Qld Multicultural Festival


So... it seems like such a long time ago now but I have been given the task to write about the Multicultural festival on Sunday. And seeing as they (Sair and Paul) have threatened that they won't feed me if I don't do it, here I am.


Sunday started off really early... actually that's an understatement. Paul wasn't joking when he posted that photo at 6am in Byron. After a lovely (but very expensive) breakfast, we piled in Mannie's van to head back to Brisbane. Mannie was looking much worse for wear at this point which was not good considering what we had ahead of us this week.


After a quick detour to Mannie's to pick up Cheryl (my much loved but much paid out little car), we headed off to Roma St Parklands. After a few attempts we found where we were supposed to be, and wandered off to the amphitheatre. What a beautiful stage! And overlooking the beautiful stage... was a beautiful bar. The boys wasted no time running (very athletically) up the hill for a quick drink before the gig.


Half an hour later, as the boys rolled back down the hill (really - they had races!), we got ready to go on stage. We were still quite worried about Sarah's voice but she once again managed to pull something out of her arse and delivered a great show. Special mention to Mannie who managed to remain standing (only just) despite a few staggers (due to illness not alcohol), but things are not looking good for the rest of the tour.


Thanks to Martin for videoing the whole concert, Mil for taking the photos , Charley for the comic relief and dancing in front of the stage, and to everyone else for showing up and supporting us as you always do.


More soon, its cider o'clock right now :)
