Flipped Out, Sydney

If you saw my drunken ass in Sydney over the weekend, you'd know i had big fun. To anyone i chased, hassled, fought, kissed or took photos of, you're all total dudes. It was a good time and fast approaching is Flip Out in Melbourne at The Corner Hotel. If i scammed beer or ciggarettes out of anyone, hit me up this saturday. I took over 1000 photos throughout the weekend. For me, The Ooga Boogas at Flip Out and Teen Archer at the afterparty at Oxford Arts Factory were my favourite sets. Also James Arthurs Manhunt, really wish i could have stayed in Sydney one more night to see them, Pink Reason and Carborator.

This is a bunch of photos i took from thursday to sunday. Thank you's to Emilyrose, Nathan and Jez for their hospitality and friendship. Lukus for driving us to the airport. Also Jimi's mum for a fantastic lunch today.

Click on the photos to see them big.

Reading material for the plane.



My buddy DREWFUNK has a show on in Sydney at the moment, if you can- check it out at Oh Really Gallery. Cool space, it's out on Enmore road. I went to the opening and then to this bar on Oxford St called Ching-A-Lings. If you don't have anything nice to say (about Ching-A-Lings), don't say anything at all. basically.





Headed to Repressed Records before it shut. Got some nice records.



Back to Newtown, records and goon in the early morn.



Friday was spent drinking beers at the Clare and buying records at Egg and Utopia. Friday night was the Pink Reason Show at Dirty Shirlows then James Arthurs Manhunt at Louies, i actually slept there. It was great, however the daytime drinking and seeing ma friendo's from Melbourne arrive made me giggly. How sick were BED WETTIN' BAD BOYS. I love my shirt. Thanks to Joey Suck It for writing on it, and then drawing a dick on my chest. What a buddy.
