Toothfaeries. Not just a fairy story!

I'm slowly catching up on the backlog of party pics from my time in Oz - there are truckloads of them, it's quite daunting! These pics are just a few from the Toothfaeries reunion gig at The Zoo on Jan 5th - a few days before I flew back to Tokyo. It was an exceptional night full of the joy of life and old friends. You can see more - I hope - here.

The main star of these pic's is a dear old friend, Grant. I was so happy to see him again, he's got a kid now and is living in Melbourne working with street-kids and junkies as a counselor. I'm very proud of him.

The rest of the crew were all in fine form, and as much as things may change - some things will always stay the same. Hanging out in the band room that night made me feel like I had stepped back into 1998... except that we all look way more haggard these days. For those of you who didn't know me back them, I should tell you that this band was my first foray into band management. I lived and breathed my job back then, and so these guys became like a family to me, as did The Zoo crew. So you understand how special this night was for all involved...

In other news, I have a four day weekend approaching. Gonna sleep like the dead. What is it about Tokyo that drives us to such spectacularly ambitious forms of self-abuse and overwork?

Oh, and did I mention that my gig as the photographer for the Australia Day Ball went off without a hitch? So proud of myself. More on that one soon...
