Big Show at Thebby.

The evening will celebrate Thebarton Theatre’s dedication to the South Australian music industry with a concert of more than 40 musicians representing over 30 of South Australia’s and Australia’s most successful and greatest bands who have played Thebarton Theatre.

Blues guitarists compete to the death in bloody axe battle
I seem to be stuck on that theme; i guess because it appeals to me.
Anyway, this is a new event and it is:
One night only!
The Juke Joint Blues Review & guitar solo competition
@ The Sporting Car Club, 51 King William Street, Unley.
SUNDAY JULY 22. 5.30 PM.
Great rhythm and blues and a chance to compete on stage for the best guitar solo performance.
Watch some of our best local guitar players battle it out for prizes.
(see, it’s the ‘battle’ bit that gets me going. It’s their fault)
Go here to put yourself in the front line you long-haired, smelly, lice-infested fukken hippies playing your coloured person’s doggerel tunes so fukken loud a bloke can’t hear himself fart….
Actually, that’s all probably not true, except the part about securing a spot in the line-up.
Go here for that:

I remember when….
Contemplating future air travel plans I was given pause to remember the time I was a sardine.
Gosh, there was a whole bunch of us. Pals, we were….. well….. sort of friendly-isa… a bit… because, well, sometimes we really got on each other’s nerves.
“Eric!”
“What?”
“Get your fukkn fin out of my back!”
“I can’t help it, Jeffrey is pushing me.”
“All right… Cut it out Jeff. And Ralph, your breath stinks; turn over the other way. What? … Well, if you can’t turn over use a breath mint or something….
“And who’s tickling my tail fins? Nigel! Cut it out you know I’m fukn ticklish there. Oh Man! Something stinks! Hang on, what’s the matter with you, Perry? Do you wanna fess up to that nasty pong – smells like one of yours?”
“No! It wasn’t me; it was Murph in the layer below. He dropped his guts.”
“Murph, you dirty bastard! That smells like a krill has crawled up your ring piece and died. Now, what’s the matter with you, Samela…?”
“It’s dark in here…”
“Jesus wept, of course it’s fukken….. Christ, Sam, if you’re scared of the dark you should’ve brung a torch. Now, what’s goin’ on over there?”
“It’s Gloria, she’s singing.”
“How can she sing without a fukkn head?”
“I dunno… she’s just making this sort of oeoeoeoeoooo noise. Stop it Gloria….!!!! Ow… she hit me with her fin!”
“Cut it out the both of you. Gloria, shut the fuk up or else sing something we all know; and NOT: I’m a little Fishy!!! Just a sec….. what the fuk is goin’ on over there, Stevo?”
“It’s nothing… Colin just mistook me for his twin brother, that’s all.”
“Is he fukkn blind, or what???? Oh… now look at me! Look at my scales… all covered in olive oil. Dominic… are you responsible for this, you blasted slippery dago…???? This stuff won’t wash out. Ohh, Christ; let me out of here!”
We got out of there eventually but fuk was that wholemeal toast prickly.
