The FAT Website est. 1999
It’s been a pretty hectic week. On the weekend there was the Christmas work party at Iceworks. It was a chance to celebrate the end of the year with my old work team.
Then I had a day to recover from a rather brutal hangover before heading down to Melbourne to give a 2010 presentation to my new work colleagues. It was also a chance for some poker and beer when we were done.
After a few drinks, the hotel elevator was pretty tricky to navigate.
Then I had to fly back to Brisbane in time to catch a Green Day concert with Jen and Dom.
While waiting in line to get some water, I started talking to a girl who was wearing a Kerplunk shirt. She stood out since almost everyone else there was wearing identical American Idiot or 21st Century Breakdown tour shirts. I asked if she saw the band play during the Nineties. She looked at me and said ‘are you kidding? I was born in 93’
I felt old 🙁
Greenday! Awesome. I saw them in 2004 at a festival in Nuremburg and it was amazing – the best concert I had seen until Coldplay this year.
This was the American Idiot tour and they played a lot of the album plus favourites from Kerplunk and Insomiac.
How did you find the show apart from the Water cooler incident?
On another note – why at every work party do you seem to be all over the women?
Green Day were fantastic live. Great audience participation and a terrific stage presence. Also, like the show you went to, they tend to get the new stuff out of the way pretty quick and still play a lot of the older songs too.
Erm – this is about you not me….
