Semi-Permanent Sydney 2006

On the 1st weekend of July, I flew up to Sydney for Semi-Permanent 2006. It was another whirlwind visit into Sydney for me. I had a late flight into Sydney from Melbourne, which was quite fun actually, had my laptop handy for entertaining purposes, but there was no need for that, as there were 2 lovely girls who sat across from me who were very funny.

This trip was actually pretty good, usually I don’t like travelling around Sydney at all, I’m so used to getting around Melbourne. You see, Melbourne’s CDB is a grid, it is so easy to get around, AND we have trams, how awesome are trams. So whenever I go to Sydney I tend to get lost and have no idea what to do there, simply because I have no idea where anything is. Luckily this time I was with some great guys who knew where they were going, and i was able to enjoy myself a lot more.

We had a decent hotel in the heart of the city and was a mere 5 or so minute walk to the Sydney Convention Centre in Darling Harbour. Now, for those of you who do not know what Semi-Permanent is, it is a yearly conference that is put on by Design Is Kinky. They bring in the worlds top design companies and influential people in the design/art business to give presentations about what they do and how they do it. It was quite an inspirational journey, and sitting front row for every session wasn’t too bad either.

For a quick look at what went on just head over to the Flickr set that i have made.

The Shed

Well, Saturday night was spent tearing it up on the concrete at a huge indoor skate park, in Cranbourne, which took us about an hour and a half to get to. I had fun riding around on my BMX and even had a few stacks, nothing too bad so don't worry. So check out these photo's, most of them are of this one guy who came with us, he was really awesome and was pulling off some really good tricks.
