Katoomba

Quite an interesting town in the Blue Mountains, which houses among others, westies, junkies, hippies, "artists".Most people are in a band or trying to form one.
Katoomba also functions as a kind of nursing home for burn outs from Newtown.

Let's stop off at Katoomba to see the Winter Magic Festival on our way to Byron Bay.

the Commitments

Popular early 90s movie about a group of people from Dublin who start a band and experience some relief from their mundane and sometimes dismal lives. This movie had a very popular soundtrack.

Last night I watched the Commitments. It was full of Irish sterotypes but entertaining nonetheless.

Tyra Banks

Surprisingly naive model/talk show host. Embarrassed herself trying to ilicit an apology from Naomi Campbell on the 'Tyra' show for supposedly being rude to her about 15 years ago. Tyra also suggested that Naomi was in part responsible for her retirement from modelling.

Tyra Banks can be quite silly
