I’m a little bit sad at the moment. Cloud City / Stargate Command / 14 Prentice Street as we know it comes to an end in about two weeks. I’m really going to miss it. I’ve had the best six months of my life living here and there are just so many amazing memories that go with it. I’ve played here, seen some of my favourite bands here, met a hero of mine here, partied here, met some of the people I now consider my closest friends here, played a lot of Ninja Gaiden, had many drunken nights and most importantly MET SOME OF THE MOST AMAZING, INTERESTING, PASSIONATE, CREATIVE AND BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER AUSTRALIA HERE. It sucks because in losing this place I lose this platform. I’m going to miss living in Brunswick too. I love this place.
The last week has been pretty intense. Wednesday night I saw Envy, My Disco and Brisk at the Arthouse and it was pretty incredible. Had awesome chats with Juzzy and Cohan too, which was good. Thursday I went to Molly’s and cooked, ate, watched telly and slept. Good times. Friday was our six month of actually dating anniversary so we went to a hotel and I got candles and roses and was all romantic and lame. But it was a really special night and we just hung out watching Foxtel, eating takeaway and lazing around in the spa. Saturday we went back to Yarraville and got in to the new Harry Potter film for free and it was pretty great. That night I went to Juzzy’s 21st and had such an awesome time. Majorca played the best set I have ever seen them play - Jimmy was really drunk and jumped off the kit into everybody. Totally awesome. Juzzy got weed-cake for his birthday so I spent most of the night pretty high, talking shit with Tim, Chlo, James and Thom. Martin had a spazz out (again) which was pretty entertaining. Sunday I had a pretty boring day, riding around Brunswick with no direction until I ended up at the Nova and snuck in to a cinema FULL of middle age couples to see Clubland. It was kinda alright.
Anyway, there are four more shows at Cloud City before it ends, so if you want to check it out before it’s all over drag yourself out to one of these.
