Naughty By Nature – Australia Tour Blog #2
Well here I am once again… It’s 8:23am here in Sydney and I’m still up from last night. I haven’t exactly adjusted to the time difference yet. Not sure why though, we’ve been here for a few days already.
Anyways…. I stayed up last night to edit some videos clips for YouTube. I’ve been filming almost everything that moves in front of me. So I got a bunch of stuff to put out there. So far this trip has been great. The weather KICKS ASS!!! I heard its snowing in New York. Lol. Wish I was there to help shovel the snow, or enjoy the freezing cold mornings, or drag salt and melted snow all through my kitchen. Wish I was able to look out the window and see feet of snow and say “Damn I wish I could just stay in bed today.” I miss the frozen snot bubbles in my nose and the sting on my face from the cold wind. Its too bad I got stuck here in this weather that’s seems to be only filled with sunshine, cool breeze and heat. Ok let me stop. Just kidding. I do miss home though.
The shows have been great. We did Sydney this past weekend on Saturday and then we flew about 4 hours west to Perth, Australia and rocked that city on Sunday. The show in Perth was perfect. It was an outdoor stage, just like Sydney, but unlike Sydney, the stage in Perth wasn’t under a huge tent. It was out in the open, with a nice fresh breeze all night. Sydney was crammed under a giant tent in the rain. That tent caused all the heat to roll forward right up on to the stage. Either way, the shows are great. Yesterday, somehow, got erased and by the time I woke up, it was dinnertime. Just about every night has been an all nighter over here. Like I said, my internal clock is still on New York time. They say you can tale the man out of New York, but you can’t take New York out of the man. I guess that’s why I’ve seen almost every sunrise here so far. Last night was Salsa night here at our hotel and I don’t mean Pancho Villas’ salsa neither. They have a nice all white club down near the lobby and last night people were spinning each other all over that joint. Trying to walk through that club during salsa night is like trying to walk through a blender. People are swinging and spinning each other left and right. Just when you think you have a clear path to squeeze through, someone flings their girlfriend across the dance floor and if you’re not paying attention you could catch an elbow real easy. Needless to say, I only made that trek one time. I’m not a dance type of dude, but salsa dancing looks like fun. If you know what your doing. And if you don’t know what you’re doing, you look even funnier. I stood along the wall with the rest of the New Yorkers and we cracked jokes about the people who, obviously, didn’t know what they were doing. Although, I gotta say, I was surprised to see Treach out there on the dance floor doing the cha-cha-cha. O’Boy was actually a pretty good salsa dancer. Who knew?
I’m about to take it down for a few hours now and when I wake up we’re going down to the Sydney Harbor. Our hotel is about a 15-minute walk from the harbor and it’s beautiful down there. Lobby call is 12 noon for those who want to go on the Boat Cruise around the Sydney Opera House. I’ll definitely be there. My mom and pops would be upset if came all the way over here and didn’t leave my hotel room. Which oddly enough, happens more often than not when we’re on tour. I’m gonna take a bunch of pictures and video and I’ll be posting them real soon. After the boat cruise, I’m gonna swing by the Metro Theatre and watch Salt-N-Pepa’s performance. Although we are all performing on the stages of this gigantic festival (Good Vibrations Festival), each artist also has a couple smaller local shows to perform in the cities. It’s nice. A little more intimate.
Our next show is on Thursday. We’re performing poolside at a spot called The Ivy Club. It’s some swanky upscale spot here in Sydney. Apparently the same guy who runs this huge festival own that club along with this hotel, the restaurant next door and on the rooftop, the salsa club downstairs and a few other spots in town. I take he’s, ya know, Rich as Hell!!! Must be nice. I gotta see if he has a single brother for my sister to marry or maybe a sister for my brother to marry.
Ok… I’m becoming a little delusional at this point. I’m tired and my fingers just keep on babbling. I’m going to bed now. Goodnight.
Until next time… Take care of yourself… and… Your Mother!!!
Take care of your mother.
Peace!
GIVE IT UP FOR… NAUGHTY… BY… NATURE!!!!!!
