Rock 'n' Roll!!!!!!
Aug. 28th, 2006 11:19 amSaturday night, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
goth_prostitute turned 24, or at least celebrated it, with an 80's dress up party. What is it with you kids and the 80's??? I was there at the time, and they were crap!
All the same, it gave me the excuse to put together a bad 80's Big Hair Band rocker outfit. Converse shoes, ripped blue jeans, Def Leopard t-shirt, wrist sweat bands, shitty leather jacket, and of course long long brown hair. Also took along my bass, like I was off to Rock somewhere.
Why is it that when I get dressed up lately I invariable wear a wig??? What does this say about my relationship with my hair?
The best thing about dressing up is it's an excuse to go to Savers (or something like it). Sara and I went to the Uber-Savers on Sydney Road. Picked up, in order of most to least useful, some really good mid-sized plates from some defunct hotel - not quite saucers, not quite plates, just the right size for two pieces of toast. And some blue jeans, a couple of shitty vinyl leather-look jackets - very eighties. And an old retro telephone, the same shape as the old dial ones but with push buttons. With the great old handset. We drove around pretending to talk on it. I'm going to plug it in and use it!
The party was interesting, I finally metcherry_legend and also got to try on some of goth_prostitute's clothes. It's about time I had a party at my place.
Sunday morning I visited Hazel in Box Hill. I popped the wig on just to see her reaction. She got the fright of her life when she saw this strange man coming up her driveway!

Friday Night, evildoom_bunny and I had dinner with my friend Luna. Luna the half-Chinese goth from Rowville, although she now lives with her husband in... Must be South Caulfield. He was supposed to come along, but was too knackered from working long days. I've never let that stop me from going out :-)
We met at Hell's Kitchen, then attempted to get into Gaylord's Indian Restaurant. They didn't have a table, and the Shanghi dumpling place on the same lane was closed! So we dragged ourselves to the Japanese restaurant on Little Bourke thatevildoom_bunny and I are always hanging out in. The name of which I can never remember. Then we wandered off to find custard buns - yum! Carbs! - And finally ended up in Pellegrini's drinking "flavoured milk" as they call my Decaf Coffee.
It was really grand to see Luna. She's quite a batty little thing.

Evil Doom Blows Her Thing
Aug. 28th, 2006 12:21 pmSunday Afternoon, evildoom_bunny was in a concert with the Stonington Symphony Orchestra. They did Beethoven's fifth, amoungst other pieces - haven't got the program to hand.
evildoom_bunny is ever so talented and honks her thing good. The Fifth has a number of sections which are the effectively just the strings playing with the lead Bassoon. So evildoom_bunny got lots of little "solo" type sections. Did I mention she's terribly good?
The Stonington Symphony are one of the better local orchestras, and certainly accompanied evil doom well :-)
My friend Hazel, my dad, and evil doom's mom all came along. Which was kinda interesting, introducing my dad to evil doom's mom! He behaved himself, asked all sorts of chatty questions about raising a musician. One of his students was in the first violins - it's a small world.
We sat at the front of the balcony and waved like maniacs when evil doom appeared. She was suitably embarrassed.
The one part she wasn't in was a duet concerto for - ironically - bassoon and clarinet. The bassoonist was the lead from the MSO. I don't know, he didn't play loud enough in my opinion. Keeping in mind my opinion is completely biased :-) I'd never come across a duet concerto before, it was very interesting.
Anyway, enough. I sound like some kind of proud parent. Seriously, though, she's tbe best musician I've ever dated. Er, I mean, she's the only musician I've ever dated :-P She's the best musician I've known, that's for sure, and better than most of the members of that orchestra. All we need to do now is organise a professional career for her!
