went to bondi beach yesterday with a brazilian girl i met named luara, and met about 20 of her friends. the guitar i bought about an hour earlier was a hit as many there knew how to play so they just passed the guitar around and played between brazilian and north american songs singing loudly into the ocean.
it got really cold near the end of the day so went home changed and found out our hostel group was doing quiz night at a near by pub. so i made a team with 2 girls from holland named "the botanic gardeners" and we did fairly well. did you know australia was originally to be named new holland? well now we know.

Yo Pete, here's a write-up Atkinson did for the new album that went out to his mailing list for radio people....
SPOTLIGHT ON CALGARY
BRITTLE SIREN
With Grandfather Fire And The Holy Morning calling it a day, Pete from the group has had a little more time to focus on his solo endeavour, recording his second full length under the Brittle Siren moniker. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something distinctly Canadian about the songs on the disc. I'm not talking Canadian anthems and songs about igloos and polar bears; rather, it's more something in the root of the sound that these songs embody; they feel like they have a perfect understanding of living North of 60.
nice to be caught up on your blog. glad ur having a great time. keep it up, more pics.
Sounds like you had a great time on the beach with your guitar!! Really cool that you made a team with the girls from Holland! I know when I was living in Jasper, it was really cool meeting people from all over the world:):)
