The timing was excellent as I had an advance loan due to be available. As it turned out the money came the day we came back so I had to do it mostly on borrowed cash and pay it back when we return. Thank you Ravenna for helping me out.

So this was what was on in Melbourne that weekend. Saturday night was The New Order - a fairly regular goth/dark alt event. Sunday night The Damned were playing but I never got to see them. We had too much on and it clashed with other plans. The main event for me Sunday night was Fang - the event I was booked to DJ at.

Anyway, I'll go through how it all went in a timeline of sorts.

Friday

We left Adelaide on the bus on Friday night at 8:15pm. Travelling on the bus were Ravenna, Sam, Adrian and myself. The initial plan was to sleep on the bus but none of us did. We were too excited and it was so damn hard to get comfortable. I also have sleep apnea so I usually sleep with a CPAP machine and that wasn't doable on the bus. But they did have USB power. I rigged up a "portable CPAP machine" made from a USB fan, a funnel and a lot of gaffa tape. If the fan was stronger I think it would have worked but as weak as the fan was it didn't really do anything. Plus it made me look like I was fellating the funnel. So no sleep for us.
