MAD WEEKEND

So I was having a normal kind of weekend... I got some photos developed and generally just sorted some stuff out. Then in in the afternoon I got a call from this guy Aisea, the worship leader at Risen Church (where I go on Sunday evenings). He was was like "hey man, you want to go to a party?" and I was like "yeh". So on Saturday evening he turns up at my place in his jeep (proper full-on jeep with absolutely no kind of roof, just something that resembles a roll-cage)... man, it was wicked... riding on the freeway going  80 mph, it makes your face and hair go absolutely mental. So we get to this party and it turns out it's for this charity called Rise-up (go to http://riseupinternational.com/main.html it's a pretty cool website) and they're all about getting poor and abused kids from third world countries off the streets and into homes... this party was to raise awareness. It's pretty cool, they make and sell t-shirts and artwork and give all the proceeds to their cause. So that was really fun, there was live music, free drinks and I bought 2 T-shirts. After the party about 10 of us went to a thai food place to get some food. It was good fun, I ended up crashing at Aisea's friends place.

The next day Aisea and me just hung out all day and did a bunch of stuff... he took me to this well nice restaurant for lunch called Houstons where we had sushi and the nicest burger in the history of life, apparently a bunch of celebrities go there all The time.  After that, we went to this place called guitar center. Man, if you're a musician or a sound engineer you will love his place! ... it's this huge, multi story shop with guitars, drums, PA stuff and all the sound proof practice rooms you'd ever need. It was great. I was there to buy some drum sticks and a guitar tuner but Aisea ended up paying for it all! what a legend. So that was great. After that we went to the church at about 3pm to set up for the meeting (I was up for playing drums again) ... the meeting was great. If anyone's interested, they should go to the risen church website ( www.risenchurch.com ), my friend Trevor gives a really good short talk every week that you can listen to online... they're actually wicked. After the meeting, we all went out for this guy Paul's birthday... about 25 of us for mexican food. It was great fun, what was great too was that Paul paid for all of it! haha.

The most mental thing about the weekend was that I ended up moving house! ... Aisea was all like "man, it's not cool that you live so far out... if you want you can come live with me, rent free" ... So I was like "yes please!" so I did... we went and got pretty much all my stuff from my place and I moved in to his place! the most surreal thing ever. It's great tho, his place is nice and it's pretty close to work and everything. man, it's mental... So yeh, I moved house and saved a month of rent! 

Best thing ever.
