April, 29 2007 at The Good Shepherd's Circus Pie @ The Corner Hotel
Swan Street, Richmond, Victoria
Cost : $15

The countdown is on to Melbourne’s newest gala community event, The Good Shepherd’s Circus Pie Classic, set to take to the stage at the Corner Hotel on Sunday 29 April 2007. This is how it works- we’ve conned 20 musos and radio heads to get into teams and “cook off” against each other, Iron Chef style. They’ll be assembling tasty dishes based on a secret ingredient, and judged on the culinary creativity and innovation whilst preserving the integrity of the food item… or (ahem), perhaps just producing something edible! The chef roll call is Scott Owen & Andy Strachan from The Living End, Died Pretty’s Ron Peno, Ally Spazzy, Rebecca Barnard, Macromantics, Dan Kelly, Angie Hart, Lindsay MacDougall (Frenzal Rhomb), Candy Bowers (Sista She), Bob Log III, Link Meanie, Lisa Miller, PBS’s Kene Lightfoot, Paddy Donovan (The Age) and RRR’s Holly C, Mia Dyson, & Dallas Crane front man Dave Larkin. And the judges are no light weights! Epicure’s John Lethlean, Mecca’s Cath Claringbold, & Andrew McConnell (Three One Two) will bravely sample the delicacies dished up by this Motley cooking crew. You’ll be kept well and truly on your toes with action updates from commentary panel Helen Razer (774), Clem Bastow (journo and all round tops chick), and Melbourne Food & Wine Festival’s creative director Matt Preston, plus behind the scenes catastrophe coverage picked up by our trusty ‘Food-cam’. Providing the backing tracks for this clash of cuisines, live music from 6 Ft Hick, Little Red and Wayfaring Strangers, plus The Meanies put the icing on the cake to wrap it all up at the end with some very special guests. Watching over proceedings are referees Jason ‘Evo’ Evans and Gabi (The Town Bikes). Ms Fat Booty will be dropping in to do something exquisite on wheels, as will Monkey Brigade (Sassy, wild Hip Hop dance outfit), plus rock toones from Joelistics (TZU) and DJ Mary M, as well as formidable judging theme music from BlackMamaWhitePapa (Crazy Baldheads). It’s a party, it’s a circus, and it’s all for the kids. Our extensive cast are doing it for nicks, and you can do your bit too! Buying a ticket and having a Fosters bevvie contributes to helping our friends at Good Shepherd Youth and Family Service, a highly respected grassroots community service organisation serving the needs of Melbourne’s young people, women and families living under the burden of poverty and disadvantage. So get it on! Sunday 29th April at The Corner Hotel, doors 4pm. Tickets $15 + BF and available at the Corner Box Office, phone 3 9427 9198 or www.cornerhotel.com

[Deadcat Kaye]

[mel_bound]

I'll be there with bells on :P

haha Mel, we are headin down to channel 10 studios sometime before the gig and gettin Sandra Sally to say something to Andy (probly on phone of mp3) haha...wanna go?

Oh hell yeah I'm there! I think it's overage or something though, would we be allowed in?

[Deadcat Kaye]

I'm sure we'll be able to drag Laurens mumsy along :P
Haha I guess we'll go one weekend to try and find her haha...Is she on holiday atm?
I'm assuming she might go to the Channel 10 studios before 10.30 haha

[mel_bound]

She did the late news tonight... haha. Dunno if she'd be in in the morning though.

[Bec]

I'm sure we'll be able to drag Laurens mumsy along :P

I'm pretty sure you have to be over 18 regardless of whether you have a parent or guardian but it can't hurt to ask.

[Deadcat Kaye]

I'm pretty sure we would go mid arvo to late arvo haha...

I'm pretty sure you have to be over 18 regardless of whether you have a parent or guardian but it can't hurt to ask.

haha they didn't have a problem at the FGH...but every pubs different AND I've already emailed them :P

[Colezy]

Haha, sounds good! :D
I wonder what their "secret ingredient" will be?? :p Someone needs to film this! haha

[Grumma]

if it's at the Corner you need to be over 18 regardless of whether your guardians are with you.

I found out the hard way 2 years ago when I went to see my friends play

*edit* although if it starts at 4 you could be alright.
Most places don't enforce overageness till 8 onwards

[Deadcat Kaye]

*edit* although if it starts at 4 you could be alright.
Most places don't enforce overageness till 8 onwards


Yayaness! haha

Bec...Don't you have a 'camcorder' thingo :P

[Grumma]

It’s a party, it’s a circus, and it’s all for the kids.

You'd think that'd suggest underage people would be allowed in

Although . . .

(All shows are 18+ except if otherwise indicated)

[kelso]

I feel stupid now
I thought this was a gig, instead of a food fest haha

wait, im confused, what is this event? XD
is it really a food fest or a paragraph of poor puns?

[Deadcat Kaye]

I feel stupid now
I thought this was a gig, instead of a food fest haha

wait, im confused, what is this event? XD
is it really a food fest or a paragraph of poor puns?

I think it's like a cook off....With people from an assortment of bands haha
haha maybe some live music I dunno...

[Colezy]

Yep, its a cook off for teams of two made up from Aussie bands and radio personailities. As far as I can tell, they get a secret ingredient and have to cook something which they will be judged on.
There will be entertainment too, to keep people happy :)

[Neo]

hehehe that looks like it's going to be fun! just as long as there is no cheesy american commentary :p

[kelso]

haha ok thanks
well im sure Andy's going to do swell
I hear he's hot in the kitchen ;)

[Grumma]

According to the Corner's site it's gonna be live DJs predominantly

[worry_rock]

15 bucks? *whinges* I'm brooooooooke.

[Grumma]

You could afford an Iced Coffee!

:p

Oh yeah . . .
GET A JOB YOU BUM!

[Deadcat Kaye]

According to the Corner's site it's gonna be live DJs predominantly

damn...Djs...That'll go down well with TLE fans haha

[Grumma]

Well there's 2 rock bands and then the rest were like "dance" and stuff so yeah . ..

pretty much just DJ music I'd say

[Deadcat Kaye]

haha that'll go down well with mum
"btw there will be doof doof music on pretty much the whole time"

[Grumma]

Haha.

Although a few places have been playing remixes of old rock songs, and then just old rock songs in general.

Heck, I've heard that some places are playing Rage Against the Machine songs.
And I'd rather techno then 2000s pop music

[Deadcat Kaye]

if they start playing doof doof then I'll tell them that Andy and Scott says it needs to be turned off :P they needs to concentrate

[Outlaw Love Song]

I like Shepherd's Pie.... I will get one for lunch tomorrow.

[Deadcat Kaye]

I like Shepherd's Pie.... I will get one for lunch tomorrow.

That is such a high achievment :p

[Ally]

Man, I so wanna go to this.

[cdejonge]

Just saw this on myspace and read through this thread.

So pretty much TLE aren't doing a live set or anything? I'll probably only go if they're playing at least a couple of songs. May be a while until you can see TLE for this price again.

[Grumma]

Well Chris isn't going to be there full stop

[Ally]

I don't think any of the bands will actually be performing, will they?

I'm only going for the Dave + Dan eye candy. Whoa baby. :D

[Kev]

I might have to check this out.

[Deadcat Kaye]

I'm in the process of persuading my mum to go :p

[Grumma]

Ahhh . . .

The drawbacks of not being 18 :p

[AlinaPOW]

Me and Ally went in there today, strictly no U18's. Sucks. Scotty, Andy and Dave. GAH!

[Grumma]

Yeah that sounds just about right for the Corner

[AlinaPOW]

yeah i didn't have high hopes but it's pretty dissapointing. Ah well, my day'll come I s'pose...

[mel_bound]

Dang, I'm still gonna go hang outside beforehand, a photo or something.. and then peering through the window :p

[Deadcat Kaye]

I feel bloody special then haha...
I'm aloud to get in with a parent, they made an acception for me haha

[AlinaPOW]

heh heh, hoping for the old sneak-in-a-roonie? Maybe if me and Ally pull some water pistols on Dave again...? :p

[AlinaPOW]

'Sif they did!!!???

[Deadcat Kaye]

'Sif they did!!!???

Voila

Hi Amy,
Unfortunately we are unable to allow anyone under the age of 18 into the band room (where the cook off will be held) as proof of age identification is required from all patrons upon entry into the venue. HOWEVER, we are willing to make an exception for you. The conditions are that you must come with a parent and be under their supervision for the duration of the event.

[AlinaPOW]

Oooooooooh. Ooooooooh. LAME.

[Deadcat Kaye]

Well I'm having trouble persuding my mum so maybe someone will probly have to take my spot..
:( for me but :D for them

[AlinaPOW]

Ally's mum'll go no problems whatsoever!

[Bec]

I sent them an email hoping they might send me the same reply but I've got nothing so far :(

[Deadcat Kaye]

Ally's mum'll go no problems whatsoever!

I might have to borrow ally's mum then;) :p

[AlinaPOW]

Piss off, she's my borrowed mum!

[Deadcat Kaye]

haha okay, i'll borrow someobe else's :p

[AlinaPOW]

damn right.

[RollOn]

You're not borrowing my mum Amy :p
Not this time anyway, as much fun as mum had with 3 "daughters" at Ferntree Gully they wouldn't let us all in.

[Deadcat Kaye]

You're not borrowing my mum Amy :p
Not this time anyway, as much fun as mum had with 3 "daughters" at Ferntree Gully they wouldn't let us all in.

haha no they wouldn't....I've already tried :P

[Ally]

Voila

Seriously, WHAT THE FUCK? Turns out my mum rang them the other day and she said no, even with a guardian, and that's exactly what Llama and I were told yesterday. My mum really WANTS to go to this.

Bastards.

[Grumma]

Maybe they're struggling for numbers?

[cdejonge]

Even with strictly 18+ events, you sometimes hear about U18s getting in, but I wouldn't risk it (especially at Corner) unless somebody has told you definitely that you can get in.

I guess if you can't get in, you can always go to Curry Munchers :p Avoid the chicken/hamburger place shop across the road. When I ordered something there before a gig once, the guy serving me had sweat pouring off him.

[Grumma]

Yeah some places just don't care; and just use "18+" to scare all the little kiddies off.

But like I've said about 5 times in this thread; The Corner is one of the more strict places going around

[Kacky]

That's when fake IDs come in handy.

[Grumma]

They have to be very good to get into the Corner.

I'm afraid to go there even with my drivers lisense cos the colour in the background is a bit dodgy

[cdejonge]

The Palace is pretty strict with ID too. I know somebody who almost wasn't let in once.

[Grumma]

Haha that reminds me; girl at work, for her sisters 18th they went to Dakota and her sister didn't get in :p

[cdejonge]

Haha that reminds me; girl at work, for her sisters 18th they went to Dakota and her sister didn't get in :pThe fact that they wanted to go to Dakota is funny enough. :p Suprised they'd turn anyone away there.

[Grumma]

Haha.

I wouldn't laugh though; Jennifer Hawkins has been there .. .
More than once!

[cdejonge]

Yeah, she's a bogan too :)

[Grumma]

Looks nice in a thong but :p

[Ally]

I've had a few gigs that I found out AFTER that you were allowed in with a guardian, so now I always check with the venue before hand. It doesn't fuss me, normally my mum comes to gigs with me anyway. I don't see why Amy was told she was allowed in with a guardian when we were told we weren't. Obviously they arn't very strict if they're willing to "make an exception".

[Grumma]

Yeah that's a bit odd . . .

[Ally]

I'm just pissed off that they're willing to bend the rules for some people but not others.

[Grumma]

Yeah.

She could've had a different person authorise it to the one your mum got on the phone. Few different possibilities

[Ally]

Maybe, the lady I spoke to said "We have people ask us that all the time" and mum said she said the same thing to her. But still, it shouldn't depend on who you ask, rules are rules.

[Grumma]

Aye that they are.

Though it would be kinda funny if she turned up and they don't let her in :p

[Ally]

If it turns out that they do let underagers in, I'm going to be very, very annoyed. I already am, but I'll just be even-more-so.

[Outlaw Love Song]

Dakota. Classy :rolleyes:

Why don't people just wait til they turn 18?

[mel_bound]

Because this cookoff thing isn't going to wait until we're 18?

[Grumma]

Why don't people just wait til they turn 18?

Because people are impatient; which is almost half the reason we have age restrictions in the first place

[cdejonge]

Aye that they are.

Though it would be kinda funny if she turned up and they don't let her in :pThat's a possibility. At RHCP, we got little cards with our tickets saying we could bring picnic rugs, etc. Then at the show, security guards were saying you couldn't bring them in. Inconsistency shits me.

[mel_bound]

Get off your high horse and accept some underage people like music and bands as much as overagers do :mad:

*edit* not directed at cam!

[Outlaw Love Song]

What high horse? I can accept that music is for everybody cos everybody digs it in one way or another. If I didn' believ that I'd probably start turning by back on bands I have always loved becase they are too popular, mainstream etc. But I don't.

The thing that pisses me off is that whenever something like this comes up theres all these half baked ideas being brandied about as to how underagers can get in.

Sure, if its within the boundaries of whats acceptable with events like this then fair play to you. Someone got into the Good Friday benefit that the Runaway Boys were playin beacause they were accompanied by a parent/guardian and someone was told they can come to the cook off if they were supervised by their parent/gardian over the course of the evening.

If you are in a position where you can get in and enjoy yourself then you've earnt it and fair play to you.

But really, how many of these "ideas" for getting/sneaking in actually come to fruition? Do people even make the effort to turn up?

[Neo]

The reason there are over 18's event's is simple. Adults like to socialize with other adults, and in doing that alot of these adults like to drink alcohol whilst being there. To drink alcohol they must purchase it there as pretty much all places won't let you bring your own. To buy alcohol, the venue must sell it and in order to sell it they need a licence and this licence prevents u18's from being in the areas that are selling alcohol, reguardless of wherther they are with a parent or not, because anyone can just walk up to the bar and buy a drink. If they get caught with u18's in there they could loose their licence - which (at the most extreme of things) could mean no more shows. That is also why some gigs are "licenced all ages" - because they go out of their way to get another licence which allows this and that's why over 18's have wristbands and things to show that they are over 18 but venues don't want to do this all the time because adults need adult time and sometimes they do and say things that kids/teens shouldn't see/hear (which is why movies and tv programs have age restrictions too). How annoying are little kids who run around screaming in a restaurant? very annoying. Adults find under 18's annoying at shows in the same way. When you turn 18, you'll realise why you weren't allowed to go because you'll see how the 15 year olds really are, and even though you may not think you're an annoying teenager, but who's to say that others wont find you annoying? Not only that but kids get bored and tired easier and then they get grumpy. Nobody likes a grumpy kid.

[mel_bound]

So true.

Someone got into the Good Friday benefit that the Runaway Boys were playin beacause they were accompanied by a parent/guardian.. that was me and Lauren and Amy :p

A group of us is going to turn up, and I'm pretty sure I didn't mention anything to do with a half baked idea to get in, although someone emailed the venue and they gave her permission. I'm going to turn up, and if they let us in then hooray, if not i'm going to hang around anyway. I'm just completely pissed off that people like me and all my friends who are underage have to constantly miss out on awesome events like this because other people drink.
Sorry that my attack was pretty dumb and not-based-on-much (although I was aiming it more towards Grumma) I'm just pissed off.

[Jawn]

I'm just completely pissed off that people like me and all my friends who are underage have to constantly miss out on awesome events like this because other people drink.


Deal with it. We all had to wait until we turned 18 to get into gigs. Hell, I can't go to many bars and pubs and gigs at all even though Im over the limit because a lot of the venues allow smoking, which is bad for my lungs. You don't hear me sooking about it, and I'm permitted by law to be at these events.

We are allowed to drink and do our thing and not have under-age people there. You have no right to be pissed off.

[cdejonge]

I'd prefer people didn't drink, but there's no law against that, I'm outnumbered and I'm over 18 anyway :p

I really hope they ban smoking soon though. And ban it everywhere.

[Grumma]

Hence why I mentioned impatience before Jawn :p

[Jawn]

Yeah, I was actually agreeing with you for once Grumma. I'm afraid too :p

[Grumma]

Damn kiddies and their over enthusiasm to grow up!

[mel_bound]

You have no right to be pissed off.

I have no energy to be bothered talking about this further. I have every right to be pissed off, just because you don't get sooky about something doesn't mean I'm not allowed to.

Pissed off teenagers
Deal with it.

[cdejonge]

Emos :p Joking.

Let's reignite the elite arguments shall we? :p

[Grumma]

I have no energy to be bothered talking about this further. I have every right to be pissed off, just because you don't get sooky about something doesn't mean I'm not allowed to.

Pissed off teenagers
Deal with it.

And you wonder why you don't get any respect?

[mel_bound]

And you wonder why you don't get any respect?

Not really no.

[AlinaPOW]

The thing that pisses me off is that whenever something like this comes up theres all these half baked ideas being brandied about as to how underagers can get in.


Heh heh, like some of those pies are gonna be :D

This sounds like just about the funnest thing I can think of but if I can't get in, I can't get in. We're spoilt down here as it is so missing out on this, I dunno, it's just not worth everyone getting hot under the collar about.

[Jawn]

Pissed off teenagers
Deal with it.

You see, we shouldn't have to deal with your brattiness and self-indulgence all the time. That's why we don't want you at our shows.


Stay at home and play Monopoly.

[cdejonge]

I like Monopoly :)

[AlinaPOW]

Noone'll ever play it with me :(

[Grumma]

Monopoly is fun :)

[mel_bound]

This sounds like just about the funnest thing I can think of but if I can't get in, I can't get in. We're spoilt down here as it is so missing out on this, I dunno, it's just not worth everyone getting hot under the collar about.

I just hate that overagers are usually so condecending towards someone who isn't a certain number or age or whatever.

[Grumma]

That's cos age groups are like the easiest thing ever to stereo-type.

And you really aren't doing anything to disprove that theory

[AlinaPOW]

Not really, most folk I know are pretty sympathetic. And, heh, the number of sneak in offers I've had in the last few months from various bands, what a great example :p

[Outlaw Love Song]

That's cos age groups are like the easiest thing ever to stereo-type.



Nah. There more fun things to stereotype out there.

[Grumma]

But age groups are pretty easy

"babies"
"terrible twos"
"adolescents"
"grown ups"
"old people"

[AlinaPOW]

name one!!

[mel_bound]

But age groups are pretty easy

"babies"
"terrible twos"
"adolescents"
"grown ups"
"old people"Yeah and what are you grumma? I honestly would pin you as a young adolescent. I only know you're older than me because you crashed your car and then went on to brag about it constantly. Real mature Bradley.

Not really, most folk I know are pretty sympathetic. And, heh, the number of sneak in offers I've had in the last few months from various bands, what a great example :p

you know lots of cool people though :p

[Grumma]

Yeah and what are you grumma? I honestly would pin you as a young adolescent.

Well no shit :rolleyes:

[Jawn]

I just hate that overagers are usually so condecending towards someone who isn't a certain number or age or whatever.

We aren't condensending at all. Its just a simple fact. This is for people over 18. You are under 18. You can't go. There's a lot of things people can't do and they just have to deal with it. Like murder. You aren't allowed to murder. So people who want to murder have to deal with the fact they aren't allowed to. Hell, if we were allowed everything we wanted, I would be riding a T-Rex naked down Bourke Street yelling out "EVERYBODY DO THE DINOSAUR DANCE". But I can't have a T-rex. So I gotta deal with it and cope.

You see, you can't always get what you want. If you could, life would be boring anyway.

[Outlaw Love Song]

name one!!


Men with pink shirts and the collar turned up and Beckham mohawks....commonly pigeonholed as meterosexuals.

*nods*

[Outlaw Love Song]

you can't always get what you want.

Ah...automatic disqaulification due to it's involvement with "The Big Chill"...

[mel_bound]

You see, you can't always get what you want.
YOU SEE!? That's the condesceding tone I'm talking about. Talking down to me as if I'm an idiot.

But I'm going along anyway, with $15, incase they do let me in.

[Grumma]

*sigh*

There are some sad sad people here.
If you want to watch someone cook tune into Jamie's Kitchen!

[Outlaw Love Song]

This thread added a further 2 pages after my rant...I love a good can of worms! :D

[Outlaw Love Song]

If you want to watch someone cook tune into Jamie's Kitchen!

Pfffft.....I can't imagine anything worse! Fucking Mockney!

[Grumma]

Fine then; the Iron Chef :p

That aside I can think of 100 things better to do then going to watch a few people cook

[mel_bound]

This thread added a further 2 pages after my rant...I love a good can of worms! :D

haha yeah, and it's only a few days old too.

[Outlaw Love Song]

Fine then; the Iron Chef :p



Hell yeah! Iron Chef fucking rocks!

[AlinaPOW]

EXTREME. Every christmas I ask for a dinosaur. EVERY Christmas. Never have I even recieved one of those blow up dinosaurs. I'm so not helping in this argument :p

[Jawn]

YOU SEE!? That's the condesceding tone I'm talking about. Talking down to me as if I'm an idiot.

But I'm going along anyway, with $15, incase they do let me in.

For fucks sake, I was quoting a Rolling Stones song for shits and giggles, don't be so fucking precious.

Here's another can of worms (man, I love stirring shit). If you want people to stop treating you like a child and not talk down to you, maybe its time you actually stopped being so childish? But whatever, take your 15 bucks and sit outside in the cold sooking about how the world hates you because you are little.

I'd just watch Iron Chef instead. Man that show rocks. One time, they cooked lobster, and they sliced the lobster in half whilst it was alive. And they did a close-up of the lobster being sliced in half. And when it got sliced in half, it was still wriggling for a bit. Hahahahaha. Quality tv.

[Jawn]

EXTREME. Every christmas I ask for a dinosaur. EVERY Christmas. Never have I even recieved one of those blow up dinosaurs. I'm so not helping in this argument :p

Shut up and stop being so reasonable and level-headed, child :p

[Grumma]

Comic relief at its best Alina :p

Hahaha. That is so cliche'd. I expected more of you Jawn.

[AlinaPOW]

yeah you won't get that kind of scene at a pie cook off

[AlinaPOW]

Comic relief at its best Alina :p

Yeah I do what I can :D

[Grumma]

I lol at Mel's post.

And you're doing a very good job Alina :)
kudos to you

[AlinaPOW]

Hahaha. That is so cliche'd. I expected more of you Jawn.

You would? Sounded just about right to me...

[Grumma]

my respect/outlook on you has improved way much in this thread

[AlinaPOW]

The thing is, this discussion/argument has happened in SO many threads SO many times, it's getting old

[Grumma]

Bit like me ^_^

ish . . .

[mel_bound]

The thing is, this discussion/argument has happened in SO many threads SO many times, it's getting oldYeah I don't know why I'm bothering.

[AlinaPOW]

my respect/outlook on you has improved way much in this thread

Okaaaaaaaay, yay??

[Jawn]

Hahaha. That is so cliche'd. I expected more of you Jawn.

I'm sorry. Next time I'll run my post through the cliche-dar to make sure what I say isn't cliche'd beyond belief.

How would you like me to say "Grow the fuck up" in a more creative manner? I'm a bit low on the creative juices today. The juicer broke and sprayed Grapefruit juice everwhere. But not in my eyes. Which is kinda funny, because thats the place everyone bitches about Grapefruit juice going in the first place.

[mel_bound]

You're making me hungry.

Grow the fuck up is good though. The thing is, if I was grown up I'd be able to go to the gig and I wouldn't be complaining about not being able to go.

[Grumma]

Okaaaaaaaay, yay??

Nah, it's just that I was expecting you to side with moaning Mel and her view that it isn't fair that she wasn't born 2 years earlier

[AlinaPOW]

Haha! Oh I'm a tad annoyed but I'm also over it, I know nothings gonna change. Not to mention all the rad shit that's happened over the last few months!

[Grumma]

Yeah well there's not much they can do bout it really.
You wanna go to 18+ stuff go to the Federal Government and get the constitution (or whatever law it's under) changed

[damo0945]

I'd prefer people didn't drink, but there's no law against that, I'm outnumbered and I'm over 18 anyway :p

I really hope they ban smoking soon though. And ban it everywhere.

they are aren't they? (banning smoking)

[Outlaw Love Song]

Yep......start of July i think?

[Neo]

*sigh*

There are some sad sad people here.
If you want to watch someone cook tune into Jamie's Kitchen!

or better yet, come to my house and watch ME cook :cool: Real life Jamie's kitchen :p
you can watch at all different angles, and even participate when required and you have all the wonderful aromas it would be like smellevision!

[Colezy]

I want smellevision! :p

I think many...most(?) people go through the stage of wanting to be over 18 when they've still got a few years to go. It's pretty much a fact of life that it happens.
You can't change it, so get over it people. (Mel, that was in no way directed specifically at you :))



This thing isn't been shown on TV at all, is it??

[Ally]

I don't know if people are thinking that I'm one of those kids who's pissed off at not being old enough. I hardly ever get worked up about not being old enough to go to a gig. The lady at the Corner box office told us we weren't allowed in and I accepted that. I'm annoyed that the venue is letting an underager in and saying no to the others.

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

they are aren't they? (banning smoking)

From 1 July 2007 you won’t be able to smoke in enclosed licensed premises (including gaming rooms) and some outdoor dining or drinking areas.

I really can't wait for that. I got used to smoking being banned in Queensland and since I've moved to Victoria, its kind of annoyed me. On Saturday night I had to go outside for air about five times. I suppose sitting at a table with 3 smokers and myself didn't help much. I also hate smelling like smoke when you get home. It was awesome in Queensland because that grossness was pretty much completely eliminated. Anyway, hooray for 1 July!

[Kacky]

Here in Canada, well, Ontario at least, we've had smoking banned in indoor public places for maybe a couple years (?) or so. Whenever I go over to the States, and sit in a restuarant, I get so grossed out because I'm not used to the smoking inside thing.

[Colezy]

I'm annoyed that the venue is letting an underager in and saying no to the others.
Yeah, that would piss me off - heaps.


Tassie are way ahead of the rest of Aus. We banned smoking in pubs/clubs etc on Jan 1st 2006. That's how good we are. :p

[AlinaPOW]

You guys are goooood.

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

The way queensland did it was good. They phased it out gradually. Here's the fabulous timeline.

[AlinaPOW]

Oh wow, you actually found the timeline.

[Grumma]

I really can't wait for that. I got used to smoking being banned in Queensland and since I've moved to Victoria, its kind of annoyed me. On Saturday night I had to go outside for air about five times. I suppose sitting at a table with 3 smokers and myself didn't help much. I also hate smelling like smoke when you get home.

Yeah I went to the Manhattan hotel last night and I can still smell smoke.

[Deadcat Kaye]

haha I went to the runaway boys gig at FGH and dad thought I had been out smoking coz of how bad I smelt of smoke...It'll be good when they ban smokin:)

[Grumma]

Well whenever mum picked me up from Croydon station she used to ask the same til I started getting pissed off with her asking :p

[Deadcat Kaye]

bahaha Croydon station, crap station... nearly as bad as ringwood

you 18, why is your mum still picking you up?
where's ya car?!

[Grumma]

"picked"

Past tense ;)

[cdejonge]

Probably because he rolled his car.

[Colezy]

Not every 18 year old has a car either.

[Grumma]

Quit living in the past Cam!
Tomorrow is today!

*edit*
you do if you live around our area :p

[Deadcat Kaye]

Not every 18 year old has a car either.

haha it's easy as pie to get a cheap car....

I got a lovely old kingswood about 3 weeks ago for a whopping $400 :p

And then last week my mum got a car (that is roadworthy and runs fine) for $200

[Colezy]

Your mum isn't 18.
And I wouldn't buy a car for $400 either! :p

I think I payed $1400 for mine. It's pretty much dead at the moment though :(

[Grumma]

I payed $11,000 for mine, and still had $1,000 left over :D

[Deadcat Kaye]

I'm 15 and I got a car:p

Why not get it fixed? haha

[Colezy]

I am. But it's going to cost too much to fix it completely so I'm saving that money plus more to get a new car.

[Sarah]

oh man the first 5 cars I had cost way under $1000 each. I am a povo though.

[Colezy]

Haha! :p

It's going to cost me nearly a grand just to fix mine, so there isn't much point cause its pretty old. It only just gets me to work and back.


Does anyone know if this event is an annual thing or just a one off??

[cdejonge]

I payed $11,000 for mine, and still had $1,000 left over :DI paid more and had more leftover, but I'm not gonna brag about it. Wait, I just did.

[Grumma]

You paid more for your rice box?

:confused:

[cdejonge]

You paid more for your rice box?

:confused:Yep, got about a $3,000 discount on it when it was new. Hasn't cost me anything since apart from petrol, oil, oil filters, air filter, spark plugs and one set of tyres (just the things you have to replace).

[tbwf]

ha...bob log III

[Deadcat Kaye]

Cook off was probly the best night I've ever had :D

We actually got in, no hassles at all, Mel, Me and Lauren all got in, and got dinner by Scott and Andy haha

[Grumma]

Yep, got about a $3,000 discount on it when it was new. Hasn't cost me anything since apart from petrol, oil, oil filters, air filter, spark plugs and one set of tyres (just the things you have to replace).

Yeah my car should be the same.

So long as I don't crash it of course :p

[mel_bound]

TONIGHT WAS REALLY REALLY GOOD

Me, Lauren and Amy strolled right in and no-one asked for ID or anything. You'll hear fragments of the night's story around the forum :p

[RollOn]

Indeed you certainly will. Man their cooking tastes so good, they can come and cook for me anytime ;)
Those judges were getting so annoyed that we got fed first haha

And Mel, mum's still laughing at the chef hat!

[Deadcat Kaye]

haha I love it...
"Wok 'n' Woll"

and then Andy...
'Nice Chicken'

Man I have so many photos...but some are Blurry:(
But still good haha

[mel_bound]

I'm shaking!

[kelso]

[RollOn]

Chicken and corn soup and then mars bar bananas *drools* I want more narnies!!

[damo0945]

there was a picture in a paper of andy for this, with one of the spazzys (kat?) and someone else i think, come to think of it i think it was in the age "eg" last week, not sure tho

[mel_bound]

Scotty made some chicken and corn soup. He gave us the saucepan to eat from! :D
Andy made some gyozas, which were spicy!
After that was the dessert round, Scott made a delightful smoking face
http://img105.imageshack.us/img105/662/bananafacegr7.jpg
(the cigarette was removed before they handed it to the little kids to eat)
and Andy made some 'mars-bar-nanas' which were banana slices with a circle cut out of the middle with a circle of mars bar in its place, cooked on a frying pan in kaluha.
OH MY GOD THEY WERE SO FUCKING GOOD.
YEAH
THEY KEPT HANDING THE FOOD TO US
COZ US AND TLE ARE LIKE THIS!
*crosses fingers*

[kelso]

ooh sounds yummy

I want a mars-bar-nana! oooh

[Colezy]

and Andy made some 'mars-bar-nanas' which were banana slices with a circle cut out of the middle with a circle of mars bar in its place, cooked on a frying pan in kaluha.
Sounds so yum! :)

Do you know how much kaluha was used and how long it was cooked for? Oh man. I really want to make some now! :p

[Deadcat Kaye]

bahaha I'm so proud that I should write it on my forehead...
Can't wait to go to school tomorrow and just brag and gloat :D

[kelso]

bahaha I'm so proud that I should write it on my forehead...
Can't wait to go to school tomorrow and just brag and gloat :D

thats the way to do it:D

[Deadcat Kaye]

this will be the only time I want to go to school...
man those mars bar-nanas were just gold...He said he only made the recipe up during the week haha

[kelso]

really?
what a brilliant chef! haha

I can see it now..

'A Strachan Original! Mars-Bar-Nana!'
woo :D

[mel_bound]

Do you know how much kaluha was used and how long it was cooked for? Oh man. I really want to make some now! :p
It was maybe a few minutes a side? No idea about the amount... yummmmmmm.

ooh sounds yummy
be proud ladies, there's so many kids around the world right now that would love to have Andy and Scott feed them XDMan, there aren't many people alive who can say that! :D

[RollOn]

Man, there aren't many people alive who can say that! :D

Ah yes, but we can! And we got a damn good feed too. I'm so glad they let us in, 'twas a great night.

[Ally]

Well that's gotta be the biggest fucking load of shit ever. No point dwelling on the past though, I suppose.

[Watty]

Sounds so yum! :)

Do you know how much kaluha was used and how long it was cooked for? Oh man. I really want to make some now! :p

Pfft just pour the whole bottle in! :p

[RollOn]

Hahaha there was a fair bit being used from what I could see!
I'm nagging mum to buy me bananas now :p

[Kacky]

Damn, those sound good.

My mom buys bananas all the time...and I saw a bottle of Kaluha at my dad's house. Do you think he'd notice if I take it from him? Probably!

[Deadcat Kaye]

Well for Heat 2 (the one they were in)
they got 30 minutes to cook something up,
then for the finally they had 15 minutes to make dessert

bahahaha Chocolate buttholes....

[RollOn]

It was chocolate bumholes actually :p
And I could really go some chicken and corn soup right now.

[Deadcat Kaye]

bahaha NICE CHICKEN!

fine....Those chocolate BUMholes were nice :D

[Kimjar]

Glad you kids had fun. The actual event itself was pretty boring we thought, though Kristen, Hugo and Luke kept me entertained with antics and such. Could have been organised a hell of a lot better, but oh well. Good to see the boys, been a while. Harvey is bloody gorgeous, I wanna take him home.

That breast milk thing was fricken disgusting. I felt sorry for the judge lady, she looked like she was gonna blow chunks everywhere after that.

[mel_bound]

The TLE guys kept us pretty occupied haha. Scott said to us afterwards that he purposefully made 4 servings of his soup, one for each of the judges and one for us :D they're so awesome

And for the milk think, yeah, eewww.

[Deadcat Kaye]

Haha that Monkey Brigade were really 'different' haha

When Harvey was up saying hi to Scott, he had his hands up near scotts knife (while Scott was using it) haha and I was worried scott might slip and get his tiny fingers

[mel_bound]

He was being super careful.. except when he was flicking spring onion at us :p

[RollOn]

haha those spring onions were funny as. Every now and then there was random spring onions flying at us :p

That breast milk thing was so disgusting, so glad I didn't get any of that team's food!
And yes, little Harvey is so cute. Scott's wife is really nice too :)

[Deadcat Kaye]

I believe I got 2 things thrown at my by Scott haha
1st was the onion then the banana...yummy haha

ZOMG!
They put up the recipe for the soup!
Hooray

Although something tells me it won't be as good as Scott's was:p

[mel_bound]

He threw banana at me first! :p

[Deadcat Kaye]

haha He misjudged how far it was for your dad and my head got in the way:p
I finally put up some photo's on my myspace:D

[E.B.]

Was Chris at this cookoff?

[mel_bound]

Nope, he was in shitney for some MTV music awards

[E.B.]

Wow poor guy...

[Deadcat Kaye]

Was he there just to watch it or because he's gunna be in it?

Thank you to me for askin Andy :p

[RollOn]

Credit to me for reminding Andy of the corny thing he wrote on the back of my t-shirt!
So many lame jokes from that. Hahaha lollipop man.

I'm gonna try making that soup, but remember that it must be consumed from the pan with a ladle!

[AlinaPOW]

STOP REMINISCING!!! JUST STOP!!! Haha, nah, keep going. That's freakin' rad. I'm so jealous. I was s'posed to be going to the city too and then I got cancelled on and I'm just sitting there at home the whole day thinking "I SWEAR there something fun on today!" Damn!

How were the bands?
And, no one happened to pay any attention to Dave Larkin did they??

[mel_bound]

And, no one happened to pay any attention to Dave Larkin did they??

We saw him out the back beforehand, we got a very royal wave from him! haha. His team won their heat, but not the final. I dunno what any of the other teams cooked though :p
The bands were pretty good too, great to bop along to while slicing up chicken haha.

and now you know the rest of the story! (http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&blogID=259274482&Mytoken=17A01620-FEE8-450F-B51C10A2A5DF67A461782734)

[Deadcat Kaye]

I got 2 photo's of the dude from dallas crane...and others in team 2 haha
Here's some more photos!
You shoulda seen the concentrationg on Scotts face while making this haha
http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q42/AmyKaye17/ScottsCreation.jpg

Better (then Mel's :P) photo of Andy seeing how the foods going :P
http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q42/AmyKaye17/hahaAndy.jpg

I believe he has his fantastic smily face banana plate in his hand haha
http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q42/AmyKaye17/Nicephotoofscott.jpg

One of the most funniest things i've ever seen on a train
http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q42/AmyKaye17/Fuckyouhaha.jpg


EDIT: I loved the Jazz band that was on while they were making Dessert!

[Ally]

"The dude from Dallas Crane" You sir, need a lesson in rock royalty.

Care to share these pictures?

[Grumma]

Pfft just pour the whole bottle in! :p

That's no fun.

Just drink the damn stuff

[mel_bound]

I haven't got many photos of people who aren't Scott or Andy :p

Circus Pieee (http://s154.photobucket.com/albums/s269/circuspie/Circus%20Pie/)

[Ally]

Eh, thanks anyway Mel! I'm still extremely pissed off at the Corner and their shuddy rules, but I'm trying really hard to convince myself that I'll get over it.

It's in the past, it's in the past.

[Grumma]

Dunno why you're so under it in the first place

[Ally]

Was that directed at me Grumma? Because I can't even begin to interpret what it is you just wrote.

[Grumma]

"I'll get over it"

I do believe the opposite of over is under

[Ally]

Well that's easily the lamest thing I've heard all day.

[Deadcat Kaye]

haha I'll second that

[Grumma]

Must be a Kilsyth thing

[Ally]

More like "you're an idiot" thing. But whatever.

[Grumma]

Apart from the fact there was nothng wrong with what I said

[Colezy]

Sorry if this has been explained already, but how did this whole thing work?
From what I can gather there were heats and finals...

[mel_bound]

ok
there are 4 teams of 5 muso's
2 heats of 30 minutes of cooking a main meal
first heat's ingredient was mushrooms
second heat's was chicken
Team 2 won the first heat and team 4 (YEAH!) won the second
The final was the 15 minute dessert battle
And yeah, team 2's breastmilk didn't go down too well and our teah 4 won!

[Grumma]

So in other words is was the cooking equivalent to Roland Garros?

[Colezy]

Thanks Mel :)

What did the other team put the breast milk with?

[Ally]

Can anyone remember who was in what team?

[RollOn]

Some creamy chicken dish from what i could gather. It looked grosse!

[mel_bound]

Can anyone remember who was in what team?

Team 1
Macromantics, Kene lightfoot, Linda Johnston, Lindsay MacDougall, Candy
Team 2
Keisuke Nakamura, Lisa Miller, Dave Larkin, Marieke Hardy, Link Meanie
Team 3
Paddy Donocan, Emily Ulmann, Dan Kelly, Bob Log 3, Angie Hart
Team 4
Andy, Scott, Rebecca Barnard, Ally Spazzy, Ron Peno

[Ally]

Freaky memory! :p Tah for that.

[RollOn]

She probably grabbed the booklet and typed it up :p

[Grumma]

I've never heard of any of those (aside from Scott and Chris)

[Ally]

Haha, yeah, or that.

[mel_bound]

Freaky memory! :p Tah for that.

Nah, like Lauren said I have my booklet right here

It has FEED ME written on it in big letters. It worked. It got us fed :p

[Deadcat Kaye]

I have HI written on my booklet...It said HI for me :p

[Rock'n'Roll]

Did any guests get up with the Meanies? And what did you think of 6 Ft. Hick?

[Deadcat Kaye]

6 Ft. Hick were alright,
Scott mentioned something about the meanies, he went back inside after the cook off to go watch em play

[RollOn]

He said they were the best thing since something haha
I didn't catch the "something" bit.

Grumma I think you mean Scott and Andy.

[Grumma]

Yeah probably

[Deadcat Kaye]

He said they were the best thing since something haha
I didn't catch the "something" bit.


Haha yeah, he mentioned them to me quite abit and gave the thumbs up once

'lol'

[AlinaPOW]

Gah! I still want more lo-down on the goings on of Team Larkin!

[Ally]

I've only seen one or two photos of Dave. :(

No offence to the people who went, but it's nice looking at photos of people other than Scott and Andy. I love Clem's dress!

[AlinaPOW]

Really? Link me, I haven't found any yet. Granted I haven't been looking very hard but I shouldn't have to!

[Ally]

Here's one, I'll go back and find the others once I get to the end.

[Ally]

Ah sweet as! Thanx for all that sifting! Isn't you're internet s'posed to have had it??

Start of the month, broadband is BACK! I think I might have used a fair bit up scrolling through all those photos though.

[Ally]

Who?

Mind you I don't even know who Dallas Crane are to begin with

Surely you do know who he is, if you know he's a member of Dallas Crane..
