Today has good opportunity for a bit of a break to work on getting our lives in order, which has been appreciated. [smile]

I was reminded that it was cup day in Melbourne when I went to Google AU and noticed the doodle for today. So this afternoon we looked at the field, and I scowered the internet for somewhere where we could watch the race. About half an hour before race time I found a site that worked, which was pretty sweet. So we tuned in at 9pm here (yes, it's somewhat weird to be watching the Melbourne Cup live after dark). There was excitement when Katie's horse was out in from for the entire race, and disappointment when it ended up running dead last. I had no luck either. I guess that winning streak I had a few years ago is absolutely over! [wink] At least neither of lost any money on it.

Due to watching the race we were a bit late to getting out to see Shelby tonight. We decided to drive down 5th street to get to Rula Bula, and passed Katie's old work and the housue down there that she always really liked. One a few doors dowm with the same Sante Fe style was for sale - HELLO! Surely it'll be quite expensive, but talk about location, location, location!

In any case, Shelby greeted us when we got to Rula Bula and said he'd saved his originals for when we got there, so that was pretty sweet. He took a lot of requests from us, did the cool as swing version of Scarlot Harlot again. Much like last month when we came out to his Monday night Rula Bula gig it was nice and laid back, and nice to be getting the stories behind his songs.

Really dark video of Scarlet Harlot. You actually can't see anything at all, but it's all about the music anyway, so...

I came across this while watching the footage from Frock N' Roll. Absolutely brilliant - you ever said you had to spend tens of thousands of dollars to make a music video?!? Apparently this one cost $20.

Strange Young Things are too cool...

My camera fell off the back of the seat while I was recording, so I lost the video I was taking of Get Your Fire For Free but here's some other video of Strange Young Things from last night thanks to Radio Phoenix...

Clearly we're not actually putting any on, but thanks to Google AU I remembered the race is on today. We've quickly looked at the horses, I'm going with Alcopops and Katie is going with Warringah. We'll see how it all turns out in a few hours.
