    Last night went to Space Cowboy's show
    Was pretty good he swallowed swords and glowing neon light tubes down his throat
    was pretty interesting
    Not that I would do that myself!

    Also saw the amazing Rubber Man, some Russian lady doing 5 hoola hoops at once,
    Some other lady swallowing swords and some hot guy doing a water spashly/gymnastic
    act from his bath tub - lol

      You got an early start!

      I went to the opening parade and party tonight. Saw a busker with a sword-swallowing act - wonder if he was the same guy?

      Highlight of the night for me - Trippy didg! eMDee from the NT, a drums 'n' bass ensemble with a bank of didgeridoos droning the bass line. I'd go see 'em again!

      Saw some bands last nite

      Some punk band at one pub - they were pretty ordinary
      Then went up to Enigma and saw the Dead Bollocks
      They wear mexican wrestling masks throw lettuce and tomatos at the crowd
      The crowd chucks it back at them - lol
      Was a pretty crazy mosh pit
      Then the lead singer was sittin on a suspended toilet seat
      at one stage they brought out power tools and started attacking their equipment
      with them - sparks flying everywhere
      as dodgy as they were - it was actually pretty funny to watch
      They even brought out a rubber chicken and started bashing it
      People tryin' to skateboard and ride bmx bikes thru the mosh pit does not work - lol

        Yep - It's been pretty full-on week so far
        Happening so fast, I'm kinda goin' thru the stuff I've missed last few days

        Helped out with a Suspension on Saturday - thanx Space Cowboy
        ok there's a pic in profile of Paul hanging while the cops were kinda watching us
        after a few minutes they drove off

        I took this pic with my camera :)

        Also got more ink on my arm today
        yep - same arm been inking all year
        I think that was the last session on it 4 now

          It's still hot here,
          Hot day 37C, Hot night still in the 30's
          Last few weeks have been totally crazy but good
          I'm a little behind on my photos too
          gotta get them up to date in the next week or two

          Helped Space Cowboy build a new suspension rig
          for his show
          Tonite is his last night performing here for the Fringe
          It's been goin on for 3 weeks now - it's been great

          This weekend we got Womadelaide and Adelaide Festival of Arts on as well
          - so the city is kinda packed

          Started ink on my left forearm on wednesday
          It's finally startin' to fill up
          still probably got another 3-4 sessions on it to go

          More ink this wednesday - start inking my armpits
          that is gonna hurt

          my laptop has been playin up a little bit too
          - may have 2 take it in to get fixed
          that could leave me offline for a few days
          hope not - but I gotta wait til Tuesday to do that anyway

          Next weekend it's the Adelaide Clipsal 500 car race thru the city
          and there is a tattoo show on Saturday

          I need to go to both - but i'll probably go the tattoo show on saturday
          and car race on thursday, friday, sunday

          All depends on my pain and low energy levels too
          Thats been holding me back lots at crucial times
          Usually end up goin home to rest
          Instead of goin' out 2 party like I should be
