April antics... the minor celebrity action continues...!

.... mainly because the Comedy Festival is in town for the whole month. So I've been taking full advantage of this and seeing as many comics as possible. The minor celebrity action contines, as after an all night drinking session, I randomly bump into Danny Bhoy at Riverland, having breakfast with his mate and starting what seemed to be an all day drinking session as some other comics rocked up later. Its funny that you never really know what to say to comedians in real life. Danny Bhoy certainly wasn't impressed when Emma and I asked him to pose for his picture with one of his flyers (which I just happened to have in my bag by some fluke!)

I also saw Phil Nicol in a show called "The Naked Racist". One word of warning, please do not EVER book tickets to see this show if you have a low tolerance to middle aged full on nudity in your face. I was disturbed for days after. Ed Byrne and Adam Hills have been the favs so far with their shows. Well worth a look.

Spent the long Easter weekend doing a mini-tour of Victoria! ROAD TRIP ALERT! It was such a top weekend which started off at Kyeton races about 2 hours north of Melbourne, sipping champers in the sun loosing money as my horses were absolutley cr@p! I'll learn the hard way! Its funny how so much stuff in Mel is gambling related! The crew had rented a massive big house in Woodend and we had a bbq that night followed by drinking games, resulting in a few laughs and sore heads the next day! Check it out - well posh!

On Easter Sunday, we went down to the Great Ocean Road to check out the surfing competition at Bells Beach. The only problem was that there were no waves! Seriously. It got shifted down the coast, but was too far to really drive out there, so we went to the best beer garden in the world watching the sunset and playing footie!



Another one bites the dust as Adam left on his travels to Thailand and Scotland - we did manage to send him off in style, firstly down at Mornington where there were scooter racing into the little hours of the night (and on a school night!), and then in the city in Young and Jacksons bar who have a top live band!



And I'm settling well into my new pad - just round the corner from the best restaurants and I have a new local for the winter time with rooftop beer garden which is perfect for those sunny Sunday arvo's!!!
