Scott Sigler
Getting to meet the New York Times bestselling author, Scott Sigler was a real treat.
His books and podcasts have relieved the boredom and monotony of many many days of surveillance.
Looking forward to the next couple of books – cheers g

Henry Rollins live Spoken Word
Henry Rollins, I saw him in Black Flag in the mid 80’s, I saw him in The Henry Rollins Band at the Livid Festival in the 90s and now Hank is doing a spoken word world tour – in the naughties.
His intensity is still amazing, his delivery is non-stop (for fear that the crowd will rush the stage and kill him) and his mind is as sharp as a tack.
I was blown away by his recitation of the Freedom of Speech from the US Constitution was jaw dropping….. we could all learn a thing or two from this man.
Keep well Hank, look after that voice-box – g

Phillip Island Classic Bike Races – 23 Jan 10
Classic Bikes racing at the world famous – Phillip Island – circuit.
The weather was perfect, the bikes were loud and smelly – “I love the smell of methanol in the morning, its the smell of racing!”
This guy won his unlimited race and popped a sweet wheelie out of Siberia in early celebration – good on ya!

Prince William – Melbourne – 2010
Well, Melbourne had the Royal Flying visit – two days of the paparazzi trying to get to Wills to get shots of him ….. (there was also a cadre of journalists in a bus following but anyways…)
Young Prince William took the time to get out of the cavalcade to walk the last 100 metres to Government House – thankfully I was in the right spot with the 300mm Telephoto lens and took a few shots –

Motorbikes and Fish & chips!
It was a perfect day – not a cloud in the sky and the most beautiful light breeze to keep things mild and temperate.
We took a ride down to the Williamstown waterfront for fish & chips and a stroll…..
The only place in Oz that was relatively deserted – Willy town – no idea why!
This is the ZRX 1200R that I swapped for the Triumph Thruxton – while I loved the Thruxton, I needed some cash and the opportunity to sell it came up, and so I have now gone back to the UJM – (Universal Japanese Motorcycle) style of bike. Cheaper, more reliable, more comfortable and ironically, faster…. not that I spend much of my time speeding nowadays…
Oh… BTW…. If you go to Williamstown – find another fish shop other than ‘Mussels’ the Prawns were rubbery, the chips were manky and they charged $1.50 for a thimble of Tartar sauce.

Akmal – Comedian
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of having Akmal in the studio for an interview… Hey, I love comedians almost as much as musicians…
At least I can crack the occasional funny – I really can’t play a note on any instrument.
Thanks Akmal, I am looking at the “Diametric View” theme more seriously now. g
