When I'm not working out on my Bullworker or transcribing the voices in my am radio's static I like to spend my nights at the Roberts Street park screaming at the stars. Little smug shiny fuckers, shining all bright with their little smiley lightypants and all. Hate em! But you know apparently that don't count for jack because the folks at Yelling at Stars reckon they're sending the first Australian interstellar message to hyper-wonk it's sciencey way into deep space.
Oh well, maybe their space gadget will penetrate further than my EPO enriched lungs. I hope so because those little stars need to be taught a damned lesson! Though I kinda reckon since there's a whole bunch of artists involved in this thing it'll be all poetic and positive and complex and arty and stuff. Whatever, ‘cause even though they suck I'm kinda hoping those stars will like what they hear and get back to us with some kind of message.
Maybe they'll send us details about when the Interspace Yo-Yo Kings to visit and show us how to walk-the-Martian. I'm curious so I will def' be down at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, Kings Doman Gardens, Linlithglow Av to see if what the YAS crew send has a chance of tempting them to get back to us after all this time. I'll be the guy with the G-Love tee.
