So, I went to see Gomez tonight, with a good buddy of mine that I've known since school.  We always do the gigs together, courtesy of our both having sensational taste and, incidentally, the only good taste in our "group". 

After buying a cheap dinner, I had AU$40 to my name.  Ordinarily, that's drinking money right there.  At $12 a shout (two beers), and including my mate's shouts, that's easily... doing the math... 56 beers!  But as I enter the band venue, I spot the merchandise table.  Suddenly, I am overcome with confused and mixed feelings.  My Boyfriend Sense begins to tingle.  The hair on the back of my neck, and my chest, was rearranging itself like crop circles, spelling out words such as "Buy Fiona a T-shirt!"  and "Time For a Shower, Arsehole!". 

So, if only to ensure that the rest of my evening would not be spent fending off conspiracy theorists and skeptics desperate to examine my crop circles, I bought Fi a t-shirt.  For the princely sum of $40.  They were all $40!  Well there was one for $20, but I didn't like it as much.  The point is; I surrendered my manly right to get right fucked up, and looked after my baby.

Damn you Mendoza!  I mean Gomez! 

Note: The above tale is only partially true.  I did manage to wrangle a couple of beers out of my mate.  I'm not much of a man, but I'm still a man damn it.
