I had one of the greatest 90s CD rock towers.

I had every Nirvana CD along with Hole's Live Through This and Celebrity Skin.

 

[Hawk Dork]

I booked him to play at my wedding. A month out he changed his fee to $5000 for a two piece acoustic

He came to see my band and had to pay

Just for the sake of discussion and im interminably bored....
Curious. What has been the longest road trip, k's covered, without sleeping?

A group of us drove 12hrs from Banff to Whistler. We went the long way for some reason I can't remember why. GPS back then didn't reroute very well so once we turned off we were just looking at a turnaround signal for 10hrs.

 

[ChappyUK]

I adore that song.
I don't think I was in that Round (just checked, I wasn't, but I was in the one after!). You would have gotten votes from me for sure.

I won with Foals - "White Onions" in the Black and white videos round.

But probably my favourite win was in the E.Ps Round 352 when I nommed a little known Perth artist:

I think my win a few week's back with a obscure Kennebec track was a major surprise.

I did like alvvays going from Billy to Win though.

I've driven Melbourne to Gladstone without sleeping, about 2,000k.

Fair effort. I thought our trip from Sydney to Daintree and back in 11 days was a fair effort

 

[raskolnikov]

It was when I was young and stupid. No way I'd attempt it these days. I did the same trip 3 years ago and I stopped 3 nights along the way.

My Sister and BiL did it in 1 day
Its a long drive I do it over 5 days
Stopping in my favourite towns for good restaurants along the way and going the coastal route mainly
Ive done inland but didnt love it , though there were some good Thai places and pie shops and a great rump steak in the Miles Hotel that was bigger than the plate
I think it was this one ?

You went through Miles to get from Melbourne to Gladstone? That seems Miles out of the way. Miles is out west.

 

[raskolnikov]

Did you sleep?

May have pulled over and napped once or twice from memory but I didn't stop anywhere.

 

[Loonerty]

Woosh

 

[ChappyUK]

But you said without sleeping....twice.

 

[raskolnikov]

But you said without sleeping....twice.

Napping is not really sleeping.

 

[ChappyUK]

Napping is not really sleeping.

I drove from Melbourne to Gladstone without stopping off anywhere and pulled over maybe once or twice for a ten minute nap. Not really hard to understand. * me.

 

[por_please_ya]

I didn't get my licence until I was 25 so I haven't been driving anywhere near as much as the rest of you.

Personally my longest drive has been from Adelaide to Robe, with stops it takes about 4 hours? Maybe less actually.

With my family when I was young, I remember my parents driving from Sydney to Adelaide with no sleeps. They took turns. I think we were going to stop in the Riverland but didn't end up doing it. Dad just kept driving!

Incredible.

Who's melting?

 

[Loonerty]
