Aussie Day 7: Vampyre-X
So what do you do when you it's been a rather lackluster day?
Why you stroll around town until you find a free 'backpackers' lounge (read:cheap and dirty) where a punk band called Vampyre-X is playing a free show. I might not have entered had not the there been pictures of the band sporting bizarre skeleton costumes and face paint. All in all, not bad. The lead singer was the complete clone of a buddy back home (John Cloonan), so I enjoyed the show even more. It was like watching a friend have an out of body experience he didn't even know he was having.
I also met a dude named Stu who was selling CD's for his label called Straight Jacket Records. Of course, neither CD will actually play on my laptop cd player - so who knows what I bought. BUT at lease they were cheap damnit! Ok. You get what you pay for. Except when you buy a 'Travelers Meat Pie' from 7-11. Then you get a gift that just keeps on giving. and giving. and giving.
And I'm off to the 'cool handled' toilet.

An infant could have told you that a 'Travelers Meat Pie' from a 7-11 in Melbourne Australia was a trap from G.I.L.O.
Your worse than a randy Bugs Bunny chasing after a sexy robot bunny bomb.
Have I taught you NOTHING?

John "F**ckn" Cloonan!!!
ahahaha!!! he emailed me for the first time like in 2 years or so!!! I'm glad Suzy hasn't killed him yet... LOL
I was glad to hear from him, we should all get together some time soon to remember the good old times.
By the way, have a great time down under!
Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,
Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover.
