I thought the photographer-Carl encounter was hilarious! One of those great moments!

Evenings like these are so much fun! Our zoo hosts “Jazz under the Stars” during the summer and we love going. Your venue looks quite a bit bigger. Thanks for the list of musicians. I’ll be checking them out for sure because I love finding new music. Thanks!!

It’s these kinds of events that make me homesick! My husband and I moved overseas in 1998! Strange though that we didn’t miss Sydney at all until we returned a few years ago to work on some stories and now I miss it dreadfully when I read about events like these. Lucky you!

I think it’s really nice that the zoos are now doing more twilight sessions and not just limiting to day time events 🙂 Because with longer daylight saving I think it’s good to give people more options!

Ok here’s my prediction. Carl enters Australia’s Got Talent, wins it and becomes very famous due, to his age and late blooming etc etc etc. Kind a Susan whatever her name is, thingy.

Then you can throw your own party and have him sing and invite the Whitlams and who ever else you damn well like to perform. You can serve wine in bottles with the flippin lid or allow guests to bring their own if they so desire. I mean they are grown ups and should be treated as such, right?

Honestly the regs in this country drive me completely nuts. They do the same thing at our yacht club and often we can’t get through the bottle between us. We are both cheap drunks. I have to sneak it out in my bag without a lid. How dumb is that.

Rant over

PS I would love to know what the bar person said…….no doubt it was completely laughable.

Balmy nights with family, views, a beautiful picnic, great music and a few vinos under your belt – sounds like a perfect night that you will always remember! I heard that the concert was sold out – how lucky you all were to be there.

Really, Carl met someone from your cruise? That’s so random, especially in a big crowds! I wonder what’s the reason behind no lid for wine. Such strange rules make me insane… I want to know why! 🙂

Illogical rules are so frustrating. I always argue, always in vain, but it makes me feel better! Much to the man’s disgust he hates a scene, he would have felt at home with Carl singing karaoke! Plus I always have issues with security, every airport I am pulled to one side and my luggage searched. Melbourne zoo do similar twilight events, its so nice to be able to do such lovely things like this. How lucky are we.

I hate silly rules that make no sense. Sounds like a perfect evening under the stars with friends, food and The Whitlams.
