Smosh – Sex Ed Rocks 4:28

Went to Whangarei for a family re-union, which was alright, I took Sarah and Sadie to Kelly Tarltons for the first time ever, which was just as cool as I remembered – a must see attraction for a visit to Auckland.

Riki took us all on a Tiki Tour of Northland, Several Waterfalls (on in which Riki was going to cannonball off of) later we headed to Whale Bay, The place is fucking magic! Mustive swam around there for two odd hours, Sadie even had a dip with her mum, it was just a really really good day.

Things went up a notch when I got a last minute ticket to go see Pearl Jam, Cheese hooked me up with a ticket and place to stay, a bloody awesome place to stay, right beside the Britomart station infact (Marcure) Two days in the C.B.D hooked up in a ritzy hotel was cool, knowing that your about to notch another of the big bands you’ve always wanted to see off your list was over the top.

– a random side note –
We saw this funny as fuck band on T.V thought I’d share

So the day came to go see Pearl Jam, Ben Harper and Liam Finn, all great acts, we decided to take the train in.
First Impressions of Britomart Station = AMAZING what a class building.
Second Impressions of Britomart Station = Why are we wasting this on the Jaffa’s?

The trains shake about worse than the Johnsonville line in Wellington, although theyre alot flasher than our clean green electric jobbies, th unit we took was full of Young, drunk fuckheads who took it upon themselves to piss off the Large Maori ticket collector by ignoring very sign not to drink, smoke and be an utter fuckhead plastered around the place while loudly proclaiming that thy live in greenhythe and never take the train.

Anyway… we (Daniel, His little Sister Anna and myself) rode the train, walked up Mt. Smart got some beer and sat down to watch Liam Finn with EJ Barnes, the atmosphere down the back was perfect for his style of music, people were seated enjoying beer in the sun building up to “Second Chance” the crowd went nuts for him.

Ben Harper was much the same for me, chilled out down the back, while he played everything I wanted to hear on slide guitar, on top of that, we got a cover of queens (feat david bowie) under pressure with Eddie Vedder making his first appearance of the night the crowd really started to surge up around this point…

To be continued… Tomorrow I’ll tell you about the headliner, catching up with Jolene, Aucklands nightlife and the shitty handling of public transport after the gig.
