Day 10

Ok... after a early night the night before... Melinda and I( hows that grammar karisma??) got up early and went for a walk to Bridge Road Richmond.. shopping again.. i know... and after walking for what seemed like forever we arrived...yay.. shopped... then headed home..

On the way home we were mesmerised by this Police lady who was directing traffic heading into a AFL Game.... And she was not taking any crap that these drivers were trying to give her.. and do not even consider trying to slip in the the lane... ohh no.. she was not taking it... and the more that everyone beeped and honked the more she seemed to get angry... We wanted to like run over and shake her hand!!!!!

Then we all decided to go and see Anyone for Tennis..(although the other three had aready seen it).. but it was not on due to some crazy rockk concert that was happening in AC/DC Lane ( i shit you not... this was the mane of the lane)... and as we walked looking for another show to see.. we realised that the ight cap was on so we thought we would give it another go.. since we thought we could help flyer!!! WRONG... all that happened was that Bec got "chewing gum" on her arse and asked Magesh to check if it was def there??? Which was then used in the hilarious show of theres.... no seriously it was even though we had alrready seen it... the more we drank and the more we heard the jokes for a second time.. the funnier it became.... then magesh used the chewy line and bec and i nearly fell off our chairs with laughter... the alcohol we had comsumed probably didnot help the situation......

After this we yet again headed to the Exford... Meagan piked it... so Melinda, bec and I went all by our lonesomes..

Melinda left not that long after we got there.. and bec and I left about halfa after that...

So we headed home.. having an uneventful night..........

Day 9

So...lets seee... what did we do today???

Ohhh yeah... Meagan had a MASSIVE hangover..(aww little meagan is all grown up)...I was feeling a bit seedy herself....as was bec... so we pretty much slept all day..While melinda went shopping all by her lonesome....

So Good news week was on... at 2pm AND 5pm.. thats right two shows.. cause you can never have enough Paul McDermott!!!!!! YUM YUM... the first one had Jason Byrne.. Reginald D Hunter..Cal Wilson.. and Arj Barker.... Jason Byrne totally stole the first show.. he was hilarious!!!!!! They show and hour on tv minus ads, but it went for like 2 and a half hours!!!! funny funny shit!!!

then on the second show was...Stephen K Amos, Mike Wilmont, Fiona O'Laughlin, Corrinne Grant....Ok so they did thins game where Mike and Stephen has to answer questions about each other... seems harmless.. but it turned into them ripping the shit out each other on topics which really had nothing to do with the questions that were being asked.... and was incredibly rude!!! None of which wil probably ever be seen on air... at least not at any early kind of time!!!!

Then we missioned it to Trades.... and went to watch Life on Mars... which was a tribute to David Bowie.. by heaps of well known musical comedians.... Althouh we were all a bit too tired for this so didnt make it to the very end...

We went home to sleep...

Thats was our very exciting Saturday!!!!

Woo Hoo!!!!!

Day 8

Ok so friday...... so we really should remember to this every night cause I am struggling to recall what we did....... it seriously feels like we have been here forever!!!

Ok so.... i think we yet again started the day shopping...(what a surprise)... and after clothes shopping we actually decided that we should eat a decent meal so we went shopping at Safeway... not woolies!!! (apparently no one can tell me why its a different name)... We spent like 350 dollars on some meals and then the rest coonsisted of chocolates, sugar, chips, dips, and pretty much anything else that we thought we may consider eating one night..( word to the wise... dont go shopping when you are hungry.. especially when you are with three other girls!!!!!)

So when we got back to the room, i of course decided that after a long day it was time for a nanna nap!!!

awakening hours later to find that safeway had not dropped off our food yet!!! 10 mins later we got a phone call saying that the guy was down stairs... so after going down the stairs to the bottom floor... we realised that the lifts on our building were broken and we could not get our groceries back up.... we waited and waited... and after 30 mins of waiting and reception not doing anything.... the lifts decided to work long enough for us to get our stuff up and inside.... then of course we were faced with the dilema of what to eat first!!!!!!

So tonights entertainment consisted of Me and Melinda going to the comedy loounge in North Melbourne.. which was a very long walk especially when we did not know to where to go...thought we were doing the right thing by asking for directions sowe didnt just walk around the streets... but when some freaky guy was tryingis to give us a lift we ran towards the closest taxi we could find.... Comedy Lounge had... Fox Klien....(yum yum).. Corrine Grant.. (punch her in the vag) and someone else that was really funny but i cant remember his name...

After Melinda forced me to drink from 2pm I was enjoying the night even more!!! And afterwards continued onto the Exford... which has totally become our after hours hang out...

Bec and Meagan decided to give the night life a go, so met up with some "friends" and went clubbing.... Fun..... but didnt last for too long as we got a phonecall saying..where are yous?? we want to party!!! So of course they came and joined us kool kids at the Exford..

Melinda of course didnt last too much longer as the night club scene really isnt her thing... so went home and me, bec and Meagan stayed to party on.... and party we did!!!!

I showed those girls how to party Amy style...lots and lots of drinking, dancing, meeting new people.... funnily enough there was more guys than girls!!!!!! Lets not go into too much detail of the rest of the night... only to say that it was incredibly funny...especially when Melinda starting yelling at us for being too loud when we came home at 430am.... If only she realised at the time how funny she was... though at the same time i was incredibly scared that she was really going to come out and kick my arse!!!!

Oh just another day in the life of BAMM!!!!!

Day 7

Ok....


Today I woke up the earliest out of everyone, so I then went on jumped on them all til they awoke so we could do something that we havent done yet.... SHOPPING!!!

yes, cause I am sure that we all definelty need more clothes... After walking to Southbank looking for shops we somehow just ended up eating in some fancy cafe that apparently had a refridgeration issue as none of our drinks were cold, but the food was great so we let it slip!!!

we walked past flinders station back towards the hotel..(after I stopped to take photos of the city from every different angle that I could find)..and went to Federation Square so I could get one of every single brochure that they had.. ( come you need to know all the options!!)..

We dropped Meagan off at home (cause she wimped out) and continued our shopping adventure..

We found the biggest SUPRE you have ever seen in your life... It was huge..picture all the ones in Newcastle then add another level!!!

Tried to buy grog but had an issue with a lady who wouldnt serve me as princess did not have her Id with her.... So we went to a diff shop who served me and didnt even ask for ID..you know cause I look so young and all...

We saw three shows ... Jeff Green... Funny F**cker!!! With a kool english accent!!!! Will Anderson... Who couldnt believe that werent more amazed by skpe ( what the??? )...and Ali McGregor's Late-Nite Variety... which had Asher Trevleaven's alter ego Saxon McCallister as her butler... "who is a strpping private dancer".. need we say more!!!! We were in the front row... got a view we will never forget... the special guests were.. Geraldine Quinn ( Hex and the City).. Die Roten Punkte..who were apparetnly a german rock band.. mmmm ok.. then Gypsy Wood who shocked the shit out of me... I cant even write what I saw...then Damien Callinan...

So, of course when we left me and princess were hungry.. (suprise suprise) so went walked home to start making 1am toasted tomato and cheese sandwiches!!! MMMMMMM.... Jealous Much..

Day 6

AMY DAY!!!!

Jaymie offered to pick Amy up from the Airport so she wouldn't have to catch a cab, which meant i got to meet her there and jump on her!! (Which I did).

It was all so very exciting. We came home and had some lunch and a nap and then we went out for dinner.(mmm food)

First show of the evening was The Axis of Awesome Vs The Bee. It was a "Comedy Rock Show". It was quite funny. And has us all singing "I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a plane, I'm a BIRDPLANE! A MOTHERF*#ING BIRDPLAANE!!"

I bought Darren an Axis of Awesome showbag. Its awesome.

Second show of the evening was Asher Treleaven - Open Door. Very, very funny man. He dances, he smashes pinatas, he sticks forks up his nose AND he downs Vodka Cruisers and then throws up!

Third and final show of the evening was Jaymie's show, The Night Cap, also featuring Mikey and Magesh (Whom Amy and Bec are fighting over coz he's a hottie).
We were on our way there when we were approached by Magesh who was trying to convince us to come see his show and said we could get in for free. We said 'Thanks! We were coming anyway! And we were gonna pay but since you offered..." He was like "DAMMIT!" hehehe


So we got in for free. It was very funny and entertaining. Afterwards we headed off to the Exford with Jaymie and Mikey (and some other guy). We hung around there for a bit til Amy and princess decided they wanted Hungry Jacks and we left.

"Interesting fact: Mikey is a Sydney comic just in Melbourne for the festival. Mikey is sharing a room with Daniel Townes (Mentioned in an earlier post"). So the latter part of the night was spent with Bec trying to think of ways to get Mikey to introduce her to Daniel. See i would have thought she just could have said "Hey Mikey, can you introduce me to Daniel?" But apparently thats too hard....

Day 5

Today we slept in. Again.
Then we went shopping. Again

We saw Tim Minchins show tonight. T'was Awesome. He had us all singing "I love Jesus"...which then warped into something completely different.

And then we went and saw Anyone For Tennis?. Best show ever! It was hilarious from start to finish and we are now all walking around singing. "I knew it. She knew it. We both knew! I
was trying to be OW!! FLIRTY!"

Bec got picked on in this show. She got asked by Doody what she thought of Jase (The guy from last night that she has the hots for), and all she could do was giggle and hide her head in her lap. Which of course made him pick on her more!!

Day 4

Today we went shopping! We went to the DFO for a bit of a browse. I bought a skirt and a jacket. And a powerade.....

Monday nights there are only a limited amount of shows on so we decided we'd go out for a nice dinner. So we got all dressed up and walked down to Southbank to see what was on offer.

We found a restaurant and ordered our food, and Meagan ordered a bottle of wine. (Just for her)

Meagan drank that entire bottle of wine. (By herself)

We then headed back to Town Hall to meet up with the lovely Erika. (Meagan stumbling on every third step)

We went upstairs to the bar and ordered some drinks. ( And me and Erika got chatted up by the Bartender AND JEFF GREEN!!! (Totally awesome, hilarious comedian))

We sat and drank and talked for a bit and decided we'd head up to the Exford for the After Party. So i downed what was left of my drink....and meagan attempted to do the same.... then all of a sudden she said " I need the bathroom" and jumped up quickly. Erika, being the nurse that she is, grabbed her and took her straight to the bathroom WHERE SHE THREW UP!!!!!!!!!

After Erika cleaned Meagan up (hehehe), we headed to The Exford. We got there a little early so we managed to actually get seats which was good. There were heaps of different acts, i can't remember any of there names but they were all hilarious. And Bec made an arse of herself when perving on one of the guys that was on stage... He was singing a song about flirting and being sexy and after he said some sexy line shes gone 'ooohhh'....Unfortunately for Bec there was a moment of silence in the room at the exact moment she made that noise, so heaps of people heard (including the guy on stage) and we all laughed at her.

In amongst all this, Meagan managed to fall asleep on the table for a bit.

It was quite a funny night and it was entirely FREE.


Oh and when we were heading out of the hotel sometime during the day we bumped into a comedian called Daniel Townes. (Whom Bec has the hots for). And she nearly died when she saw him. She nudged me and gestured towards him with her head. I said 'yes thats him'. And he said 'how ya goin?'. I think she frightened him. He looked quite scared. She looked like one of those freaky fan girls. Add to that the fact that she was staying in the same building as him, i'd be scared too.

On the way home Meagan and Bec decided they needed to steal a Josh Thomas poster. (Meagans boyfriend... oOoOoOooooh!)

Day 3

We didn't get out of bed til after lunchtime. Even then we just bummed around some more.

Tonight we saw The Great Debate (watch it on tele, we were in the second row, we are SO gonna be on television!)

Corrine Grant Hosted. The topic was "Money is the root of all evil".

Arguing for the Affirmative team were Paul McDermott, Arj Barker and Steven K Amos.

Arguing for the Negative team were Rich Hall, Janeane Garofolo and Jason Byrne.

There was burning currency, money raining from the ceiling, a whiteboard with incomprehensible writing on it, a human tree, a naked man (incidently it was the same naked man we saw on friday night), fake peninses with vcuum cleaners attached to the end, a camel (no seriously, a REAL camel), and a song and dance from Mr McDermott.

Paul's team won. Yay!

We are now off to see Ali McGregor's Late-Nite Variety Nite Night again...not sure whos on tonight, will post again later..

Day 2

Today we dragged our arses food shopping. We thought we better just get enough food to do us until Amy arrives next week. $200 later, we were done.

Then we came home and cooked nana spaghetti for lunch...mmmm nana spaghetti..

We then bummed around for another couple of hours then went to see Adam Hills. Funny, funny man! We laughed soooo hard we nearly cried. The title of his show was inflatable, which he dedicated to a friend of his that passed away last year.

Joke:

"Once upon a time there was an inflatable boy. And he went to an inflatable school where all the students were inflatable, the teachers were inflatable and even the buildings were inflatable. One day he got in trouble for taking a pin to school. The principal called him into his office and said to him 'Son, you've let yourelf down, you've let me down, in fact, you've let the whole school down...'"


Funny.... Anyway he was lovely...and we got a photo

Hey there all.... So even though I am not there yet, I took it upon myself to contribute.... since I am the A and the oldest of you all....

So lets see... how have a spent my time since I sulkily waved the B and the M and the M off in their LIMO!!!!!

I had a long quiet boring drive home... which consisted of me half way home going.. "holy shit its double demerit points" to which I slammed on the brake and drove super slow, which meant it took me even longer to get home.

I jumped into bed and got 4 hours sleep. This might not seem like alot to most people, but those of you who know me, are aware that I was pretty stoked by this.

I got up, and after bumming around the house feeling sorry for myself cause I was not in Melbourne yet, I made myself go for a lovely stroll around the walking path.... ok ok I will rephrase that..... I screamed at myself like a pyshco till I got my fat arse motivated and went for a 2 hour powerwalk trying to work off all the bad food I ate on Thrusday night... ( I dont think the midnight trip to Maccas helped the situation).

Funnily enough, this walk did motivate me so I decided to wash the pile of dirt sitting in my driveway.... which some would refer to as my car!!!! And after finding all the clothes and blankets and shoes that I have lost over the past couple of months I patted myself on the back for a job well done!!!

Sat consisted of.. " No I am sorry but that is all we have left" and me coming home to sit by myself.. watching some lame documentary and honey baddgers and making a pizza which I ate way too much of meaning that I need to go for another pyscho walk 2moz to work it all off.

Ok, So I promise that the next one will not be so whiny as I will be closer to joining the rest of the BAMM in Melbourne!!!!!

Oh and for the record..... My bed is the one that is currently being occupied by a laptop!!!!

Day 1

We arrived out our apartment at about 8.30am. And after we rearranged the furniture and unpacked (Note to Amy: Melinda has claimed ALL of the drawers in your room and does not intend on sharing...sorry), we fell asleep.

We woke up at about 11.30am and went to watch some tv. We lasted at least 10 mins before we went back to bed and slept for another two or three hours.

By the time when we emerged from our room it was 5pm. We went on a search for food and ended up at Subway. Then we headed down to Federation Square to watch The Big Laughout (which was free!).

Our first show was Mark Watson at 7pm. He was very funny and intrigued by the fact that all three of us were wearing hats (It was cold!)

Next we saw Jason Byrne at 9pm. F**ing hilarious! So funny we cried. He told a story of how when he was left minding his children (and 8 yr old and a 2 yr old), he put the 2 yr old to bed so he could watch the football. So the 8 yr old thought it would be funny to go get a massive jar of nutella, take the lid off, and place it in the 2 yr olds cot! When he went to check on the 2 yr old, he found him covered head to toe in nutella! Not wanting to miss the end of his game, but unable to leave him covered in chocolate spread, he decided to put him in the kitchen, let the dogs in, and shut the door.

When his wife came home she praised him for giving the child a bath because he looked so clean!

After Jason Byrne we went to see Ali McGregors Late-Nite Variety Nite Nite. Hosted by Ali McGregor with the help of her butler Saxon McAllister, it was a show consisting of special guests, stand up comedy, music and Strippers!!!

Special guests for the night were;

Deanne Smith (The racist homosexual)
Geraldine Quinn (Who is currently living with the housemate from hell)
Adam Hills (Who decided to set up 2 single people from the audience, giving them champagne and chocolates and singing them a lovely song entirely made up on the spot)
Birdman (The plastic bag juggling, chair balancing, crab walking stripper)

Very funny show.

We Made It! Hooray!!

We did it. We finally got here.

After a very sulky goodbye from Amy at 3am this morning, we boarded our limo to make our way to the airport. (Coz thats just how we roll). We all promptly fell straight to sleep, only waking to stickbeak at a rather bad car accident on the way. (It would appear the cars involved had been racing...One cars front bonnet was completely crushed and the other car was upside down!)

We arrived at the airport and checked in, only to find Princess would not be sitting with us on the plane! After some tears, and her flat out refusing to get on the plane, we managed to convince her she would be fine. (Until it was time to board the plane that is, at which time there were some more tears and some shaking).

Once she was on the plane and strapped in she was fine. (Thank god!)

Meagan got to sit next to this spunky guy who smelt lovely.... So she promptly fell asleep and stole all his leg room! (But he didn't seem to mind).

Oh and there was this really cool cloud that looked like a toad wearing a crown. I MAY have woken Meagan up just to show her......

Our apartment is pretty sweet. I'll take some photos soon. I have to go pass out from exhaustion now. Toodles. xoxo




P.S. I love you........
