pocket money punk party

wow, what an amazing weekend I've had!
I'm slightly delusional from the lack of sleep but I'm going to briefly describe the rad activities and post some pictures.
This post will be seriously picture heavy!

Ok first up, Friday I attended my lecture on Abstract Expressionism and Feminism. Really interesting and I'm sure I'll make another blog all about it when I delve into some of the artists we talked about during the Seminar. Afterwards I headed home in preparation for Pennie coming around.
Saturdays fun has been planned for a couple of weeks now, and we'd spent Thursday and Friday setting the basement up for some extreme noise.


Yes, we decided that on the 6th of March, we'd organise a gig in my basement.
My friends bands played which makes the whole thing even better!
Goodtime Boys and The Muscle Club.
We also spent those two days of setting up, praying that we wouldn't get shut down by either the crack-heads on the street or the police.




It was a pretty crazy experience. The basement isn't a huge space just decent enough for a lot of hot sweaty bodies to be crammed right up next to each other listening to some sweet music. I'm so shocked at how many good photos I actually managed to get considering I had to ram the camera between people's heads.




not entirely sure what I'm attempting to do with my face but whatever ha.



I'm really liking these photos. Well done me.
Yes, that is my friend Paul "crowd" surfing. It's kind of weird that this was in my house!

Muscle Club played afterwards but my camera battery died so I'm hoping other people got some shoots that I can pinch just for memory. We had the whole thing filmed so I'll try get that too!

We stayed up partying with everyone til about 5/6am. Yes. Really.
Most people left around that time so everyone hit the sack. I set up the bed/sofas for all the guys who needed a place to kip.

I also, woke at 9.08am. I needed to be in work at 9am. Mad rush, and they didn't notice. So now, naturally I'm incredibly tired!

Keep eyes peeled for basement show round 2.
