Tuesday, and I awoke excited. Walked down to a cafe across the road from Bay kebabs, past the hippies selling beads and trinkets. Past the Northern. I turn left in to the laneway that runs behind the Northern. To my suprise, there is not 1 vehicle that looks like a tour bus, but three. I tingle. The sensation you feel before a big game, or a date with a new girl. A mixture of adrenalin, anticipation, and nevrousness. Could this be the Jebs tour bus? I peer inside the window to find guitar cases, and a skateboard. Could this be Kevs? A map of Australia with crosses down the easten seaboard. A bright gold star next to Perth. Playing it cool I turn back down the laneway, and wander past the back door of the Northern. A sign reads "welcome to Byron. Authorised members and road crew is only permitted beyond this limit. No VIP entry. As you enter this doorway remember those who have stepped before." Godamn I am excited, and so close. I dare not enter the sacred backstage area, and a sad lump wells in the pit of my stomach. But I am heightened as a scratchy bass line pumps out the back door. Maybe Vanessa? Next a couple of chords that sound familiar. A rare and favourite track, Monument.
