Filling the day with athletes of a nature

Smacking realisation that the lunchtime parade in the city was one with Olympians was mildly as disturbing as the churnings going on. Throwing around the ticker tape on the city street above at Town Hall, the underground rail station was used to forgetfully subvert the action in a chance to see what happenings were happening on the new release shelf of the Kino store. Gold plating on Neil Gaiman's Sandman Endless Nights was a lock as well as spotting Tales of Human Waste, the final Transmetropolitan collection.

For nothing more than a spectacle, missing out on the parade made looking at the day a chasm of wait for the night time action of the theatre.

Running black through the streets of Chippendale gathering a healthy forehead of sweat made up for time waiting at Wynyard for Debbie Does Dallas, the musical to start the show. Based on the porno flick of the same name, minus "the musical" part, it was a fun, smart and charming show. The actors were visibly having a great time with the material and certainly so did the audience. Putting a minimal set to maximum use, the songs were clever and made wanting to write a musical another one of these dreams jammed into the brain's possible goal field.

Walking home after the show was a choice between along the busy road of Broadway and Ultimo or the back streets of Redfern, scene of much violence not too far back in the start of the year. The streets to Redfern were lit extremely bright for 2200 hours.
