My friend Haydon Scott is a sick painter. Style for miles.
This isn’t my helmet, but he is kind enough to hook me up with something. Can’t wait.

Sydney.
Posted in Cities, Traveling on January 30th, 2009 by Michael – 1 Comment
Welcome to the future. Sydney has an N and that’s close to M, which stands for monorail.
The fireworks over the Sydney Opera House were epic. What is more than epic you ask? How about a the little person right in front of us standing on a ledge 60 feet over the street below leading a full-on “Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie Oi Oi Oi” chant. Yeah, it got weird.
The aftermath of NYE in Sydney is pretty gut wrenching. Every McDonald’s packed with hammerheads chugging Big Macs like they are going out of style. I’ve never seen anything like it. The town itself is beautiful and I am sure there are hidden gems and nice quite hideaways, but it was a holiday and we were pretty single-minded. Needless to say it was the biggest street party I’ve ever born witness too. They shut down everything around Darling Harbor and let the kids go wild in the streets. You can’t go wrong.
Side note: Don’t get suckered into one of the fancy ferry rides through the city’s harbors. You can catch the public ferry in Manly and ride it straight into Darling Harbor.
Sydney gets an A-.

Check out this article. Someone hacked some construction signs outside of Austin. I found this on woostercollective.com, pretty cool street art website.

Best road crew ever. I couldn’t have asked for three more chilled out mother truckers with which to take on Australia. You guys rule.

London did this first and better, but it still looks cool in Brisbane. That sun was brutal. The Gold Coast is the skin cancer capital of the world. Everywhere you look there is melanoma. They might as well schedule your cancer removal surgery the same time you buy a ticket to the place. Not good for tattoos, gingers, or black metal kids.
Brisvegas.

We started our trip in Coolangatta which is about an hour South of Brisbane. Brisbane is a pretty sweet town, not as as sweet as Melbourne, but more on that later. We went up there to see what goes down on a Friday night and why they call it Brisvegas.

“One Red Thread” is the standout track. Check em out. Thanks Jill and Mike C. for turning me onto this. This is a damn fine record and great summer driving music. Considering all the time I just spent on the road, its keeping me moving right now. Man, I wish I had this in Australia. Speaking of OZ, I should be posting some pictures and stories of life on the read pretty soon. Anyway, Go buy this record or see them if they are coming to your town. Chances are they are not coming to NZ anytime soon.
