Tourist throngs. We had a hotel map but didn't know where we were going and ended up flowing along with a river of tourists. Found the pantheon! Which was amazing.

Rear view of the Rialto Bridge from the gondola.

The Cure pre goth and kinda what we got in 1980.

Hard News: Friday Music: The First Time, in reply to Hebe,
Next life-changer was The Cure at the Theatre Royal (think it was underpopulated) in 1980
Pretty sure this gig was at the town hall. A fantastic gig and right after their first album, with 'A Forest' on Ready To Roll every week.

Australian production of Jesus Christ Superstar (with Jon English as Judas).
Hells bells! I'd forgotten about that one too. Doesn't count as a gig tho. I thought Jon English was the bees knees for a while.
First Concert David Bowie, QEII, 1978. Was it Station To Station? Big train stereo sound effects anyway. I was 15 and had a school cert science exam the next morning- thanks for letting me go, mum.
Loudest Ramones at the Chch Town Hall. 1980?

Dewey eyed?

And my indispensable Peter Lorimer knife, which seems to be getting sharper with age and no help from me.

This is my most excellent Paua mincer, like new when I acquired it from a garage sale many moons ago.

Fantastic opening for La Freak. Not a note played, just, Awww.... and the crowd starts singing. Amazing. Nile Rodgers playing la freak riff solo was also brilliant.

We're not married cos it seems, to me (there's an alternative opinion...), kind of un-necessary and churchy. Been together 18 years and still counting! Our lovely daughter has her mothers surname, cos when she was born there were four generations down the matriarchal line with the same surname. Great grandma; grandma, who changed her name back when divorced and mother who took her mum's surname when a teenager. Did think about hyphenatin' but there were just too many syllables.
