australia day

today is australia day and everybody has been going nuts since last night. Australians love to party. Many people walking around wearing the australian flag in many different forms. One guy was wearing it as a diaper, missed that photo op. The concert was CRAZY!! Didn't get to go backstage like we thought but we had this whole area to ourselves that surrounded the Hand. Everyonce in awhile some crazy aussie would try to breach the wall. Took lots of pics. The Lotus gals were really nice and we spent most of the day hanging back with them waiting to light the hand up. Saw the Killers, they were great. Saw the Vines, Jet and of course Tool..I know why they call themselves Tool now...they were such babies about the hand being lit off during their show. They refused to play until the fire show was over. Then they came back over and told the head lotus girl not to say anything about what babies they were being. Saw the violent femmes as well, they rocked. After the show we went to an after party at some crazy three story bar. The bathroom was something out of a james bond movie. Once I was done using the toilet this picture on the wall slid up and revealed the sink and then when I was done it slid back. What the??? Was my usual charming self and got free drinks for us all. Can't believe how expensive drinks were. Couldn't be sure whether there were rock stars there or not, everybod sort of looked like one. Rumors were that there were members of Muse and one guy from tool but I have no idea what they look like so... got home around 5 am. good times.
