Had to dig this up just to comment on the statement that it’s too cold for the beach. Wrong, wrong, wrong. While I did wimp out on swimming for once, the sun was shining and it was possible to walk around without scarf and beanie and to enjoy totally uncrowded sand. Perfect for those who hate groups of any kind.
And Los Chavos are playing at Honkytonks tonight which should make for a cracking night.
The Neo is playing @ The Front this afternoon from 3:30:
From The Canberra Times:
At the Royal Military College, Duntroon for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee this weekend.

The CMC presents…
Speaking of the Crime and Misconduct Commission, I’ll be hosting a free music festival sponsored by the ACT Police. They will supply provisions from their evidence stores for the event…
(I’m joking of course, but wouldn’t it be nice?)
Just to be clear the tweed ride on Monday is the hottest ticket for the weekend closely followed by Cuddlefish at the Phoenix on Saturday.
