Seven Days of Awesomeness - WhatWhenWhereWhy?


What?

I have previously listed all of the people I spent time with during the Seven Days of Awesomeness. In this list of what I did over the week I have named who I travelled with and who I specifically went to meet. Meaningful contact with other people occurred, either as part of the the activities listed or in the run of the mill workings of the other bits of my life.

I haven't listed the individual performers or musicians whose shows I enjoyed, but have listed the acts and the venues.

Not everything in this list falls into the category "awesome". But everything on here was significant.

Why record this week?

Even though in a typical fortnight I will often have a week with lots of evening commitments, it's not that often that I have something on every night. My evening commitments were all bound to be entertaining, pleasurable and noteworthy. The schedule would take me to locations I don't get to very often, but immensely enjoy visiting, like St Kilda and Clifton Hill. It was lovely to approach my city Melbourne from the south for a change. The view is awesome.
