Sorry everyone for the lack of activity of late. I had a big Saturday night out with 30 or so Aussies at an Irish pub in town. The place was absolutely packed out but we had our own sectioned off bit with 15 cases of Coopers lager, pale ale and sparkling imported just for us.
The guy who runs the Australians in Phila website, Chris, puts on parties all over town every few months... nice guy!

we finished there at about 8 when the Coopers were dry then headed to South St. South St has kind of the Newtown/Glebe hippy feel to it but is alive as the Cross of Surfers Paradise!! All the shops are open to midnight with music and parties spilling out onto the road. We ended up at Tattooed Moms where they were serving $1 Pabst Blue Ribbons (PBR's). Traditionally a redneck drink from the south drunkded by yobbos at the Nascar, its becoming more popular elsewhere now (apparently) but it tastes like shit... actually, like a watered down light beer!
Tattooed Moms is a very cool place, the upstairs room is absolutely covered in black and red graffiti and stickers! - looks very derelict, but very cool. and there are no tables and chairs to sit at... just old dodgem cars to sit in and on, they all have a little timber plank for your drinks but there are probly 20 randomly placed in the room! so we drank there till it closed then headed for my first ever 3am cheesesteak - don’t remember tasting it but the ones I’ve had sober (pictured below) aren’t to bad... not healthy, but not to bad! In bed by 4 (I think), up at 2pm to murder the toilet then slowly walked to the museum again (the one at the top of the ‘Rocky’ steps).
Then came home still feeling like I’d been hit by a train, read a bit of book number 7 then passed out from exhaustion but still managed to sleep thru my alarm this morning.
Easter next weekend... and no public holidays over here! Not sure what’s on, but it will be my last weekend before hometime

Sounds like a good weekend (for some) but I prefer the news and photos you do with a more "cultural" or "scenic" feel. But thats just me!
