Pissed Off

Rained Out 

Sorry The Blog has been so quiet folks....but I have been feeling a bit "regular" the last couple days.

Fact is I was pretty fired up for the PM's XI and was more then a little pissed off when The skies pissed down on like Manukea alone.

No I don't blame Sangakarra -- That's absurd, How's a Wicket-keeper, regardless of his considerable skill, Tatting ability, or unusual choice of protective headgear, going to affect the weather ??  - Where do people get this crap?

Anyway, I threw a lot of energy into the concert, ( see some set up shots below) even played an extra whole set as we had the time and I was feeling a bit sorry for the Fans, Julia, and ACT Crickett and felt I should do what I could to make things right.

Early set up at the Oval

Getting the Lines right

Directing the mid-stage ( check out Wrench on the scaffolding)

I even played a bit while we were waiting out the rain before the official cancellation. That was cool, very appreciative crowd, and I was able to do some new Cricket related songs I was playing around with.

In fact, some sort of copyright -legal bullshit keeps me from posting any footage from the actual concert, but I will be able to post some vids from the informal session -- and I'll get it up here, when we smooth the edges - eh?

Oh before I forget, Some of my Yank friends seem a bit confused about the whole Cricket thing. Well after my recent trip to the heart of it all in the States -- I feel I'm particularly ready to clear it up once and for all............ ready Mr. Weed et al ??:

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. 
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game

Well I hope that clears things up a bit eh?



So How do I feel about it all ??
Well I did what any True Blue Aussie Lad, personally chosen by the Prime Minister Herself to represent the Green and Gold would do in similar circumstances...

After getting plenty pissed of, by being thourghally Pissed on .... Me and the Team went out and got Royally Pissed and I must say some of those Blokes can do even a rock star hard when it comes time to party!!!

Pissed Out and Pissed Off
