY!)

So we had a photo with him and then he liked our tops and then he had to go and have a 'meeting' with the boys and discuss the show. Which basically means 'have a drink with the boys and briefly talk about the show'

So we went and sat next to the door. Eve (Alex's mum) went to the bar for a drink. We were all shaking and pissing ourselves at Gatesy saying "You's are really early!" I was shaking so much and Alex was still crying lol. And Clare basically couldn't give a shit lol. But she was laughing at us being so starstruck.

And then  at about 7.30 Scod came down the hall to put his guitars in the room. I swear to God I just froze! I was like OMG! That is Scod!

Scod - "Hi guys! Wow your really early!"

We explained yet again that we wanted front row! When he turned around I swear I was about to poke him to see if it was really him! He had to get back to their 'meeting' so he didn't stay for long. We then thought Tripod minus Gatesy + Scod = Yon. So we waited for Yonny but he didn't come.

We are still shaking at this point! Then a rodie guy came out and said
Rodie - "Wow your early. Why don't you go to the bar?"
Us - "We wanna make sure we are front row!"
Rodie -  "Why don't you go into the bar and have a drink with them?"
We thought, well they would think we are stalkers!

Then Eve came back from the bar. I said "Did you see the boys?" She said "Yeah they are having a drink in the bar go and have a look"
So we went donw the hall and went to the balcony thing. And I saw them through the window. And said "Omg Alex there they are" We both stood there shocked. And Clare said "Look a house!" When then pissed off incase they saw us looking at them.

We then waited some more. And some people came to form a line and there were 3 girls wearing Tripod tops. But we had their co-ordinating colours and we had white ones so Tripod could sign them. So clearly our tops were cooler. It was nearly time to go in and everytime someone open the door. Alex and my hearts missed a beat! Finally the doors opened. We went in and got front row! Right in front of Scod! I was stressing because I wasn't sure if that was where Scod would stand or not. But he was there.

The show was AWSOME!
The entrance was great!
Groovy lights + Scod and Gatesy playing the keyboard + Yon playing 2 notes + All their heads bopping at the same time  = Mega Awsome Entrance.
Instruments include, Keyboards, Guitars, Bass, KAZOO!, Trumpet plus many more...
Of course the first joke they said was towards us seeing them on Tightarse Tuesday. - "Because you got in cheaper, we're only going to show you 85% of the show"
Yon's pictogram on Ted and Wilma was hilarious that they got.. ADDICTED TO HERION. How will we stop them? I know by getting... ADDICTED TO HERION. It worked but now we are.. ADDICTED TO HERION and they are not. So they decide to get... ADDICTED TO HERION. So now we arent .. ADDICTED TO HEROIN. How will this loop break? Go and see Tripod!
The roleplay of the comedy fight = Genius (Wow wee)
Yon playing the Trumpet = What I have always wanted to see
Eye contact while they were all on stage =
Scod singing like a girl = Scod
Gatesy in a blonde wig + full body suit thing = Sexy
The sailor song = hilarious
What does your money buy? = Well, soap, house, nice suit
Gatesy sweating after the second song = Normal
Scod pretending to be an old man = Fumbling with the blanket and at the last minute fiddling with his glasses to they go to the bottom of his nose.
The whole show = Best day of my life!

But then after the show....

We walked out and went to the bar, where they were selling Tripod mech and the boys were signing. Clare and Alex went and got their tops signed while I went and brought the Tosswinkle dvd. Once I had that I walked over and got all my other mech from Alex's bag. So I walked off to Gatesy with my hands full of stuff for him to sign. He signed them all but couldn't get the dvd cover sheet thing back into the dvd cover so he left it out. T'was pretty funny. Then as he was signing my top I was shaking and dropped my Scod glasses so I turned around to ask Alex to pick them up. Then Gatesy said "Stop moving!" I laughed and said "Sorry" And we had a bit of a chat with him.

Gatesy - "Are you coming to Idio Clips this Friday? Too late for you?"
Us - "No we will be home by then"
Gatesy - "Ohh where are you from?"
Us - "Bendigo."
Gatesy - "Ohh cool!"

Then I went to get Scod to sign my stuff. But he was talking to some guy. And then another guy came up and got his one dvd signed. I turned to Alex and went "Gahhh!" And Scod heard me! And turned around and said "Ohh Sorry" I didnt't mean for him to hear me!!!! But he signed all my stuff and I turned around as he was signing one of my dvds. And when I turned back he was blowing on it?? I had no idea why he was doing that. But I then realised coz I have Scod's fingerprint on my dvd cover sheet thing! He must have checked to see if it was dry and left his fingerprint there. So he was blowing on it to dry it.
Then I got my top signed by him. He looked at it and said "Yay team Scod!" (he drew a heart on mine!!!)

Then off to Yonny I went with my mech to get signed. As he was signing my stuff we had a photo taken so he put my stuff down and then after the photo he signed the rest. I said thanks and then we left to go. But before we went I wanted to get a photo just me and Scod. So I got my photo with him and after the photo was taken this happened...

Scod - "You're shaking"
Me - "Yeah (laugh) Thats coz you guys are awsome"
Scod - (laugh)
Then I got a hug from him!! nawwww

And before we left Gatesy walked over to us and Alex asked for a hug and I asked for one too. So we both got hugs!!!

Then as we were about to walk out of Trades, I just realised I didn't get Yonny to sign my top!!!! So I raced upstairs and ran into Scod. (Litterally)

Scod - "Hi"
Me - "Omg! Scod where is Yonny? I didn't get him to sign my top!!!"
Scod - "Down the hall, he should be out in a minute."

So down the hall I waited and Gatesy came over.

Gatesy - "Hi"
Me - "Gatesy! Where is Yon? I didn't get him to sign my top!"
Gatesy - (laughs) "Ohh no (laughs) He will be out in a minute"

So we waited and then Gatesy came back out all packed up ready to go. But still no sign of Yonny.

Gatesy - "He hasn't come out yet?"
Me - "Nope"
Gatesy - "Umm..."

Gatesy walked over to a door which lead inside the thearte place where they performed.

Gatesy - (Yells) "YON?"
Me - (Yelling beside him) "Can you please come out?"

There was no reply from Yon. Gatesy said sorry and then he was going to leave and Alex asked for another hug.

Alex - "Can I have another hug?"
Gatesy - "Aww agian?" (They hug)

Then Gatesy left. Alex got sick of waiting so she left too. It was just me waiting in the hall for Yon. Then Yon came out with a puzzled look on his face.

Yon - "Umm hi?"
Me - "Omg I left and forgot to get you to sign my top!"
Yon - "Ahh ok. You got a texta?"
Me - "Yup" (handed over the texta)
Yon - "There you go. Good effort with the tops!"
Me - "Yeah they rock. Cya!"
Yon - "Bye!"

Then I left. We were on a Tripod high when we got back to the place we were staying. We couldn't sleep.

Then... (I know what your thinking. Can this get anymore exciting?? Trust me it can!)

We went back to Trades Wednesday night to see Scott Edgar and the Universe. (Scod's other band) Thats right, Alex and I are proud of this lol. We were in the middle of Melbourne 12.00 at night, in a smokey bar!
Anyways, we walked in and the guy that worked there remembered us from the Tripod gig and said.
Guy - "Ahh your back! What can I do for you?"
Me - "Do you know where Scott Edgar and the Universe are playing?
Guy - "You tell me?"
(My heart stopped! I was like OMG WHAT???)
Guy - "Only kidding! They are in the bar."

So we went in and saw SCOD! and GATESY! Gatesy came and said Hi. And Scod was too busy drinking before he started. When they were about to start Alex and I went up in front of Scod and sat on the ground right in front of him. He must have thought we were weird but all the tables were full. They played 'Incidentally' which I know all the words for that song. So I was singing along. And Scod kept looking at me during that song lol. We only stayed for 4 songs because Clare sick. But we saw them!!!

Yeah that was it. Awsome huh??


Oh and that's us with them!
 

Wow like 19 days til this years comedy festival. :S I don't have tickest yet.



Hopefully I'll be seeing these 3 guys. *fingers crossed*
I suggest if your over 18, you can get into the venue, go see them! They're the best.
