Yesterday, this happened.
Dominic Howard, the drummer from Muse and one of my heroes, walked by my workplace and took an Instagram shot at the Opera House with his mum. I wasn’t at work at the time but I was right around the corner (blogging, actually at The State Library of New South Wales as my wifi is down at home). I took a couple of shots in fact as it is a pretty impressive building, the oldest library in Australia.
Then, today on Instagram, Tom Kirk posted a timelapse on the harbour. Tom is a childhood friend of the band and does a lot of work with them on the road. This is just a screenshot of that time lapse.
It’s weird to think my biggest inspirations were walking the same streets as I have been recently. Of course, I had a little wander before work to see if the other two members of the band were snapping selfies, all to no avail.
There must have been a graduation on, I have never seen so much pink. Lots of people, a lot less Muse.
Oh well, this time Saturday I will see them for the 5th time, I am even more excited now I know they are on Australian soil.
I love Muse! I wish you could have met them. I bet they are very nice guys.

They’re excellent live! I saw them in 2007 and then . . . either 2009 or 2010, I’m not sure. They were both outstanding shows.

They have always been great, however they started putting on some epic light/laser shows around that time, that was an awesome time to see them live!
