Day 1 - Report Day & Rock Park

I woke up this morning not even realising that we were getting our reports today. All I was thinking about was how great it was having a double free first thing in the day. Man that was good. Good, like only having 9 units to worry about now. 

Then on the train it hit me. I didn't need the report to tell me that I dropped ranks in every subject. That I totally dropped the ball and was pretty far from my target of >90 ATAR. But then I remembered all those cliche thoughts about how an HSC syllabus isn't a measure of intelligence and how an ATAR doesn't define a person, listened to Disruption by Spit Syndicate and rocked up to my interview and was pleasantly surprised to find that my estimate is 84.5-89. And the best thing - its just an estimate.

BUT MORE TO THE POINT - Rock park!

Fort Street's very own shining beacon of hope and relief in times of English periods. I feel as if that guy's changed as much as we have during the years. Before it was was just a simple Rock in a Park, now there's all this fancy 'pavement' and 'gates'. And I'm pretty sure that once upon a time there wasn't any play equipment at all. Then there was some pretty cool things like monkey bars and spinpods. Now there's just a bunch of other lame things that I won't even talk about cause they're lame.

Nobody goes there much anymore, that has to change. Me, Alex, Daisy, Jana and Jess went down today and I can only beg for you guys to follow suit. Here's a cool photo!

Okay, so I haven't done this before, but if you're digging this post give me some feedback, plaase! And while we're at it let's get some audience interaction in this bitch - tell me your fondest memory of Rock Park. Or if you're from another school, tell me about your school's most convenient jigging spot (kguy)

Don't leave me hanging and looking like a fool here, c'monnnn guysssssssssss.

I cannot fucking wait til' post-trials


Fuck, watching this again, I really want to go to a concert right about now. Such a great night. Next concert...Spit Syndicate the night before trials begin. Anybody going? I'm considering it now, it'll be worth putting in the extra work beforehand I reckon.

Either way, there's Phatchance on the Friday after trials finish. Then Felix's 18th the next day. Fuck I'm excited! I'll be pumping this song nonstop right after my last exam.

Shit, before I get caught up in all this excitement maybe I should start studying hey. Laaaaaame.

Fort Street Represent

The wait is nearly over, just 1 more sleep until Fort Street Fest. I know i'm as geed for K-0ner as everyone else is but theres an inside word that Nick Lupi from Spit Syndicate and Adit and Nick BS from Horrorshow will be making an appearence. Also stick around for Triple J's Unearthed's Phatchance who will be performing from 3:40 onwards but get there early to check out the very talented Jae Moon and battle of the bands veterans Cradle of Faith.

Seriously what a year FSHS '05 was. I remember going to the end of Year IMP concerts every year since 2000 and watching the quality school bands with Fuji Collective involved and well as Nick BS on drums. Yep thats right Solo plays (or at least played) the drums and i'm guessing there is some influence of that on Horrorshows' 'The Grey Space' and 'Inside Story '.

I also remember Miriam Waks and Nick BS being the stage band singers (yeah there were singers in the stage-band once). I have seen Miriam's performances advertised in the paper and she has appeared on Spit Sydnicate, Phatchance and Coptic Soldier tracks. My dad used to always compare Nick's style and voice to Frank Sinatra and listening to Horrorshow I can see where he is coming from.
