Cool Kids

Pheonix and I are having a ball in Australia, mainly because we are meeting really cool people. We spent three nights with Ed and Kat:

They are superfun. Ed rides a Penny-Farthing (RAD!):

and plays in a couple bands. Here he is in The Fuelers playing the upright bass:

Kat just generally kicks ass and got an adorable puppy, Eva, a week ago:

We had a great time sharing food, drinks, and stories with Ed and Kat in Canberra. We were sad to go, but hopefully we'll see them in Seattle some time soon-ish.
We are now staying with Leo and Greg who are the wonderfullest people in all of Melbourne.

PS: We saw kangaroos (duh) in Canberra and penguins in Melbourne.
"What?!" say you. Yeah... I don't really know why penguins are on the beaches in Southern Australia - no ice, no ozone, it's summer. But, there they were and the pictures didn't turn out! Dammit! They were super cute, too. Grr.
