and drive

drive

These are some pictures from driving down the coast in Australia.

I went to the Gold Coast and hated it. so when a German girl named Kerin asked if I wanted to drive down the coast with her I jumped at the opportunity.

We drove through a bush fire.








Stoped at the ocean a lot.














Drove down a rout 1














Went swimming in Byron Bay














Yeah this beach is amazing.

Soooo.

I've been in Australia for a little over 2 months and I'm flying to LA in a couple of days. I have a TON of pictures that I have to upload. I've had a great time. I'm so stoked for the next time I come back.

update

After going to the gold coast... lame. I drove down the coast to Melbourne. I like it here. With in a couple of days I've found out about rad shows and am stoked.

pictures will come soon.

moving on

After a long weekend at the vinard picking grapes and drinking bottles of wine in the damn I'm heading to the Gold Coast.

It's been hot and lovely.

Guess who I get to see play later this month

Chicago I love you.... BUT NOT TODAY.

It was so hot today I went swimming twice. So happy I'm not in Chicago dealing with a blizzard.

First day in Australia

Fist day here and I saw a girl attacking a man with a crocodile.

OZ!!!!

So Chicago is about to get pounded by snow... And I've been swimming in the ocean every day. Austraila is beutiful. I arrived on Australia Day basically there 4th of July. The next day I went to The Big Day Out (a huge music festival). And since than I've been chillin swimming and drinking summer drinks. I've yet to have become the lobster girl. But am freckeling up like a monster. I hope to meet some people who are into the same music as me and get some sort of job but till than I'm stright chillin. Pictures soon when I figure that out from my phone.

Hope all is well.

So Cute

Septum????

I thought that my septum closed years ago... and much to my surprise yesterday I discovered that it hadn't.

Being that I dabble in making jewelry I made a ring.

Neurosis London

So I was Rome for a couple of days and on my way to Florence. Got onto the train and a guy walks into the car I was in wearing a Neurosis patch on his jacket. I comment on his patch, than he proceeded to sit next to me. We go onto to talk about music, tattoo art, and other points of interest.

After about an hour or so I suggest that we trade ipods. That went on 'till my iphone was nearly dead. He told me he was going to see a metal show in Bologna. So being that I was traveling Italy alone without any game plan I went as well.

I proceeded to spend the next couple of days being hosted by Italian's who had may of the same interest as me. We went to shows, drank, ate, and had a good time.

Long and the short of it I found out that Neurosis was going to play London. So I booked a flight without having a ticket to the show, and went.

These are some of the pictures from that show.

So by meeting a dude by chance on the train out of Rome, I ended up going to London to see a band that rules.

Oh Henry.

I listened to a lot of Black Flag today.

I am a huge fan of his spoken word.

Lets be real total babe. He may not have a big beard but is still a total dream boat.

Summer

I MISS SUMMER!!!

In less than a month I am going to Australia, and get to hangout with the dude next to me in this picture.

It will be most excellent. (sorry I've been watching Bill and Ted all day.)

Looking forward to doing this in Oz.

Oldie but a Goodie

Couple of days after I got a black eye years back. Got popped pretty good at a hardcore show.

My land-boat

I need to get into the garage and work on the blue beast. I fucking love this car but it has allot of work that needs to be done. I want her on the streets in the spring.

New to me.

As of October 17th I have changed my mental attitude about what life is about. I have been traveling the country, world learning and living. I am currently at home (Chicago) for the next month. Than I'm off to Oz.
