So the temperature is starting to drop, I like this, nothing better than the cold winter air, and I am starting to feel its approach. I will elaborate more on the travel plans I have, which is essentially to work and travel at the same time, around the world, until I am fed up with it or find what I am looking for, and what am I looking for? That is anybody's guess, when I figure it out, I will let you know. All I know is I will keep submitting job applications until one says yes! Providing the cookie crumbles in my favour, should be heading to Queenstown, New Zealand this winter with my good friend Larissa. Where I shall get my first real taste of winter and snow, I have been to the Snowy Mountains here in Australia during the winter, but something tells me Queenstown is going to be much more... authentic? I have been there once before, during Christmas/New Years of 2007-8 and it was fantastic, so very keen to get back. Then the grand plan is Canada with Larissa at the end of the year once she finishes university, she has some relative who has a ski shop up there and hopefully we can get some work, or have some foothold in whatever the future may bring!

Not much else is new really, did a Barefoot gig for Goat Track Theatre Co on Thursday, great gig, great performances, even if a horn died the night before while I was setting up, no idea how or when, pretty over and unimpressed by Wharfedale to be honest, they seem to really lack the punch and clarity of others for the same price. Luckily I managed to get two AT (Acoustic Technologies) TH300XA full range cabs to do the job from Chatterbox. Great speakers, they pack a real punch, great sound quality, and currently my favourite brand of speakers for those not on million dollar budgets. Have used various AT products on gigs, and they haven't let us down yet.

Aparently my friend George is on his way down to the Gold Coast sometime soon, I am led to believe the rest of the family already are, and that he had to stay back to do some work. Be great to see that bloke again, tops guy, grew up with him so he is like a brother to me, and his family are like my second family. Still super keen to start mixing or getting involved in music more, want to learn sequencers real bad and just start making some tunes!
