love is a verb

23.02.08
Soundwave Festival
Brisbane Riverstage + Parklands

There were multiple acts that were on my viewing list; The Matches, Plain White T's, Boys Like Girls (missed them), Motion City Soundtrack. However, the draw card for me was definitely Incubus. You can probably tell from all the photos I took. I went to the stage when Thursday were playing and I have to say that they were not worth my attention. Incubus were worth waiting for through Thursday and the pathetic crowd just to have a spot near the front. It was a gorgeous day and the night scenes were delicious. Seeing Incubus live again warmed my heart and I look forward to the next concert here in Australia.

Warning: A lot of photos of Incubus and mostly Brandon Boyd.


This little guy just appeared on my windscreen when I was driving through Brisbane to the festival. It was so very random and the traffic was slow, so I had to take a photo.


I found my friends Carmen & Craig there.


Emma




Me and Nomes (my bodyguard in the Thursday crowd)


Plain White T's. The only photo I took - I was not moving from my spot.




The circle of death = The circle of complete wankers.


Incubus were finally on for their too short gig.


















Then he started to walk towards me (my side of the stage)


Naturally, I had to take a bunch of photos while he was so close.
















The singlet comes off. The song In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins comes into my head (I've been waiting for this moment all my life).


If I could just run my hands along that back ;)




and then they were gone. I look forward to when Incubus come back to our shores and hopefully this time if they do come for a festival they will do a sideshow in Brisbane too.

These photos are nothing like the photos I have seen from the Soundwave festival of people who were bang smack front and centre and with greater cameras than mine :)

Three Things

As inspired by Fiona over at hop skip jump here are three things that have made me happy this week:

One: The 11yo girls I coach netball in won their game today and they played the best that they have all season. It was very uplifting to all of the girls to win their first game in weeks. I think having a one and a half hour training session on Wednesday really helped.

Two: The sun is shining and the weekends are beautiful, inspiring and heart-warming. I'm finally ready for the warmer weather to arrive and I don't feel off about it.

Three: Things are looking up in all aspects and I feel lighter inside. Hopefully I won't need a massage for a couple of weeks to loosen the stress my body was holding tight.

I do have more concert photos to post, and even a post or two of my film photos from various events. Leave a comment here or post your own entry about three things that have made you happy this week.

Enjoy your weekend!
