Dirty Royal @ Splashy...Some Very Delayed Photos

So, I mentioned awhile back the Jason's band Dirty Royal was playing at Splashy this year.  Well, Splashy came and went and the show was super awesome.  In fact the whole night was awesome.  Anyway, I meant to post these photos from the show the week after Splashy but then you know, life, essays and stuff.  Better late than never right?  My proper camera died about 2 minutes in so I had to make do with my phone.  We were right up close to the stage and although I thought I got an awesome video of the second and last songs, it’s too distorted and full of background noises (aka me screaming enthusiastically) to be worth watching.

It’s been interesting to return to the band wife role – carrying guitar cases and holding cigarettes and assorted other things not wanted while on stage.  That said, watching Jason on stage has always been one of my very favourite things to do so I'm not complaining in the slightest:) There are some shows in the pipeline for the next few months and if you are in the Durban area, you should come and check them out.  In the meantime, go and check out their Facebook page to stay updated.

Happy (almost) Long Weekend!!

It's the Easter Weekend guys!!!  We are probably somewhere on our way to Splashy Fen right now because Jason's band Dirty Royal has a slot on the main stage tonight at 18:00.  If you are going to be there then you should definitely come and check them out!  In the meantime, I leave you with this super cool animated tribute to Marvel:

Only 14 More Sleeps

Happy March everyone!! We are officially in Ramfest month which means only 14 more sleeps until Rise Against.  I am resisting the urge to jump around and squeal uncontrollably.  Also in March?  One of my bestest bests Collette is getting married in 8 sleeps...Hooray!  And Jason's band Dirty Royal play Splashy Fen on the 28th of March.  So much to look forward to:)

Hope you all have a super cool weekend!

Currently...loving collars, reading a ton, packing up

Watching:  Sound City.  This is Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters directorial debut which tells the story of the Sound City recording studio in Los Angeles.  If you love music, I highly recommend this.  Watch the blog in the next week or two because I am planning a longer post about this one!

Thinking About:  The passage of time and moving on.  My mom and dad are moving out of my childhood home in the next three weeks.  Yesterday I spent the afternoon there going through a few boxes I left behind when I moved.  I never expected to get so emotional about all this but looking through all those old toys and old memories and realizing that this time it's for real was a little hard.  I am excited that they are moving into a new time in their lives but I am really, really going to miss that house.

Reading:  Too many things.  This week I have had to get used to the idea of reading academic texts again.  What a mission!  I had totally forgot how complex and time-consuming they can be.  I'm hoping I will be back into the swing of things soon because I still have the set books to tackle.  Send help!

Looking forward to:  My friend Collette's wedding, Rise Against (as per usual), Jason's band Dirty Royal making their Splashy debut and going back to gym this week!  I never thought I would say this but I have missed gym the last two and a half weeks.

Making me happy:  Having some willpower and seeing results!  I have been on a diet the last little while to try and undo the damage from too much partying in December/January.  Also making me happy?  The fact that my mind is already being challenged at varsity, my Woe Anchor shirt in the post, surprise dinners with Jason, good friends who make me laugh, Rolo's daily quest for toast and the fact that my Dad gave me his framed Normadie picture.  Thanks Dad!
