... ok it doesn't even have to be Glastonbury. Just somewhere other than Perth, where fun goes to die.I have a serious case of envy sparked this week by a conversation with friend and former UK housemate Nick about our various plans for the next few weeks.
I’m flying to Belgium for a festival, he said. He then proceeded to rattle off the most impressive music line-up I’ve ever heard. I think I blanked out somewhere in the middle but I distinctly remember Air, Bloc Party, Arctic Monkeys, Razorlight, Snow Patrol, Cold War Kids, The Kooks, Kings of Leon, Bjork and The Bravery (and I’m not even mentioning Pearl Jam, Metallica, Muse, The Chemical Brothers or Faithless because I’m not a huge fan).
What about you? He asked me.
The best I could come up with was that Xzibit is coming to Eurobar. Jesus.

don't do that again Kate. I prefer to live in blissful ignorance that Perth actually does get its far share of bands and good gigs - then you pull me kicking and screaming back into reality. :(
You really don’t want to check out the full line-up for the Belgium one or Glaston, Johnsy - it’s enough to make you actually weep.
Couple that with another UK friend seeing David Cross (a great comedian - he played Tobias Fumke in the amazingly awesome TV series Arrested Development)next week and I'm just about ready to buy a plane ticket right now.
I have tentative plans to go to Glastonbury next year. They're pretty tentative though, and I'm not convinced I'll be able to buy tickets at all, but wacth this space.
What a coincidence because I have tentative plans to stow away in your suitcase too...
hmm, i'll have to talk to my suitcase about that, he didn't mention that to me...
God, don't get me started on Perth. I have to drive to a freakin' PETROL STATION to buy milk and bread because there aren't any shops open after 5.30pm. **End Rant**
I'm constantly amazed at the way everything shuts down about 6 o'clock. I thought I was onto a good thing with the slightly dodgy Asian supermarket down the road, as it seems to be open quite late.
However the price you pay for having something OPEN is not being able to get anything you want. I went down there for milk the other night and came back with a bottle of "Soy Drink" - not soy milk but soy DRINK. It's, um, an acquired taste.
When I was in Sydney a couple of years ago I went to Manly on the ferry. Knowing I needed to pick up some food on the way home, i stopped to ask the security guard what time Coles shut. It was a Tuesday night, and it closed at midnight. brilliant! Why can't we have more of that here?
