Memory fails when the imprint is shaky and not quite clear in the first instance. Recalling the names of streets and their orientation from the front of a disused train ticket is hard. Especially when the ticket is underneath two stacks of twenty cent coins, back at the lair gathering dust like it knows best before its eventual recycling.
X does not mark the spot of the new Drum Media offices. A fat glob on the window of their old premises on Fitzroy is just so plain and logical. Back tracking all the way down again to the train station for the street maps near the pay phones registers a clue in direction.
An initial run up Foveaux Street in Surry Hills is treacherous for the pressure of an incline. One bearing what appears to be fifty to seventy degrees. Hilly, but not steep enough to knock out the black and wind.
Eventually, after coming to terms with nearly being lost, thanks again to vaguely remembering the address, a copy of vinyl from Sing-Sing is in hand.
