    It was a simpler time! I remember my housemate had came home from a night out and I convinced her to stay up and queue for last release Big Day Out tickets at 6am. I think she regretted it once she got there but she ended up getting a ticket and we all had an awesome time so - worth it in the end! Pretty sure it was when Beastie Boys were headlining.

      Oooh, I remembered another one. I went and saw Tool (at Festival Hall I think), then went straight to a formal-ish house party/dinner party afterwards in swanky multi level place in East Melbourne. I stank, my shirt was ripped, I had one shoe on, and I couldn’t hear a thing so was talking really loud apparently. I was not a hit at the party.

      That was a great show. I saw some incredible bands at BDO - White Stripes, Beasties, Franz Ferdinand, Polyphonic Spree, the Hives, Evermore, Eskimo Joe, Sleater-Kinney, the Grates…good times.

        The Grates! I once met the leader singer (Patience?) at Ding Dong Lounge in the toilet. I was drunkedly looking for something on the ground and she came up to me and was like “I don’t know what it is you are looking for but I really hope you find it one day…” That has always stuck with me.
