A photo looking out from our plane across the airport, with various planes in the distance and a baggage cart jobbie just starting to load our plane up.

Bye Melbourne! See you next time!

A selfie of three people sitting around a restaurant table, all smiling at the camera. There's River, a white non-binary person with long brown hair and glasses, Kristina, a white woman with short brown hair, and me, a white man with a short red beard and short brown hair.

Our final outing of this trip was meeting up with @[email protected] for dinner, after MANY years since we last saw them! A++ company and food.

A photo of a very small corner of the Chapel St Bazaar. In the middle on a table are milk crates with old records, behind them in glass display cases are just TONS of random small knick-knacks: old round metal containers from decades ago that used to contain things like shoe polish or tobacco or sweets, similar things but boxes, small porcelain statues, and so on. At the left are larger tins and such that say they used to contain cocoa, milk powder, coffee, black tyre paint, imitation maple syrup, etc. Everything is just absolutely jam-packed next to everything else.

A photo taken looking down Chapel St in the grimier Prahran end of things. There are lots of cars parked on either side of the road, with traffic stopped along it, and a bunch of older-looking two-storey building/shop fronts.

Today we had an extremely lazy morning, then went for a walk along Chapel St through South Yarra into Prahran to go visit the Prahran Market and the Chapel St Bazaar. The Market wasn't that interesting, mostly just food, but the Bazaar was amazing. Massive and just absolutely chock full of the most random stuff, from vintage cameras and old paintings to Playboy and Penthouse magazines from the 1980s and earlier. Chapel St itself gave me EXTREMELY King St in Newtown vibes, if you took away the tram tracks and overhead wiring it's an absolute dead-ringer.

In South Yarra we've seen not one but TWO McLarens, a Ferrari, several high-end Porsches, and a goddamned Rolls Royce as well. It was interesting how quickly the atmosphere changed from "gentrified high-end wankery" in South Yarra to "grimy and a bit run down" in Prahran as we walked south along Chapel St.

A panorama photo of fourteen people sitting around a set of wooden outdoor tables. @ajft is at the very left but also did a runner after the camera moved from his position and is also pictured sitting at the opposite end of the table, haha.

A quite zoomed-in photo of a small dark blue helicopter.

And now we've been buzzed by a VERY slow-moving, low-flying helicopter that's going along the river.

A photo of a big underwater section of the aquarium with lots of fish swimming around.

Today we went to the National Gallery of Victoria, then caught up with @joffotron for lunch, and just finished visiting the aquarium. Pretty overpriced tbh, but the aircon was nice and we had a good sit and watched the fish and it made me want to play Subnautica again, haha.

Now we're just killing time until we meet up with everyone for Fedivus!

A photo taken from my seat looking down the length of the plane, with people busily piling in and putting their luggage in.

We are on a plane! Very shortly to arrive in Melbourne.

A photo taken at the intersection of George St and Park St in Sydney's CBD, looking up at a building with a whole bunch of dangling string lights over the outside. They're making animated patterns and the one in the photo is a series of circles going outwards.

It was most excellent to finally meet @[email protected] in person tonight!

Then on the way back to the Metro station, the George St Woolies building had this big animated light display going.

I was in the office today for another post-work jam session! It was a lot of fun, I just stuck with the drums this time and we played along to a number of songs before we did some general improvising. The best thing about drums is that I don't actually need to know how the drums REALLY go, I can just get the tempo right and off I go. We played Creedence Clearwater Revival's Bad Moon Rising, and a number of other songs I've never heard of, but it was great.

There was a non-work university friend of one of the work people on vocals, and while we were improvising and she didn't have anything to do I asked if she could take a video of us, longer than the six seconds from a couple of months ago. Next time I think I need to get it taken from where the speaker is actually pointing to because the sound is not great in this as the speaker was over by the bass player and pointing out to the right, oops. I also managed to get the recording done RIGHT before 8pm which is when the lights in the building automatically turn off, hence why it goes dark right at the end. 😅

(We have a big multi-channel mixer that I could probably hook something into and record the proper audio straight from the instruments, which I think I might need to look into at some point...)

Oh wow, I ordered a Lowen band hoodie from Bandcamp and received it today, with a personal note from the lead singer saying "Thanks so much for supporting Lowen, . Sorry it took a while to arrive, hope you enjoy the hoodie. Cheers, Nina"! 😮
