    Friday the 22nd at Brix… Pitstops b”day and The Dogs leaving…

    22 July 2011 9:30 pm to 23 July 2011 1:00 am

    Hey guys, just inviting everyone down to Brix bar on the Bund, the venue I’ve been playing at for last few months… This weekend is our last, and Pitstop is having his birthday drinks there, so everyone is invited to come down and have a few drinks (also last opportunity to give me shit about my batting/bowling average this year). The band is half Aussie, and we play a pretty big variety of stuff so everyone is sure to be happy, if not then you’re sure to be happy with the fact that you can pour you own beers at the table… The address is 22 Zhongshan Dong Er Lu, near Jin Ling Lu, level 5 in the big red brick building… Love to see you guys there, and Pitstop has agreed to get up and sing a song… Kickoff is around 9.30, should be finished by 1am

    Leaving the air-conditioned comfort of the bus on arrival at the SRFC, we passed our first major test and were able to make it to the far end of the field without loosing too many players through heat exhaustion. Having won the toss, our the skipper Tank reversed his decision and sent the opposition in to bowl in the sweltering conditions, to murmurs of agreement from those who still had the strength to murmur.
