With some members living interstate, The Way Hip Antelopes have not played together for a year, and before that maybe another year or more. So it was with much anticipation that a small horde crowded the Phoenix last Thursday night for a gig that was only organised the week before.
Went to the 2XX Fundraiser on Friday 1st October. Bit of a poor turn-out, I”m afraid. What”s really sad is that there were more people watching the Karaoke in the club lounge than there were listening to the fine line-up of Canberra bands performing in the auditorium. Shame, Canberra, shame!
I guess in all fairness I should point out that it was a wet night. That”s one of the problems with living in a very dry climate; a bit of rain and everybody seems to think it”s the apocalypse. They”re all doing 120km along the Tuggeranong Parkway to get home and get the ration packs out.
My father phoned Telstra
Dad: ‘I want to report some nuisance calls.’
Telstra: ‘Certainly Sir…’ etc. (I am, you are, we were Australian). ‘Now Sir, do you know who’s been making these calls?”
Dad: ‘Yes, it’s Telstra’.
They’ve stopped hassling him to give them his business. One down, only several thousand telemarketing companies to go.
