what a spectacularly great day!

i’m sitting here writing with a beer to my right and a pile of minties and fantails to my left, in a vain attempt to calm my racing brain after a coffee fueled day of amazing people and events. these past few weeks have been a rollercoaster – new toys, new gigs, new people. fantastic. today just happens to be a particularly fine example:

5am – on the road down to the coast for my first surf in a month after four consecutive weekends spent either interstate, locked up in a studio, or celebrating winter with friends
10am – kingscliff finally delivers a breakfast they can be proud of, supported by some of the best banter seen so far this year.
11am – the obligatory weekly this american life roadtrip back to brisneyland
12:30pm – power nap.
12:50pm – helter skelter shower and pack before heading to the edge for a few hours of reading up, setting up and playing with my new toys.
4pm – hit it off to the tune of some great laughs with new found creative friends Jen and Jasmine to kick off a fun new creative project for later this month. VERY exciting, and involves a new physical challenge for rowley, which we do like.
6pm – raced home to HQ for a dinner of home made spicy fishu with Jaymis and Rach. These are the only people I know who hand make an amazing dinner, and then wait until after dinner to decide what they want for dessert, and then head back into the kitchen to make that too. (it was affogato, and sticky date pudding…yum)
9pm – head back out in the car to head to a friend’s birthday party for another round of new and interesting people, including some great kids from the creative fold of map magazine, one of my favourite (and few) regular reads.

and that takes me to 12am, where i’m kicking back with the aforementioned beer and fantails (don’t knock it ’til you try it) and trying to finish the poster for next Sunday’s Unconvention Afterparty Spectacular with Tash Parker at the JOYnt, which EVERYONE should come to seeing as though it’s a Long Weekend and all.

these are EXCITING times, people!

i hope you’re having an awesome weekend too.

cheers,
rowley
