Boom Boom POW!

It felt really good to sleep in today. We made a quick trip to Fremantle so Heather could get some sunglasses she saw in Didgeridoo Breath. What a great little place to hang out. Later we hooked up with Sara and did some shopping for our hiking adventure. We needed some hiking socks, bags for our packs to travel safely on the airlines and anything else that we aren’t thinking we’ll need. IKEA! Yeah, we introduced Sara to the world of IKEA and that she really can get something awesome from this huge Swedish building. Back at the apartment we changed and headed off to see The Black Eyed Peas at the Burswood Dome. All walks of life were present in the queue for the doors to open. Normal people, old people, bushpeople, and interestingly enough teens who felt that they needed to dress to kill for this event. Skirts short enough to tell your religion and heels high enough to make any 15 year old girl 7 feet tall. Some looked reasonable, most looked ridiculous. The show opened with a crew from LA called LMFAO. I’d call them a glorified college party band. With song titles like: “I am not a whore” , “I’m in Miami Bitch”, and “Party People” you get the idea. I suppose any promoter could see that these two guys with their tiny dancer girl and goofy sidekick could appeal to anyone liking TBEP, but it’s a stretch..kind of. The Peas performed pretty much every song I’ve ever heard from them as well as all of Fergie’s solo efforts. The laser lights and effects weren’t bad and definitely gave their show here a real boost. I’d say for me the limit of the show’s appeal was the jazz band sequence with a button mashing trumpet solo from the keytar player. Go ahead and read that last part again. All in all a great show and a good night.

Movie Night

Went to see Couples Retreat with Heather and Sara. It was a decent movie I suppose. I am definitely a huge fan of anything Vince Vaugn does with Jon Favreau. This is no Swingers or Made but its right up there with The Break Up as being a decent film worth your time.

Wake up in the late afternoon.

Other than Heather working for a bit, its been a Lazy Sunday here in Perth.

Orchestra

Went to see the London Philharmonic Orchestra. An absolutely wonderful concert to say the least. My only comment is that the French Horns stole the show for me. Good grief they were so good. I suppose the conductor was all right as well as the entire ensemble, but my money was on the Horns.
