Hugs FOR drugs

Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities is marvellous stuff. Definitely not for the squeamish though, even I had the cringes a couple of times.

Primal… season 2

She was there, just not where you think.

From the creator of American Horror Story… don’t expect any subtlety or sensitivity to victims families.

Dahmar is proper car crash tv. All “eewww”, “icky” and “OMFG!!!!!!!!”, yet mesmerisingly made.

Ticket sale dates have usually been announced by now, right? 😳

For the Aus and NZ team 🙂

I remember the good ol’ “Chart Show” on the telly years ago. Memory is a bit hazy but recollect it often had the likes of S-Express or Kylie in her SAW days at the top of the Indie chart.

A pleasant surprise from reading Marcus du Sautoy’s latest book. I wanted to catch his show this year but didn’t manage to get there.

Local station TVNZ is finally screening some footage (on the catch up app) from this year (6 x 1hr episodes). Crikey there were some epic performances. Currently watching Olivia Rodrigo nailing it 🙂

Halfway through S3 of Legion. Yeah I know, bit behind. Incredible stuff, with bonus moustaches.

Just waiting for Wet Leg to come on. 300 capacity venue.

Overheard as late as midday Sunday, “Well it’s definitely Harry or Green Day”

Leon Bridges and Angelique Kidjo we’re both incredibly good 🙂

Currently sat in Singapore airport waiting for the final flight. All the best team, and safe travels. ’twas good times 🙂

My mates wife and her son got a photo with Celeste, randomly walking along the railway track. She looked amazing despite the heat and dust. I bumped into Mik Artistik, almost literally. I was in his way with Mini Moth’s trolley while he was cycling his gear (in a bike trailer) to the bandstand. Found ourselves travelling side by side for a while and had a bit of a natter. What a thoroughly nice bloke.

Confidence Man DJ set - it’s on the chalkboard outside the tent.

Smashed it 🙂

“It doesn’t get much worse than this, does it Gideon?” 🤣

It’s now official 🙂 if the first flight on your journey is 20th or later… no tests. Might still have to do the online form but think that’s a formality. Great news for me as we have tickets for ABs v Ireland on 2nd July 🙂

On a different note, good news for the Kiwis incoming 🙂

Best tip? Don’t take a four year old 🤪 Just kidding she’s been golden. There was a crying kid on the first flight and mini moth just turned to me and sighed “daddy, that baby is annoooooying”. Edit. We bought Apple Air Tags to attach to mini moths clothing at the fest. Tried them out in our checked baggage and they’re working a treat. Takes the stress away knowing your bags have arrived at the same airport as you. Double edged sword though if it suddenly shows your bag on the wrong continent. I guess in that case at least you can make a plan rather than be stuck in limbo.

Frankfurt, checking in 🙂 🛬🛫
