Sandwiches, Scavenging, and Songs

This post has been brought to you by the letter S.

Yesterday started off as a typical Saturday for us lately: breakfast sandwiches from the Town Bike Pitstop. Then, we participated in an almost-annual scavenger hunt run by some of our friends, around the Darling Harbour area. It was a fundraiser, with all the proceeds going to Epilepsy Ireland, a cause near and dear to a friend who recently lost his wife to epilepsy. The weather was perfect and the company was the usual crowd of frisbee folk and associates. 

In the evening, we went to Giant Dwarf, a very convenient local venue for us (just about a 10 minute walk from our apartment), to see Polyphony perform. Our friend sings in the non-traditional group; they are not the typical act/show I would go to see, but I'm glad I found out about them through her. This was the second time I had seen them, and this time was even better than the first. They often pick songs by artists not typically covered by choirs or acapella groups; they'll do songs by alternative artists like Bjork, Fiona Apple, Tori Amos, etc. This time, the most experimental songs were "All Around the World" by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and "Umbrella" by Rihanna. "All Around the World" was not the best/easiest song, but I respected them for attempting it, and "Umbrella" was surprisingly good because they did it with a little doo-wop flare. 

It was a well-rounded, fun Saturday!
