Airport! Dinner! Airport! Rocky!.... Airport! Dinner! Airport! Rocky!

I went to the airport before the crack of dawn yesterday. I know this because it was dark when we left home and so dawn had not yet cracked. The reason for this was so that Mum and Barry could catch their early flight to Sydney for the weekend. For those who don't know, Sydney is a largish town, about 1000km south of Brisbane. For all practical purposes, excluding politics, Sydney is essentially the capital city of Australia. (The capital of Australia would be 'A')
Kelvin (my more chronologically advanced brother) also flew to Sydney yesterday but was on a later flight. This meant I got to drive a second time to the domestic airport. Yay, much fun.

The fun part of the evening occurred later, when I went to Rowan and Klaus' apartment for dinner and a movie. The original plan was to eat dinner there, and then walk down the road to The Globe cinema to watch the screening of Rocky Horror with the live floorshow, however when the time came to depart their abode, we decided that we couldn't be bothered walking that far and instead watched the movie in their apartment. We'll try to attend the next screening with the live floorshow, but it's difficult when it's not scheduled to start until 11pm, which at The Globe means it probably won't start until at least 11:30pm, which is almost tomorrow. And who'd want to watch a movie tomorrow?

Yes I will. Next time RHPC screens, I will not be in swat-vac hell!

I will join you, Rowan & Klaus then.

Yes it is silly paying $15 to see a film everyone knows almost as well as 'Star Wars' or 'The Sound of Music' but there you go. Some people pay $40 or more to sit in a theatre and sing a long to SoM with other like-minded souls!
