ITS A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL................

when our security guy at work has his lunch break i have to go down and do the searching of people before they come in the bar- just basically pat down their pockets and make sure they dont have..........i dunno... A BOMB or something! mostly we just catch people trying to bring in drinks into the bar. it is quite inportant that it gets done because of the bar that got bombed on our street a couple of years ago.


anyway- i was doing this one night and it was freezing cold when all of a sudden i heard someone say...."owen! is that you?"

and it was english sam!

a good friend of mine that i made when i was living in sydney. he used to work at the video shop in the sydney park village in newtown and we were great friends for a while back then.

he moved to new york and i didnt have his email adress so we lost touch.

it was great to bump into him and we have had a few drinks to catch up on what we've been up to. it is insane that you can bump into someone you know on the other side of the world!

i am relly happy that i met him again because we really were such great mates. we used to go over esch others house every tuesday and have a tv marathon night - the secret life of us, sex and the city, friends, six feet under.

he is working in PA now for a austrailan pop start called "Gina G".

does anyone remember her? she had a big hit in the 90's with this song called "ooh....aahhh just a Little Bit"

it was crap then and its crap now- but anyway- she is making a comeback and will proabaly play at our club when she releases her new song.
