it was really good. it was really laidback but also really organised. so much amazing and good value food. and of course, all the bands we saw were pretty good.

it rained on friday night and on saturday but otherwise the weather was pretty good to us.

The books I read when I was little are bloody disturbing.

wow I haven't been on here for a while, how are things going?

Have been doing some live visuals for my mates bands recently, pretty rushed last minute jobs at the moment but adds a bit more to the gigs, taking some inspiration from Muse's visuals of course.

Few vids on youtube if anyone is interested http://www.youtube.com/user/Tomipt

Few Pics

Those look absolutely awesome!

Things are good for me - but busy with uni. Can't believe it's almost time for the BDO announcements again. Where did the year go?

How have things been with you?

TomIPT · 15-09-2010, 02:46 AM

Yeah pretty good, I agree about the year, it has just vanished. Some good gigs coming up too and summer soon, haven't had a good summer in years, bring it on!

This just gets better and better.

"Garrett yesterday admitted to using a dead baby's identity to obtain a passport 26 years ago." I can't believe that. That's despicable. What would it be like for the family of the baby?

And, of course, this is fabulous - the Sensible Sentencing Trust saying "they recognised people make mistakes in their lives and 'most put those mistakes behind them and become law abiding citizens'."

That's the complete opposite of what they stand for. They believe in the death penalty! I guess things are different when it's one of your own.

I don't understand how he has absolutely no reasoning for it. He just thought he'd do it. What the hell? I thought the assault conviction was bad enough!

_Ed_ · 16-09-2010, 07:27 AM

Yeah I don't understand that either!

I also don't get how when he was discharged without conviction the judge granted name suppression because there was "minimal public interest". The guy was involved in the Sensible Sentencing Trust at the time. There's ALWAYS public interest in hypocrisy.

"I've left him so much work he won't have time to scratch himself"

IN GARRETT'S OWN WORDS

"If you target offenders at the lower end, you stop them from descending down the road to more serious crimes."

– Speech to Sensible Sentencing Trust, August 25.

"In the age of the internet, suppressing names can seem pointless to the point of [being] farcical."

– Blog post on June 16.

"Criminals are not stupid. They may not have university degrees or even have finished high school, but they know about cause and effect as it affects them."

– Speech to Parliament, May 25.

_Ed_ · 16-09-2010, 10:35 PM

I love it.

Hypocrisy is such good fun.

JoBear · 16-09-2010, 10:41 PM

can we just hope this leads to act self imploding?

_Ed_ · 17-09-2010, 12:32 AM

That sounds like a reasonable thing to hope for.

Although I will be saddened if it means I can no longer find appropriate instances to bring this photo out.

_Ed_ · 17-09-2010, 04:13 AM

And it turns out Joyce was convicted of dangerous driving causing injury a few years ago. That's what you want in your Transport Minister.

He says he forgot about that conviction.

How would you forget being in a crash in which someone was injured? Luckily I haven't been involved in many crashes, but I remember a whole lot of near-misses, so I'm sure a crash would stay in my memory forever.
