Not sure whether this is the sad part or not, but I didn't drink a drop last night. I drove to Brisbane, intended on watching maybe 2 bands and parts of the other 2, accidently dismiss them on purpose in favour of socialising then piss off home and being ready for bed at 2am like normal.

Instead I actually enjoyed all 4 bands and stayed to watch all of them. The gig finished earlier than expected so I stayed around to socialise. At around the time bands normally finish and we start thinking about moving on the venue shut, so 3 of my mates suggested we move to another pub, so we did. We did have some meaningful conversations which was nice since we don't normally have the time to do that in usual settings, then at 3am I drove one of them home on my way to my place.

Woke up at about lunch time.

Looks like I committed to 2 nights of partying Public transport to the venue is a bitch...looks like I'm driving again.

Can't you find a BOB (someone who's driving and thus staying sober)?

One of the ADVANTAGES of being sighted. I can NEVER drive, so I never have to be the BOB!

Somehow I'm still very pissed off... it sucks that this is ruining my mood for the party tonight -.-

There's nothing here but old people and trees. I could probably count on two hands the number of people in this entire city that I know of who are metal enough to go to Brisbane semi-regularly. The train doesn't even go as far as where I live. I can't go anywhere worth going on less than two buses.

Back in the day I'd find my own way in and then usually wait until someone offered me their bed/couch/floor to sleep on then go home the next day but I'm not really comfortable doing that anymore. In addition a good cab driver will get me home on an average fare of $75. So yeah most often it's not worth the trouble.

So yeah, it happened again. It was fun though I danced like a drunk and every second that I wasn't in deep conversation with a mate I had one of two other blokes "on my case" (if you catch my drift). Pretty sure that hasn't happened to me since Wacken 2010.
