Another week in Melbourne really solidified my love of the town and connected me with some good folks there. I was sad to go.

For my money, My Morning Jacket is the best live act in the States right now. Granted, I've only seen them twice, but both shows (including this one at a small club in Mel) totally rocked. I implore you to see them next time they come to your town.
After the show we sat in an alley. What fun!
There was a gayness to the air we could not quite explain until we realized we were flanked on both sides by the spirit of Matty J. Creepy.
Adding to the reasons to call the cops: # 413- if there's something strange in your neighborhood. Do you think they use Proton Packs for crowd control?

This one's for Mags. They took urinals, turned them upside down and made them into lamps. Not only was it really original, but it turned something gross into something lovely. Good stuff.
The above involves some digital manipulation but the image shown is still real, while the below simply doesn't exist. It's a compilation of shots of a road.
I got in trouble for taking this photo, but it was worth it cause I hate being told what to do. Take this authority!

Can you believe I found chalk within a block of this?

Some folks started taking photos within 30 seconds. That's it ego, eat up. Yes yes, have some more. Good boy.

For my last night in Melbourne it turned out there was a post-Rainbow Serpent party on the beach. How sick is this spot for a party?
And these are hands down the best male/female bathroom signs I have ever seen. Genius.
World's simplest chandelier- another great makeshift light fixture. This was in the National Gallery of Victoria's design section.

At the NGV, I saw an amazing Andreas Gursky exhibit. I had no idea how much Photoshop this cat uses. So much so that he considers himself a painter (albeit an eccentric one) more than a photographer.

You have to love a good daddy-daughter dance
Next stop Byron Bay, home of surfing, kick-back Aussie culture and even more hippies. Didn't they hear that I'd already filled my quota for 2009?
