I spent a day with Bart on Sunday and he stayed at my place for the night. It was definitely a great time. It would have been even better if I
didn't have to get up on Monday for work. We definitely consumed an immense amount of alcohol that evening and it was a miserable day to be
landscaping.
We spent, regretably, only a small amount of time playing guitar, then we played some classic mario kart and some tetris. That night we went to a bar
and watched Adam, formerly of The Livid, play a show with a cover band he's in and hung out with the rest of the Livid, minus Justin. I
hadn't seen any of those guys for over a year now, so it was pretty cool. I don't really remember much about the last hour before we left.
I definitely hit my peak and I had to get up for work in 4 hours.
This is a pic Andrea took right before he left my place on Monday. It's really dark for some reason. I don't know how to fix that.
It was incredibly short, but Andrea and I had a great time hanging out with the guy. Bart, you have to send me those pictures you took at the bar.
I'd love to get a copy.

oh my, such good looking chaps!
i think it's awesome you got to see him considering how much you've e-conversed this whole time between board chitchat and tabbing tunes
and loading photos and whatnot.
i got to be in the presence of mr.bartholomew for a few hours last thursday. saw the Will Farrel flick (pretty sweet actually) and rode on public
transit, twice! ooh yeah. and as expected, i was a chatterbox and talked way more than i should have.
no photo of us though. there totally should have been one.
ooh! me mum thought he was cute. ha ha.
but great seeing ya again, bart. really.
come back! and bring that crazy brother of yours along too!
you won't let me down...

chris looks like he works in a coal mine for some reason
How do you communicate those emotions that are so intense that no physical expression or series of words can even scratch the surface?

i don't look real in that photo. i think reivax made a wax model of me. i don't really remember taking them, but i have photos of that
night at the bar. nothing with adam and rob and schembri all at the same time unfortunately.

So is this the picture just before you went to work?
nope. chris went to work and i was still sleeping when he came home. he swung half the day off, you see. andrea was in a pretty bad state in the
morning too.
it was great to see you and andrea, chris. thanks for the beers and food and such.
you should all know that reivax is ridiculously good at tetris. our scores were fairly constant, in the region of 600 to chris, 50 to me. i'm
told that his lady andrea is even better.
i'll post photos etc when i get home. just realised i forgot to take a photo today -- went to see saosin with justin, schembri and shane told.

That picture does look really odd. I don't know why that is. It didn't look like that before. My tan just makes me look dirty...thus the
coal miner thing. I did just get home from work, though.
And no problemo, Bart. I figure that if anyone flies across the ocean and pays me a visit they deserve to be treated as best we can.
It's a shame you didn't see my actual mad skills at tetris. What you saw was sloppy at best.

here we go...
shane told, his girlfriend julia, bowes, me, schembri and schembri's girlfriend brittany
paige's friend brittni with a drawn on tattoo (and eve to her right)
paige's friend craig, who i thought looked a lot like my buddy tiny tom at the time (i can still see the resemblance but it's not
"exactly the same" as i assured him) and me, outside paige's friend matt's place. brittni has drawn a cow and other things on
my arm.
craig/tiny tom and me again, at cameron II's kegger
me and a very drunk chris at the toronto beerfest
the original ambition within art, hanging over schembri's massive plasma telly
reivax's awesome turtle, whose name i have forgotten
reivax's missus andrea, me, adam, reivax and schembri at the lazy flamingo (to see adam's band)
andrea, rob's missus, reivax, me and rob at the same place
adam's missus (i think!), adam, me and rob at the lazy flamingo the following sunday
that's pretty much all i got on my phone. waiting on some more photos from various people.
cheers to everyone who i spent time with -- it was fun.

That's really awesome. I told Andi and she laughed for a while. She thought that was really amusing that you bought it. I believe my record is
somewhere around 2300, so best of luck to you. Sounds like you're coming along quickly, though!
