New Years Eve; Day, Night, and the Day After






For the first time since we've moved to Tasmania, Zok had a show near Hobart. Everyone arrived from the mainland in the afternoon.
Zok came over to the house with more people than have ever been in our house at one time. He was funny to watch, buzzing around, and cooking up a meal at the first hint of hunger in the crowd. I did not see much of the festival as I went to the site after dark. The band was great as always. I of course, had to make note of the composting toilets, which really are much better than those plastic stalls that are normally put on site for festival shows. Most people slept out on the festival site, European style. We stayed at a hotel in town.
I think staying at a hotel in the city where one lives is funny. We were at an apartment styled hotel which I believe is built as an addition to the main building which used to be a Wool factory. I assume that the Wool Factory was inspiration for naming the hotel bar; Baaa Bar.
New Years Day, we had breakfast in the old Jam factory. The Jam factory also houses a hotel, but the inner area is now an atrium with two places to eat and some shops. It as nice to be out, but nicer to be home again.
