Nice one Geetz, yeah they played the Corner Hotel here in Melb, couldnt make it had some other stuff to get to, few friends of mine went tho - sounds like I missed a good night.

lol that is kinda sad I agree, hes a great tattoo artist or once was, I recall he had a studio in Richmond (melb), I herd he was head of the Vic Tattoo Assosiation at one stage, Id like to track him down as he & another dude in Dandenong (whos now dead) were the only punk tattoo artists that I know of. Anyway hope they still put on a good gig 4 ya.

Oh, sorry about that, lol. I've played those kinds of machines before. My mother introduced me to one. It was cool, but it was quite a bit of money to risk per round. I think I had to bet about $1.75 per round. I mostly do the slot machines (5 cents, 10 cents, you name it). It's less money to lose than at a table, in general.

Lol, if the employees at Lac-Leamy (the casino I went to for New Years) saw you only playing a couple of bucks for poker, they would probably just kick you out of the table, lol. But you're smart for not betting a shit load of money. If you were to play something like Texas Hold'em at Lac-Leamy, then you would have to play more like 100 bucks.

Awesome, man. It sounds really wierd, though, at least from where I live. But it's winter for us, and I believe it's summer for you guys.

Gambling can be fun to an extent. If you win, you can be celebrating for having some extra cash just for taking a risk. If you lose, it does happen. But if it's only like 40 bucks, then it's no big deal. If you lose more like 200 bucks, then it starts to become a little serious. You'd probably shouldn't spend your money on anything for about a week, but then everything would probably be okay after that. If you lose about 10 or 20 grand, then hell yeah, it definitely becomes a serious situation. You would definitely have a gambling problem if you lost that much.

My New Years was great, Irie. I went to the casino and had a great time. I gambled, I was up, but then later I lost about 50 or 60 bucks, but it happens. I drank, even though I had to wait like 10 minutes to get a beverage since there were so many people at the bar. Most importantly, I shouted out the countdown. The funny thing is, it was about 6 minutes until midnight, and I just finished a beer. I thought to myself, "Fuck, I got to get a beer for midnight!" So I squeezed myself through the crowd and just got a beer in time for the new year, lol. How was your New Years?

Nice One GEETz, great band both live & on vinyl, I saw them (in melb) shit must have been early 90s, great gig. Hey Im glad you got to see Depression also, I wasnt aware that they were still doing gigs, I better try catching them. I got tickets to see Soundgarden today taking my son (hes a drummer) his 1st (large) gig. - cheers GEETz

Great!

You know, when I was first going to check them out, they sounded like it was going to be a punk band. Damn, was I ever wrong, but yeah, they're sick.

Lol, I thought you would say that.

I'm assuming that "Resurrection" and everything after that, they sold out.
