Parklifey weekend

Just started back at work today after a long weekend, yesterday was a bank holiday or the Oz equivilant...We got Foxtel fitted on Sat so i can now keep up to date with the football.

I went to Parklife on Sunday (dance music festival in Sydney) It was a scorching day, really good setup and some cool acts highlight being http://www.myspace.com/thesounds really good live!! Knew it was going to be a good day when the Jim Beam i had at 11am went down lovely...I wore my 1980's Carterton Town football kit, with the shortest shorts you have ever seen!
There was a lot of people in pink vests trying to be a bit miami vice, also every half an hour you would see someone sprinting off followed by 3 security guards as they had jumped the wall. Everyone found this funny and would cheer the person on.
If you think about it, these people are the reason ticket prices have to be the cost they are. So i was secretly cheering on the security! "get them fair dodging scum".

We left just before the end so we could get back to Manly for the Rugby League Gran Final. Manly were playing The Storm (Melbourne / Sydney rivalry is massive) unfortunately Melbourne won, so Manly did not turn into the party town it could of. I managed to get into Shore Club (our local) still in the 1980s footy kit and proceeded to get my arse pinched by a few ladies, also worryingly a man as well hmmm.
I went onto the dancefloor and everyone visably took a step back as to say "what the hell is with this guy" then when i started to bust some moves and there saw i wasn't a mentalist (mainly cause Ryan joined me, and i then seemed socially exceptable) i was embrassed by the dancefloor elite.
We had been invited to a house party by the Sat night DJ "Kenny G" no not the dentist chair music mystro. Turns out he has a hot tub in his back garden...i was out of the footy kit in a flash and soaked away sipping Jim Beam in the hot tub for the rest of the night.
It has been Manly Jazz festival all weekend too, think i have heard about 15 renditions of bond themes over the whole weekend.
Final couple of things:

* Guy on beach playing music through his phone! GET SOME HEADPHONES!!
* Man walking down to get a coffee at 7am! JUST STAY IN BED THEN YOU WON'T NEED THE COFFEE.
