The wife and i went to the Chelsea Heights hotel on Saturday
and saw Mental As Anything <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> .How we got there is a story in itself.
We had dinner there last week and it was crap,
the wife emailed a complaint.We ended up getting two tickets and a $50 voucher.
So on Saturday night we had dinner and watched the Saints Pies game,had a few drinks
and walked out our back gate through the wetlands to the pub a eight minute walk.
Anyway because it was so busy the barman turned our voucher into $50 cash,we had
a few drinks and walked out with more money <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/Money Eyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' /> in our pockets than what we had when we went in.What a band the mentals are/were,we thought it might be a bit tragic.
But what a surprise i have forgotten how many hits they had <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/im Not Worthy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' /> it was a great night <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/Party.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> followed by 16 minute stagger home <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sports.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':laugh:' /> Free drinks <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piwo.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> great music (from our youth a long time ago in a galaxy... you know how it goes)Paul.

Hey paul! That sounds really good! I have driven past that Chelsea Heights place but never went inside. I like that glass dome thing they have. Did it have palm trees inside? At least I think that is how I remember it.
Cheers, Glen

Glen,yes thats the one.It has palm trees inside the dome.
We call it the fishbowl.Have you ever been inside a big dome or even a room with
convex /domed ceiling?The acoustics are amazing,you can hear other peoples
voices coming out of nowhere.It's as if they are right next to you when they are no where near you.It's practically eaves dropping.So be careful with what you say.
Paul.

hahaha. No I have not been in such a place before! Could be fun! But I will try and not laugh if I hear a funny conversation as they will probably hear me and come find me!!!! <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' />

A friend of mine went to see mental as anything a couple
of years ago and she said the band was ******* before
they got on stage.
the lead singer fell over at one stage through the concert. <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacky.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wacky:' />
she also said there was an old man and a young women up dancing
and the young women was rubbing this old man all over
while on the dance floor in front of everyone....
i mine really going to town with this old guy. <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' />

spiritualized last month.

I saw David Byrne(ex Talking Heads)at Hamer hall earlier this month.
As far as gigs go it was ok.He did 5 encores and not a talking heads song in them.
Her did play some through the show,but to do so many encores and play obscure stuff(to me that is)
was rather poor.
