Oh Canberra. Apparently, I pronounce it incorrectly. I pronounce quite a few things wrong. Who knew? Woke up at 6am and got a jump on the day. Went sightseeing in the AM. Went to the Australian Intelligence agency and parliament. Looked SUPER important. I guess maybe the King or the President .. or the CEO of Australia does his business there. It is VERY fortified. The building that is... Went to the Australian War memorial. Sad to see all the names.. Fell down stairs when I was trying to look cute .ugh. Went to Westfields and had Sushi. Had dinner at Happy Jacks. The dude in the drivethru kept calling me sweet. That is what I expected of all the people of Australia.. An overwhelming amount of sugar.. NOT. Just an occasional Happy Jack employee. :( Considering Ali Baba's Drive thru for tomorrows dinner. hahahahah Came "home" showered and got ready. Drove to show extra early and was sad to see a super long line. Finally got into the venue and talked my yank ass to the mo fo front. GO MEGHAN! Excited that new friend, Deb, has an extra ticket to Saturday's sold out show. Who needs to spend the day in Melbourne?!?!? Mental note.. most Australian women are hideous... Left after JET.. people surprised. GOOD SHOW.








PS Saw first kangaroo.. but it was smashed on side of road... :( also, shows WAY different here.. In USA small clubs, here 10,000 peeps in a field.. booooo
