Lunch with Charlie
Been invited to lunch with Charlie McMahon (I know, I know), so decided to spend the morning mooching around the city centre. Took the monorail to the Queen Victoria Building. Never mind the shops, look at the architecture... Found Woolworths. Why is that so exciting, I hear you ask? Because it's a completely different shop in Australia. It's a supermarket, and a rather nice one at that. More importantly, it sells gluten free bread. In Sydney it even sells it in the fresh bread section, and in different varieties.
Then off to lunch with Charlie & family, who live in an unassuming and rather lovely little victorian house in Balmain. Regaled with a demo of the Didgeribone, wot he invented, and his seismic didge gadget. With a couple of delay pedals, you can produce some pretty stunning effects, and without the need for the rest of the band. Well, I liked it. Of course, I had to buy a didgeribone - it would have been rude not to, and anyway, it'll be useful for travelling. Erin quite likes it too. Caught bus back to the apartment and started packing.
