Melbourne

We had a great weekend. Stayed at the Olsen Hotel, took the smart car for a run down to St Kilda.

Saw the Tim Burton exhibition which was great.

Were privileged to attend our friends Tim and Keith's civil ceremony.

Caught up with Tom and Martin and had a meal at Cafe & Cucina, which was rather a rushed affair considering we had three courses and they didn't even ask us if we wanted coffee before they presented us with the bill. Leaves a bad taste in ones mouth.

Sirens, Heavy Metal Orchestra

A bit of variety here with Heavy Metal Orchestra at Red Rattler, a great but very short performance with prepared piano, trumpet and electronic tools.

Followed with an all female band, Sirens at the Sound Lounge on the Friday night. That was quite inspiring to see so many women playing, they sounded good - makes a nice change to the male dominated jazz scene.
