"You see the way Hynesy took out Sivivatu? We can't lose!"Warning: This post features regular fanboy excitement.
My 3 weeks in China in July are up. Tomorrow I hit Japan again, back for a full 2 weeks before I'm back here to get more involved in some peaktime summer work. Am I complaining? Well, I don't get much of a summer. But in return, I've got loads of cash to do all the fantastic things I'm looking forward to this year.
And fantastic they are: Yesterday the latest installment in my plans for much amusement this year went through successfully, as I managed to get tickets to Bledisloe IV in Hong Kong in November. Judging by the looks of last week's game between the ABs and the Wallabies, it could well be a cracker. I'm almost hoping that the Wallabies win both their home games so it comes down to a winner-takes-all in HK. Noone wants to spend copious amounts of money on a dead rubber.
That's happening November 1st, a week before the recently announced company vacation to Bali, which I am also looking forward to with much excitement. With Luke planning to visit in the last week, its looking to be a bit of an awesome month.
Before then in October we have Radiohead in Osaka on the 2nd, which I must say I'm equally stoked about. Dude. Radiohead.
September has the trip back to NZ and Bill Bailey, not to mention all the wonderful people I am much looking forward to catching up with and proving my continuing existence to. Game on.
But all eyes are focussed firmly for the moment on the next 2 weeks, which will be my only summer for the year. But hey, could be worse. I could be not going to Summer Sonic. The people who organise which were nice enough to release the timetable for (click to enlarge):
I can already spot a couple of titanic clashes, in the form of (my preference first)
The Shoes vs. The Ting Tings
Late Of The Pier vs. MGMT
Biffy Clyro vs. Does It Offend You Yeah? vs. Junkie XL
New Young Pony Club vs. The Kooks
Justice vs. Coldplay (OK its no contest, but I still would like to see Coldplay...)
And that's only Saturday. Sunday is also pretty jam-packed, though only Santogold vs. Cajun Dance Party is causing me strife.
God I love summer.

Easy: Santogold or not at all
I hate you for seeing Crystal Castles without me - I just felt it needed to be reiterated despite our conversation last night
Of course its Santogold, but I'm sad about Cajun. I might be able to catch the last 15 mins of their set if I'm limber. But by Sunday, who knows.
I hate you for me seeing CC without you too. It's your fault, really.
I'm sorry - I promise to try harder next time
Okay, for the record, not that it will probably mean much... I would be down for The Ting Tings, Late Of The Pier, Does It Offend You Yeah?, and The Kooks out of those options. Some tough choices there though... Sounds awesome any way you have it.
