    Yesterday morning, I found myself sitting in the back of a stretch limo, sipping a glass of Chandon* being whisked away to a secret location.  Just your average Sunday really.

    My sister-wife Susan had arranged the surprise for our birthdays and teased us with clues for the preceding two weeks.  I was completely clueless about our destination.  The limo driver even got in on the act, detouring south for a bit before we headed north.

    In the end, the surprise was seeing Darryl Braithwaite at the Green Room in Eumundi.  It was such fun seeing the clues in situ - they were so different that what I'd imagined.

    As we shared some lunch, I was telling the girls that the last time I'd seen Darryl Braithwaite was in 2009.  Then I remembered my old blog and was able to show them the photos.  At the time I blogged

    How do you honour an aging rock star?

    You go dressed from the decade he last had a hit!

    Yesterday didn't involve nearly as much hairspray and there was no green eyeshadow to be seen.  Darryl was a little older, but so was I.  He graciously posed for pictures with us (and signed one of my mates' left breast, but that's a story for another time).

    are you a fan of the Bedazzler?

    what did you get up to this weekend?

    * Congrats to Eliz a Buf for correctly guessing that one. That girl knows her booze!

      I bet Daryl loved being surrounded by a bevy of beauties.

      I have to admit I have no idea who he is (will have to google after this) but it looks like you had fun! I did have a chuckle at your green hairspray though - fantastic!!
