Hey, just a quick update! Again, I havent been up to a huge amount. Ive been battling coughs and colds for the last 2 weeks. It'll come, stick around for a week, go, then come back again. Last friday I couldnt even busk because I just couldnt sing...
The winery thing never happened in the end either because I needed an amp (and obviously a pickup, mic etc for my guitar). Which is exactly why I cant book myself into all the local coffee shops / restaurants. Which is annoying..
Because of this ive applied for my tax back ($4500), and have been looking at the best amps to buy. Ive got advice off of a couple of friends, and have decided (not that any of you will care, but im going to write it anyways) an AER compact 60 amp, which is expensive, but sounds great, will hold its value, and also is small and light enough so it comes with a shoulder / gig bag to carry around. Which is great for my travelling... Ill probably also get a K&K Pickup for my guitar, because its come highly reccomended! Altogether, it'll come to around $1300, but considering its going to earn me a shed load (I will be able to busk more, because I wont have to wait until Josh is free with his amp, i can take mine out...) it'll be worth it...
Apart from that, ive done a few more open mic nights, had a few parties on the beach, around a campfire. Stuff like that, but its been pretty cold here, and most of the days are wet now. Its been good fun though...
On more exciting news though, it looks like ill soon be on the move! A couple of mates from the hostel are buying a car, and are driving up north next week, so i think ill jump in the car with them! Darwin is my ultimate goal, and because its the height of the dry season, the busking up there will be incredible!
So yes, not a hugely exciting blog, because its died down around here, but I thought id let you all know how I was getting on!
