Special mention to Vanessa and Kathryn, who came along to Kiss my Grass. Such cool chicks, smart and funny and very cute, I consider myself very lucky to have them both as friends.

Kiss My Grass

Shot Kiss My Grass again this year, such a great party, and all local talent, lists of Djs as long as your arm. Special mention goes to Sam McEwin and Matt Radovich, playing some great Techno while Mat woudl saye 'Fucking Techno' repeatedly into the mike. It's now become a bit of a cult saying.

A bunch of crew hit up the Footscray Cemetery to try and hunt down a potential ghost. Needless to say, we didn't find it, but we managed to get some good shots anyway.

The commissars of 140 once again provide tractor-loads of tunes to the proletariat.

Fishy

Another visit to the aquarium, this time with Kathryn and Brett. I think there are parts of this place I could visit every day. I wish it was free, i'd eat my lunch there in the big tank toom, or in the jellyfish room.

Once again new years day was spent at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl for summadayze. Now this event usually comes under a lot of criticism, but I think too many people expect too much from it. It's just a really big party.
The people who come along and expect to hear the latest and 'coolest' music will be disappointed, because frankly, those tracks don't play well to 24,000 people. What does play well are the big and beefy popular hits that you can hear on every dance floor all over town, the tracks that we've all heard before, but still can bring a smile to your face, and when you get that happening with twenty thousand people, it can be pretty special.
Of course there's the usual amount of idiots and wankers, but there's also a large number of good people and that's worth it for me.
