The Royal Adelaide Show

The royal show has been a tradition for me ever since I was little I went almost every year. I aways went with my mum and grandma when I was little and as I grew up it became and day/night out with friends.

This year was no different going in with my friends to spend the day there and go on the rides and catch up. Well it was the same up until a few days beforehand when I ended up in hospital because of pain in my abdomen. I was in there overnight three days before we were going to the show. I was released the next day but not until late, I was asked if I was still going to be able to go to the show by my friends and family but I really wanted to catch up with my friends.

I persisted and went to the show on the last Saturday anyway and I didn’t really have a problem with the pain in my stomach while I was there however I didn’t want to go heaps of rides just in case they hurt me more than I was already and I needed to go home. However, this made me realise how many rides at the show were not really suitable for my condition.

I was only willing to go on a few rides because of this which upset some of my friends because a few of them wanted to go on some of the bigger rides with me however I couldn’t because I didn’t want to risk hurting myself more. My friends split up a lot during the show this year where the guys went to go on the big rides and myself and another friend were doing some of the easier rides and two of the others in the group went to look at the markets and stalls because they both weren’t really into the rides there.

We all met back up later on in the day to watch the stunt cars and bikes before we went off to wander the show bag hall and look at the market stalls. We all went to get dinner by the time we were done and went to go get our seats for the fireworks later on. We waited and watched all of the shows in the arena until the fireworks started. The fireworks are always one of the best parts of the show for me and my friends as well all love watching them and getting to sit around and catch up while we wait.

The show was a great day and night out for me and my friends even though our group was originally seven of us and when we left there was only four of us because a few people in our group met up with other friends and one of our friends went home early because they didn’t feel well. The day was still a great time even though I had been in hospital beforehand.

The ‘Gurge’ Take Over The Gov

On Friday the 17th of August my mum and myself attended a concert at The Gov which was ‘Regurgitator’ as the main act and ‘The Stress of Leisure’ and ‘Glitoris’ as the opening acts.

By the time we had arrived we had missed the first act which was ‘The Stress of Leisure’ but had heard from friends that we met there that they were good and we had arrived halfway through the second act ‘Glitoris’.

Although I had only heard one of their songs before, I really enjoyed their act and they really had the crowd going during all of their songs with people dancing and singing along.

There was only one song that I didn’t really enjoy but other than that the band was really enjoyable.

However you could tell by the atmosphere in the room once they finished on stage that everyone was waiting for ‘The Gurge’ to come one.

As the music stopped and the room became hushed waiting for them to come on stage everyone couldn’t wait.

I was only familiar to their most popular songs and not many of them at that but I could still enjoy the whole night especially since I got to sit on one of the roadies boxes so it was much easier to enjoy the concert since I was recovering from a knee injury.

With some of their biggest hits of ‘Polyester Girl’ and ‘I like your old stuff better than your new stuff’ that got the crowd going absolutely wild and everyone that was there sung along.

The crowd went wild for ‘The Gurge’ and their comedic songs everyone singing along and dancing to every single song.

Panic! at the Disco

Last Tuesday night Panic! at the Disco played here in Adelaide. The high energy performance and the hyped crowd made for great performance.

I got the full experience of the concert by lining up since 9:30 in the morning with my friends who had actually camped out overnight in line so we could have a good spot for the show when doors opened at 7pm.

Not only did I line up all day but I also helped fellow people in line create posters for the show as well as handing out rainbow coloured paper hearts so people could hold them up and shine a light through them during the show to show support for the LGBTQI+ community during the song Girls/Girls/Boys.

Now doing all this lead me to being able to meet the supporting act E^St (East), her performance before the show was amazing with such high energy and dancing both from her and the crowd, especially during her cover of ‘Gives you hell’ by The All-American Rejects. (East is the one in the green pants in the group photo)

It also lead me to being able to meet Panic! at the Disco’s manager Zack Hall, when he came out to meet fans and give the two girls who had been lining up the longest a drum skin that had been signed by all of the band members.

The countdown started 10 minutes before Panic! were to come onstage to play and the crowd could not wait. They opened with ‘(Fuck A) Silver Lining, the first song on their newest album, ‘Pray For The Wicked’. Which being in the pit with every person around me singing and screaming I could barely hear the Brendon Urie singing.

Brendon Urie the lead singer of Panic! awed crowd members with his amazing vocals and how easily he was able to reach the high notes during the songs. He was even let one of the audience members who had created a sign saying “Can I please drum for Sins?”, one of the bands biggest hits. He got to go on stage and play the chorus of ‘I Write Sins Not Tragedies’ with the band. Brendon also noticed another fan, the one I helped make the sign for, who’s birthday it was named Maddie and he sung Happy Birthday to her.

They ended the show with one of their hits ‘Victorious’ from their last album ‘Death of a Bachelor’. It ended with shots of the confetti cannons which sent gold and white confetti raining down on the crowd.

Overall the show was amazing from the events before the show and during the concert. Brendon was truly an amazing live singer and performer with his signature backflip during ‘Miss Jackson’ to his amazing high notes in ‘Say Amen (Saturday Night)’ and ‘Death of a Bachelor’ as well as adding in many ad lib high notes throughout the show.

Holey Moley!!!

My friends and I decided to check out Holey Moley Golf Club on Saturday night on the 4th of August.

The night was a blast for all of us from getting to go through the experience of each hole from the ‘Upside Down room’, the ‘Willy Wonka Factory’ and even through ‘The Simpsons lounge room’.

Each hole was different and each was a new experience, as a group we had chosen to do all 18 holes that are offered and during some of the holes the ball can go up and over you on the next part of the hole and some you have to play pinball with the golf ball before you can even start swinging.

Throughout the course we even had drink holders so that our drinks from the bar can rest while each person has their turn instead of getting friends to hold our drinks. I personally recommend  the ‘Sugar Caddy’ cocktail that my friends and I got, if you are into something sweet.

Holey Moley Golf Club was a great night out for my friends and I, although it was very busy on the Saturday night and was sometimes hard to get through each hole but overall it was a good experience and would be great during the day for families and kids when it is less busy and no need to rush through the course.

I highly recommend this place to people who want a night out or even are looking for a place to take their kids.
