Journal Entry:
Woke up feeling not so good, and went back to sleep. Repeated this several times and finally got out of bed around noon - but not feeling to bad. Got hold of Karen and arranged to meet them in St. Kilda (a suburb on the south side of the river). There's a huge festival going on in St. Kilda so parking was going to be scarce. Sarah volunteer to give me a ride, but we as we got near the traffic got so horrible that I decided it would be quicker to walk and got out of the car.

Somewhat miraculously I managed to meet up with Karen, Jodie (both Jordan April '98), Jodie's fiancé Paul (met London, May '98), and some friends of theirs. Spent the afternoon / evening at the festival. Watched (actually listened to) a couple live bands (one very good - Dead Star, one very bad - don't remember their name). Hiked back to the tram line to get back to Sarah and John's place, and ended up just missing the tram. Decided to catch a cab rather than wait the 35 minutes for the next tram. Had a great steak diner then sat around and started the great Mac Guigans bottle bottle of port that I bought in the Hunter Valley.
