Thirsty Merc concert

Last night I went to see Thirsty Merc (one of my favourite Aussie bands) in concert. The crowd were like crowds at most places and inconsiderate of the fact that I couldn't see a thing when they stand in front of me. Some even lent on me and my chair and one girl tried to sit on my lap. needless to say I wasn't going to enjoy the show much when all this was going on. To make a long story short the manager of the venue arranged for me to watch the show up on the stage so I had the best view in the whole place! It added extra excitement to the night and was a real victory in terms of disability access.

Banana Smooties

Yesterday I wanted a Banana smoothie but the smoothie store is not wheelchair accessible. So I had to send my cousin in to buy it for me. She had to make a few trips out questioning me about the size I wanted etc. The store owner noticed and asked her what she was doing. she explained and the owner told me to stand at the door any time and toot my horn and she'll come and serve me. So now I can get smooties any time I want yay!
