Important contextual info - I went for some classic flavours with the above, choosing a slice of lemon, a slice of raspberry and finally, a Biscoff-flavoured slice :D

Few people seem to recognise the shirt, leading me to believe the following: a) I am old b) the 1990s were a long time ago c) maybe no-one recognised the TV show 'Frasier' or the band 'Judas Priest', and d) they absolutely did recognise both but didn't care :D

And here's me - I promise I wasn't having a bad time, lol. Like the other pictures, I trimmed this one but what's hard to see clearly is the mash-up/joke on my t-shirt:

It was also amazing to see that Kittie were the support band, since the last time they played in Australia was 13 years ago! Ultimately, I was too busy trying to pay attention to take too many photos during the gig - but I do have two more :D

Boy, I'm tired now. Was pretty pumped to finally launch this book formally - but it looks like another stumbling block. Of course, readers on non-Amazon platforms certainly deserve to read the book now, so I'm still sharing the link :D books2read.com/u/bQkzYZ

Damn, this book is going to take a lot longer than I hoped to actually go live. Time for a split launch, I guess?

Sitting on this new release but not being able to spread the word is bugging me, lol (Amazon are so slow - but they're the only retailer I'm waiting on before I can start sharing links, etc)

Google Play - also quite swift, but Amazon... less so, lol

...or some homonyms, as it turns out - found this one just before "a subtle desert" XD

Now to switch to the old "read-aloud" feature of adobe in order to catch some missed words XD

You know, when I saw some of your shots I was thinking how great it'd be to visit during the winter :D

I'd also forgotten why so many folks bump-set (or wear sunglasses), as it keeps the sand out of your eyes while you're setting!

These people... it was all very high-school, even after high-school XD I mean, how dare musicians want to survive, to experience security or comfort - and be able to make more art! 3/3

But for artists even daring to express the desire to make a living from their art. I remember some associates of the day telling me not to listen to RATM, since the band signed with a major label. 2/3
