From the desk of Hamish

Sandpipers & a new blog writer.
hi there, it's Hamish here, very nervously signing in for my first/possibly only blog entry ever.
Ben's off duty this week due to a bad case of Sandpiper Islanditis (don't ask), so i'm here to let
you know what's been going on in the world of us!!!
First on the chopping block was our conclusion of the Boy & Bear/The Chemist/Passenger tour with
a drive to Wollongong, then Newcastle & ending in Sydney. The weekend concluded with 2 sold out
Oxford Art Factory shows which were large amounts of fun yet slightly emotional. This was due to the fact
we'd become so close to Bozza & Bezza/Passie in our short stint but i can't help thinking that maybe
we're going soft? Anyway, we drowned our sorrows, a lot, & said our goodbyes.
A few days off in Sydney was much appreciated in our camp but by Thursday we were on the road
again to Brisbane for the start of the Lullabies & Other Lies Tour a.k.a the Lullabies & Pun Intended
Tour (who knows why, we talk some serious amounts of nothing in our van). Brisssie was saweeet
with some old friends coming down and new friends met.
Toowoomba was the next night & Phil the owner of the pub made our night a night to remember with
shots/g&t's a plenty, thanks Phil. In the morning (with possibly the worst hangover i've ever had),
we dropped Elliot to the airport (he was flying home in secrecy to be a romantic boyfriend, the big softy)
and began our epic adventure from Brisbane to Melbourne in two days of driving.
Needless to say we made it and are preparing for the rest of the tour (via sleep & pasta).
Check the dates 'cause we're on our way to you soon with Adelaide Friday & Melbourne Saturday !!!
Consider my blogging cherry popped. How'd i go?
