Banjo Jamboree

Hello, my name is Banjo. Welcome to my jamboree!

Photobucket

It all started back in Brunswick, where we loaded up Georgia's bug and hit the road to Guildford.

Photobucket

We made a quick detour to Georgia's photo show in Footscray. We hit the couch. Georgia is my mum.

Photobucket

This is my favourite photo in the exhibition. I was guarding it, before I was distracted by some shadows on the wall.

Photobucket

After a while, we hit the road again and put some k's under out belts. We stopped off at an op-shop at a little town. I had to wait outside.

Photobucket

They were gone for freakin' ages.

Photobucket

After a bit more driving, we finally made it to my jamboree!

Photobucket

Lots of our friends were there already. It's one hell of an occasion.

Photobucket

My friend Scout was there and we had a great play. We used to be sworn enemies actually, it was weird, we just hit it off this time.

Photobucket

Such a good scene.

Jamboree sunset. The best kind.

Ok, now I'm going to let Max talk again. I was tied to the bug most of the night anyway. Me being Banjo, not Max.

Photobucket

The barn dance was awesome! The band were killing it, and the pixie colonel guy had all the moves.

Photobucket

I'm a terrible dancer, but being told what to do made it a lot more fun.

Photobucket

After the barn dance, we headed over the road to the pub, where there was a bit of a jam happening.

Photobucket

The locals were friendly and in great form.

Photobucket

Riley and I went for a wander back to get beer from the car, I mean say hi to Banjo.

Saw this on the way:

Then headed back to the pub, where things were really kicking off.

Photobucket

A particular high point was a sing-song of Oh Yoko. Radiant living!

Photobucket

The pub had heaps of cool stuff like this on the walls.

Photobucket

A touch of street dancing on the way to the party at the church.

Photobucket

The church! The guy who used to live at our house lives here now.

Photobucket

Good fire!

Photobucket

But the kitchen was where the action was. DJ Maz.

Riley expressing the feel of the evening perfectly.

Georgia as Shane McGowan of the Pogues.

The next morning was rather painful. Riley was looking good though, even if Banjo had pissed on his tent twice.

Another joyous session with Scout rounded off the jamboree.

Photobucket

We stopped off at some sweet markets in Woodend.

Our collected bounty.

Photobucket

The drive home was suitably sedate.

It was a great jamboree. See you next year, Guildford!
