Monday morning after a big weekend. We flew to Brisbane for the Nicstar Christmas party on Friday night. They had a full stage set up for jamming into the early hours. We all had a ball drinking & playing (pulled out a few old songs from the first album, Rob on bass…).

Foo Fighters at Carrara Stadium (Dave Grohl out on the platform to the right).

Hangovers on the mend, Rob & Nic took us down to the Gold Coast on Saturday night for the Foo Fighters at Carrara football stadium. The Fooies were fantastic – the full blown rock show, Dave Grohl running back and forth along a 70 metre catwalk stretching out into the vast crowd. It was a thoroughly engaging set, one of the best live shows I’ve seen for a long time.

Tenacious D opened proceedings. Jack Black & Kyle Gass were totally hillarous, as you’d expect – complete with mock band break-up & make-up live on stage. Still laughing about it…

By yesterday morning we were spent, up at 6am to catch a flight back to Melbourne.

That was a great weekend.

Checkya tomorrow,
Fires out.
