Fear Of Shorts (and little kids)

so today was an awesome day. me, steph and alex met up at Pacoe Station because were off to see Tripod!
we left the station on the 3:22 train and got off at Flinders St. we headed down Swanston St to the Arts Centre to buy our tickets even though we had over an hour. we walked past the big tent, cafe and bar set up outside and after going literally through a maze to get to the box office, we bought our tickets for $10. as we had about an hour to wait we went back to outside Flinders where we bought doughnuts and milkshakes. we went to sit and eat at Fed Square where we experienced the free and slightly amusing entertainment of a group of guys that were totally shitfaced :) one of them came and sat next to us. i have once again proven my amazing ability to attract drunk guys. at 4:30 we headed back and headed for the little girls room, where we almost crashed into Demi from So You Think You Can Dance. then we lined up outside the tent. it was here that we noticed all these families. steph had said it was family friendly but we didnt think this friendly. when we got inside we became aware of the horror that we were in.a tent full of toddlers and their parents >.< . luckily Tripod were on first. they sung "The Wheel", "Trees Get Chained To Hippies", "The Day When We Found That Body", "I'm Not Coping" and "Thursday". then their was an intermission. then out came the Casio brothers and Demi aka Demolition B-Girl. oh boy. the Casio Brothers were 2 white wannbe hip hoppers in white trackies prentending to be Swedish. we stayed for 2 songs then got the fuck out of there. they were singing crap about turn offur tv. after steph bought some merch we saw Gatesy. we went over to him and got some photos and had a chat. he was SO nice. we then went out of sight and sound and did the jump and scream.
twas overall a totally AWESOME day.
