cooked up a storm in the radio kitchen last night.
pancakes on air, to share, as tasty sonic treats.
my final tin radio show no guests turned up, which was kind of a relief, so played 14 of my own personal favourite tracks. asked to fill in a few minutes of the night share, so grabbed the last two nights from the stream and made a quick mash-up.
very self-referential, but had a nice tina feel amidst lloyds sine tone swirlings and shannon's audio mulch.
took part in a very bizarre conversation out the back afterwards with some of the leading lads of australiasian computer music, suggesting themes for this year - they seemed the like 'chicks with laptops'. addressing the gender imbalance and all.
drank various roving bartenders wares, marcus had tequila with lemonade, and cute boy with button details on his jacket offered me vodka during the live feed but had to decline in a sudden attack of professionalism, so when he strolled past as we were loading the car after the festival bar had run out of beer (shame!!) I grabbed him and had a swig of excellent polish bison vodka. no worm and no grass though. justine - our fabulous pancake chef - took us on a cruise through newcastle, down to the foreshore and had harry's cafe de wheels pies. mmmmm cheesy sauce, mushy peas, potato and gravy. watched a few of the local louts play fighting in their best kung-fu moves, then drove up to the cathedral - a modest red-brick but with fabulous view of the factories pumping out smoke and glittering port along the harbour. wandered back to the quest and found a bunch of my favourite techies hanging out on the balcony, had a bath and went to sleep.
woke up happy after feverish note-taking through the night, capturing my various moments of lucidity, re-thinking life in transit for very cool berlin project, and now meeting miyuki to swim, coffee and drive back to sydney via brooklyn for lunch. yum.
