Tough to admit it, but truth be told, I have a terrible habit of falling behind sometimes. It was a rough two weeks preceding my week-long trip to San Francisco. So, naturally, my posts went “walkabout” and left things way out of date. But to make things simple and to keep this brief – we’ll just run through the highlights of the past three weeks, yeah?

Tuesday, March 16th – Massive Attack at Sydney Opera House Forecourt

Quite possibly one of the best concerts I’ve ever attended. Super chill, bordering sublime, and they played to the crowd. Heligoland is a pretty awesome album – not exactly on par with their Tricky material, but very reminiscent of Mezzanine. I really wanted them to play “Pray for Rain” and “Paradise Circus”, but not my luck. They did, however, play “Babel”, “Splitting the Atom” (incredible), “Girl I Love You”, “Psyche” (way better live) and “Rush Minute”. Then they just started playing a lot of their old music… really good shit.

Sunday, March 21st – Mackerel Beach
As a last hurrah before the formal changing of the season (although, we’re still sort of waiting for that Fall weather) – I went up to the Northern Beaches and found Mackerel Beach. It took one hour and forty minutes on the bus from Wynyard Station to Palm Beach, and another hour from the Palm Beach Ferry landing to Great Mackerel Beach. It was totally worth it. I got an endless stretch of empty beach and a great view of Pittwater…. we grabbed a pint before heading off to the beach (spotted crazy large jellyfish on the way) and ultimately claimed a great spot a the edge of the beach.

Shortly after my trip to Mackerel, I had to fly down to Melbourne for a business trip and I had an insanely messy calendar for the entire week. But….

On March 30th – I packed my bags and flew out to San Francisco for the long Easter weekend (it was a much-needed R&R). I met Chris at the San Francisco Int’l Airport and seeing him then just about made my year.

I’m not even kidding.

He took most of the photos for the trip – although…… we were way too preoccupied with other things for picture-taking to make the top of our list. Additional photos will eventually make it to facebook =)

Everyone, feel free to comment on Chris’ super cool Nublu shirt and (of course) that gorgeous hair (and scruff!) …. =) because I love it!

And now that we’re properly caught up…. we can move forward with more entries, new adventures, and a half-marathon in my very near future. (I seriously hope I’ll be prepared in time.)

For this weekend – looks like I’m heading to the Surry Hills Festival – I’m looking forward to street food, live music, and a Dog Show!
