Gold Coast was HUGE.

Huge crowd. huge vibe. huge line-up. huge guitars!

I just gotta say thanks to all the people that came down to the main stage so early to see us. you did us proud.

made sure I looked after myself the night before and got some sleep instead of staying up all night partying like I did last year (Huge hangover - Grinspoons fault) so when I woke up I was ready to just go, go, go!

Huge traffic jam. Karl ended up getting out and walking to the show. I couldn't be fucked so sat it out.

Hot as fuck when we arrived so hung out by the air conditioner until it was time to play.

played. watched, with disbelief, the size of the crowd bounce during "Bullitproof" (you guessed it - HUGE!) desroyed Tom's kick drum. loved every minute of it.

Living End played a blinder. awesome band. awesome people.

hung out with Troy from the Queens. he is a champion. the Vines guys were cool to.

can't wait 'til Sydney. can't get enough of the big crowd thing...
