Be vewwy qwiet..

The other night i was walking through Camberwell on the way to training, when i spotted a white rabbit (no fob watch, sorry) nosing about the nature strip.  I didn't want to walk too close while there was traffic going by, in case it ran on the road and became a rabbit pizza, and while i waited for the traffic to clear it occurred to me that someone was probably looking for it, or would be later, and may not find it in one piece.  So i decided to take a punt and knock at the nearest house with a light on and just ask if they knew anyone who had a rabbit.  I opened a gate and walked up the pathway, half expecting to have hounds released on me, and rang the doorbell a couple of times before someone answered.  "Sorry if it's a silly question, but do you know anyone around here who has a rabbit?".  "Yes, it's mine!" she said, "It escaped this afternoon and i've been looking for it".*  "Well it's just out on.. erm.. right there."  It had followed me up the garden path.  So i helped distract it for a couple of minutes while she caught it, then continued on.

I love the high spontaneous acts of helpfulness can provide, at a cost of about two minutes of time and some small chance of embarrassment.

(* Sorry, no Alvin Purple ending - this is a nice story.)

Oh, almost forgot..

Zombie Ghost Train!

This Friday (19/8) at the Tote, with Lords of Gravity, Thee Psycho Delmatics and Spent Shells.

Vampyre-X and Devil Dolls will have to keep for another time.

If anyone doesn't know them, ZGT are a horror rockabilly band, sort of like the Stray Cats crossed with the Damned (or, as they put it, Eddie Cochrane meets the Misfits).  And damn fine too.  If you enjoy things like the Horrorpops, Nekromantix or the Cramps, there's a good chance you'll dig these guys.

There's also an underage show at the Stage on Saturday and a late show Saturday night at the Pony.
