Supanova, Gold Coast March 2014

Gina and I had heaps of fun dressing up and attending Supanova Pop Culture Convention on the Gold Coast last month.

The highlight was definitely Michael Rooker (Merle on The Walking Dead) - he was all kinds of awesome!  We caught his panel on Saturday, I got his autograph on the Saturday and then I had a photo with him on the Sunday.

On Saturday I was batman inspired and Gina was joker inspired.

Sunday is always steampunk Sunday - I was steampunk Dorothy (from the Wizard of Oz).

This was March in instagram.

Soundwave - Part 1, Alice in Chains

I have loved the band Alice in Chains since I first started listening to them in the early '90's.  For me they are grunge/rock with amazing harmonized vocals.

I have never had the opportunity to see them live before so when I found out they were playing at Soundwave 2014, I knew I had to get tickets!!!!

We had a fantastic spot centre middle to front of the D section of the stage, it was the perfect spot.

They were FANTASTIC!  I am still speechless about the experience, it was just incredible.   They were amazing, but it was the people that I shared it with too that made the experience what it was (Bren, Josh and Ez). 

I cried when they played Nutshell (which they dedicated to Layne Staley and Mike Starr) - it was a super emotional part of the set.  One of my favourite Alice in Chains songs performed so incredibly and dedicated to two amazingly talented and departed members of the band.

William DuVall is a phenomenal front man - his voice and presence were fantastic.

(I have certainly used the words amazing and fantastic alot in this post - but there are just not enough words to describe seeing them perform live).

February on instagram

I was a bit quiet on instagram during February.

House of Cards

We got back from camping on Tuesday morning and discovered that Season 2 of House of Cards was available.  We are over half way through the season already LOL.

House of Cards is a brillant TV show starring Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright.  If you havnt checked it out, you should!

New TV series discovered, The Bridge

While I was sick in bed with a chest infection this week, I discovered the US TV show "The Bridge".  I watched the whole first season this week and loved it!  I cant wait for the next season to come out!
