northcote street festival
nah yeah, its been quite sometime since ive last written, but i haven’t felt like anyting prolific has happened, well i dont think i have written about anything prolific at all, well except about cooking. thats pretty big in my life right now. but anyways i went to the northcote high street festival on sunday. i think it was called high vibes music fest. it was really great. thousands of people roaming this cloased off street with all the pubs open with food and drinks and live music all over the place. beer gardens, a guy making a lighter sculpture on the sidewalk. that guy had 4 big sacks of different colored lighters that he had collected or given to or something. but a shitload of lighters. it was a pretty cool sculpture/picture. swirl of different colors. but the greatest thing was, we were standing there and one of his buddies brings him a beer and then was like, “hey you got a light?” it was pretty funny and the guy had to reach in his pocket and toss him one. and then there was this i dont know, 13 year old kid going at it on a didjerydu. he was pretty good too. and i definitly dont know how to spell that one. but i think you get the point. but we hung out in this beer garden out back on a bar/store. it was awesome. a tent with a dj, a grill with sausages and corn, beer taps, wine and bubbles, and almond trees, and a little fire in a trash can, and people dancing. it was great. the whole day was pretty grand, and you could not have asked for a better day, even if that was possible. sadly though, i didnt not have my camera, or well anything for that matter. it was stuck at roy’s and i was in richmond and then northcote, no phone. bad story. but anyways, it was a good time. maybe there will be a few more as the weather gets warmer. its getting pretty nice out though. today i think its in the 70’s pretty good. well im going to go outside, i cant look at this computer box anymore. hope your all doing well though.
