Thursday 22nd: AURAL WINDOW gig
Aural Window played at the Arthouse on the 22nd, so I went like a good little friend-of-the-band and dragged my friend Tom along. It was so very awesome as always, and much beer was had, as well as the obligatory after-gig tequila shots xD
I got a lot of pictures, but here are my 5 favourites.
Sheena!
Aki!
Kota!
Mike!

Friday 23rd: MY ACTUAL B-DAY And Mach Pelican @ Espy
This is the day I actually turned 19. I decided that it'd be nice to celebrate by going to a gig, so I did. Aside from a few hiccups in the beginning (poor Dee! I wanted to hit that bastard with the billiard ball), It was soooo much fun. Aki, Sheena and Kota presented me with a necklace as a birthday present (Thank you guys! Its beautiful *_*), and I was surprised by 4 of my old high school mates showing up, one of which does NOT like punk, but made an effort for me <3, and a phone call from a Paul who's in Perth at the moment.
The bands playing that I was there to see were The Havenots and Mach Pelican. SO MUCH WIN.
I didnt get home from the city til 8.30AM.
Nice one, Trent! But its a punk gig. (I lied, there's really 5 old school friends.)
Joy and I.
THE HAVENOTS
MACH PELICAN
Either Tomoki or Kota blew ciggy smoke at the same time as I took the photo.. I love this effect :)
The Crowd.. Lyndon should stop being an emo kid.
AND AT 8.30am, AFTER NO SLEEP WHATSOEVER:
Saturday 24th: Dinner at Wagamama & Drinks at Robot
ON Saturday, we went to Wagamama, a Japanese restaurant in QV. I was pleased with the turnout (both there and at Robot!), and dinner was so very tasty. Will surprised me by bringing along JJ, who was armed with a camera. It was a wonderful dinner. My favourite present was the tee from Nick that said, "Flesh-eating zombies ruined my birthday!" Well, in a way they did, except that they weren't flesh-eating zombies... but I'm not going over that again. >_>
At Robot, we managed to fill the entire top section AND get Miki and Lia in. Masa and Ushiwaka brought Masaki, Fumi, Ryu and a few others along, and Sheena, Aki and Kota got Mike, their drummer, along, and Aki brought another friend. Most of the people I invited came along too. It was great seeing so many people I cared about... we all had to squish up to fit, but we DID IT!
Oh, and Drew and Aidan hooked up, as well as Nick and Jo. GLAD I COULD BE OF ASSISTANCE. :P
Oh, Drew.. You're such a cutie.
Heee.. So much love.
Miki's hair, Nick, Jo and Berenice.
I dont know WHAT that expression was.
Or this one.
Blaaaaaah! Hehe.
My fringe wrecks this photo.
The ever-excitable JJ and Louise.
Triss, #1 Sheena Fanboy, minus the fangs.
Apparently some of my friends envied me since I had cute boys at my birthday? Haha.
Ryu (centre) reminds me of a kitten.
Nick and I. His younger sister swears that he and I are a couple. FAR FROM TRUE.
BWHAHAHAHA! Nick and Jo, blinded by my flash.
Ryu and Kirsty. Dawww.
Y HALO THAR.
Aidan and Drew.. So ADORABLE.
Photos from the picnic coming soon! And possibly the rest of the Aural Window photos if I can be bothered uploading to photobucket, which is currently BEING A STUPID JERK.
But yes.
