11am-4pm homebake
On Saturday I went with Janelle, Louise, Timmy c and Jeremy.
I saw The Middle East (awesome as usual) and a bit of bridezilla (which likewise made me jealous as heck)
4pm-8pm transport and buying presents
8pm-12midnight Joe's house
Joanna and I got to Joe's 21st and knew no one.
Luckily a tonne of people recognised us from the wharf and gave us this "15 seconds of fame" kinda feeling. They'd come up to us and say "I know you don't know me, but I feel like I know you". Which I totally get because I feel like that about artists and actors all the time but I didn't ever expect it to happen to me.
So we had some great conversations with Joe's friends, I spoke to one lady who works as a recruiter and she was giving me tips on how to get into music jouralisim which was great.
There where a few brilliant speeches and everyone was just basically overwhelmed (as am I) about how talented, humble, kind and awesome Joe is.
12midnight-4am megas
The plan here was for a bunch of people to catch a bus to cremorne hotel (more commonly known as "megas") and a bunch of people to walk up together.
So a bunch of people caught the bus while others drove leaving Jo, Joe, Sam and I to walk. So there was Joe, on his 21st, walking with us - of all people - to a pub that all his friends where already at.
We got there, and there was this man who played old songs on the piano, causing us to link arms in a big circle, sway and scream out lyrics until we could speak no longer.
We then sat around, surprisingly enough, with Joe and chatted until we where told to leave.
tim, sam, joe, deb and i (i'm not some random photo-bomber, these are actually my friends - as much as this photo would like to suggest otherwise :s)
4am-6am maccas
The pub closed at 4 and the few who hadn't ditched (about 30 at this point) headed over to maccas. They had started to serve the breakfast menu which was exciting.
and SAM HAD HIS FIRST HASHBROWN EVER!
The original plan was to go to the beach but most of us where pretty tired by this point.
Jo, Deb and I caught a taxi back to Joe's to find half a dozen people lying around his house.
They slowly left as we slowly fell asleep.
6am-12noon sleep
Jo, Sam and I fell asleep on the floor and everybody else left. We woke up to have breakfast with Joe's family and Chris who had left and then come back.
My mouth tasted like tyre and my hair felt like a farm yard.
post-party naps and showers where well enjoyed.
