Hands Full of Glitter and Tofu : 2011 Day 166 - Newtown Baby Newtown!

Started off the night at 6.15 waiting for Warren in HUM music and ended up buying 4 CDs. I love immersing myself in new sounds and it's always so tempting to be in the store. Which is probably why I shouldn't use it as a meeting place! I should arrange to meet people in somewhere like a hardware store and yes there is one on King Street.....

Once Warren arrived, we stopped off at Coopers Hotel for a wine - a delightful drop called Devil's Lair Whippersnapper SSB - in their very funky upstairs bar and bistro. They also serve great food too, and really we should have stayed there to eat because....

... the food at Grub and Tucker, while not awful, was not wonderful either, and the service maddeningly uneven, and inattentive. The female waiter was so relaxed and matey as to be comical, and while Warren and I had a fantastic time catching up on everything, it would have been far better done somewhere else. Still, at least the wall art was fun, and gave us the excuse to....

............... pretend to be this statue that was sitting just near us! Oh what fun we had!

Then we walked home, ran into my friend Fahmi, who lives near me and Warren, and his friends Phillip, and Cristina, and had a lovely walk home on a crisp winter's evening.
