Today I got a pleasant break from the Jamboree routine - I guess some would construe it as a “day off” !
I was lucky enough to catch up with Rowie, who's leaving for London tomorrow - we went for a lovely lunch at Red Rock on Glen Osmond Road. Plenty of chilli was EXACTLY [...]

2004-01-12 : You’re now listening to Humpy FM!
January 12th, 2004 No Comments
Tee hee… after a quiet word to James, I managed to swing a shift on the radio station ! It was wild fun ! I haven't done that in sooooooo long!! Surely being a DJ in the real world can't be that easy though ? It's far too much fun for [...]

2004-01-09 : I’m soooo tired, I haven’t slept a wink.
January 9th, 2004 No Comments
OK, the bit about having not slept is an outright lie, but I genuinely am knackered !
This is the problem with being so efficient and organised - my venue runs like clockwork… so much so that there's nothing for me to do up there any more! Well, except for playing tons of free [...]

As I haven't written myself a proper photo gallery script yet, I'll have to make do with this…
Virge and our Simpsons pinny.
We've got a 6-pack Daytona!
Here's the stage with the roof up and some lights on.
I got interviewed on the radio today (wooooo! Humpy On The Air!), so I thought I'd better take a [...]

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Well that was fun !! Oh my god, what a buzz - performing in the AJ2004 Opening Ceremony ! I know we bandy this figure of 8000 people around a fair bit, but it's completely something else to be on stage with all of their gaze focused on you. What a racket [...]

2004-01-04 : Third day in a row !!
January 4th, 2004 No Comments
Well, imagine that - I've had to wash my hands at the end of a day to get the dirt off for the THIRD day in succession ! That's not something a computer nerd's accustomed to !!
Anyway, today we spent the day setting up the video arcade some more - it's an amazing transformation [...]

2004-01-04 : Then disaster… I threw a 3 and a 1 !
January 4th, 2004 No Comments
Today it appears to be pissing down. That was a fraction unexpected, considering the relentless heat of the last few days.
I've gotta give it to Austin though - ignoring for a moment he's about as smart as a row of wooden posts, he did say that it was guaranteed to rain at least once, [...]

2004-01-01 : Happy New Year !!!
January 1st, 2004 No Comments
Today marked my first day on site at the Jamboree. After awakening feeling a bit stuffed (not hungover mind you - it would take a bit to beat Christmas morning !!), I wandered over to Woodhouse to see where they'd gotten to since I was there last.
It's amazing - you'd barely recognise the place [...]
