Summer night

It's been too hot. Mosquitoes bite my fingers at night and I hear strange noises outside that aren't really there. The days have been spent doing things quietly, writing and stopping and sucking on iceblocks. I went to an opening at Bret's gallery. It looked nice, but not many people had shown up because it was so hot.



Bret had his mind on other things, anyway. He cuts his own hair, in case you're wondering.



The Utopian Slumps opening down the road was more well attended, by the usual suspects. It was quite an impressive installation, complete with a floating bathtub periscope (shown here operated by the amazing Al), leading onto a wooden iceberg. I was hoping for an ice one, but this was interesting.



Looking forward to Tom's show there in March. He's quite the character.



I don't know what to say about Chris' shorts, but they were amazing!



We ended up at the fountain, where Marcelle regaled us with tales of Kanten Russell and him egging on Josh Kasper to skate down the stairs of random house switch doing a benihana on an ironing board. Amazing.



Jason was happy



We all ate mexican pizzas



I like Erin's shirt. She rode a BMX for the first time in years, which Chris hurt himself trying to wheelie on. Harder than it looks!



I like the pads on BMX's. But it's the ground you have to worry about.



Best spot in Melbourne.

Everybody knows this is nowhere

I chose the occasion of Kate Moss' opening to re-enter the world of blogging. Or it just so happened that that is what happened last night, the day after I charged the battery on my new camera. Not sure what happened to the last one.



It's unbearably hot and swampy at the moment. It was actually cooler up in the TCB gallery where Kate's work is. Definitely worth a look (her work is very oblique, or I just couldn't figure it out), and the other show by Quenton Miller is funny and honest, I like it.



It's nice to be back out and about.



At first, I thought Prior was referring to my bloggy's here, but he was actually talking girlfriends!



Afterwards, we rode to the park and listened as Neil Young played a concert only metres away.







Haven't quite figured out the focus on the new bloggy.
