I'm soooooooo effing trashed at work right now. I blame harks.

Ok - so MY run down of the evening;

All those involved made in on time.... Harks, Wellard, TDC (Timbo) and myself. Oh, and about 4 or 5 of Harks' housemates joining us for his 22nd birthday. (hint hint, give him a birthday shout for Sunday).


Things went pretty slow figuring out where to dine. Considering that we were on a Student budget, we just went to a fast food plaza after searching for an affordable restaurant. I myself had some chicken that looked like rubber, and coincidentally tasted somewhat similar as well. Tasty enchilada my ass.

Anyway, we headed on to a pub known as the 'Three wise monkeys'. We are all ashamed to say that a freaking German (in particular, Martin, a germin housemate of Harks) knew the area better than us. We were so ashamed. Once inside, the fun begun. Haha, that rhymes.

I want to admit it - I got Harks OFF HIS CHOPS (DRUNK). Even got he and his friends dancing. Go me. Oh well, he seemed to enjoy himself. Wellard wore an extremelly loud and bright shirt that has concequently recieved comments throughout the night from both TDC and myself. Nice work, mate :D

I think the highlight of my night was chatting up the FEMALE bartender and making her produce a rather lethal shot known as a "hot mortified lesbian". It consisted of scotch whisky, sambuca and tobasco sauce (I'm sure there was one other ingredient, but for the life of me I'm just too pissed to remember). Tasted pretty damn good, too.

Anyways, was a 'hoppin' good night, wish the orange boys and Mem coulda made it, but we made the best time that we could with the people and the venue that we were given. Thanks a lot guys [img]smile.gif[/img]

Now I'm just waiting for the random and most likely horrible photo's to be produced by Harks... and before you all get your hopes up - I'm sure there are only about 4 (if that).

Love you all long time, and lets make the next one even better with a bit more planning, eh?

-Dave

What was wrong with my shirt? :D

Absolutely nothing, mate. That was the beauty of it.

Good to hear you had a great time guys! I just submitted two of my MBA applications, the ones that were due April 1st - thank God it's still April 1st in the US. :D I'm so KNACKERED!!! Sorry I missed it, but I was under the pump bigtime. Now I get to take a break for a few days and then the next lot of unis are due on the 15th.

I'm DEFINITELY in for the next one, as long as we do it after the end of April (no more applications or anything then :D ).

We'll have the next one around Paddo/Darlinghurst? Or should we go out west for the Orange boys?

It was suggested we all go to Orange (ROAD TRIP!!!!) for the youngins, and personally I reckon it sounds like a top idea - IF we can get some sort of accommodation happening.

Wish you were there Mario, you missed out on some laughs.

Dave!!! what in the world did you put in those shots you gave me :D .

It was good fun and Ill get the pictures up soon. I was close to drunk but I was only semi-drunk since I remembered everything last night. Good laugh, good fun, good music, and good dancing.

The toughest part of that night was walking home. [img]tongue.gif[/img] (as i was actually walking in an S motion and tripping once in awhile.)

A road trip to orange sounds fun. (hoping someone have a car so I can hitch :D )

edit:
oh yeah.. im just woke up now with a major headache.. (small hangover i guess).

Thanks once again IW guys who came. It was really cool to meet up with you again. ;)

Sounds fun guys, how about a world IW union? :D

Can't wait to see this elusive shirt.

Mems, totally unrelated, but whatever happened to that car of yours?

Hot mortified lesbian? Sounds excellent, will have to remember to try that... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Anyway, sounds like a great night, wish I could have joined... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Got pictures? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Let me guess, there's no girls in this gathering too. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Great night guys. I'm up for a road trip to orange next time or I suggest that we book at table at the Lohenbraue (sp?) for some nice food and better beer.

Well I should have some money next time (and maybe my motorbike :D ;) ) So im up for anything anytime.
If you guys want to stay in Orange, that would be great, but its proably better if we save you guys the hassle and go over there [img]tongue.gif[/img]

C'mon Harks, where are those damn pictures??? [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img] :D

Sounds like you all had a good time. I loved reading the tale of the trip. Now I need to see that dam bright shirt. ;)

Right here [img]tongue.gif[/img]

that would be really cool,
and there are... six of us here.
or perhaps we should make an effort to get to sydney.

John mate, I love that shirt! You look so funny in that first pic with your eyes, remind me of a gnome or something. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] :D [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Nice last photo!

Already looking forward to the next one guys!

Cheers [img]graemlins/cheers.gif[/img] in advance

and ill bring the things i forgot to give you TDC :D .

Hey don't knock the shirt Ross, it cost my wife $3 and my wife suggested wearing it. You dont think she was playing a April fools joke one me do you [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

i reckon you just want some attention wellard :D .

Well, at least you couldn't lose him. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Man, I wish I could have been there, sounds like a terrifc time!
World, or atleast Europe IW gathering sounds excellent!
Oh, BTW, on that picture of the puv from outside, is that a car whooshing past you in warp speed or something?

that's correct, we have recently installed warp-speed traffic lanes in Sydney's center.

A Europe IW gathering would be cool. We'd have to do it in a city that's cool to visit anyway, then we could all go with the excuse of furthering our cultural knowledge. Amsterdam seems ideal :D I also wouldn't mind Budapest or London :D

...Amsterdam... *dreams away*
Yah, that would definetly be cool :D
Other options include Berlin, Prague, London, Vienna, Zagreb and Paris. IMHO. I vote Amsterdam. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I wouldn't mind visiting any of those really. I'm ashamed to say I've only been to London and Vienna from your list Bozo.

If we did do Budapest, I could give everyone a guided tour and we'd have the added bonus of cheaper drinks and a city that prob. not many people have visited.

Guys...guys, you forgot Aberdeen. What could be better?

If there is a European IW meet up it would have to be during a long weekend or holidays though because a lot of us Europeans are still university students or still in earlier stages.

BTW if the time is right for me count me in.

Amsterdam is only 20 minutes by train from where i live, if y'all ever get something going, let me know and a place to crash won't cost anything.

actually.. its a method in getting a great picture in the dark. using your camera open the lens for 4 seconds to capture the light in the area so that you can actually see what your taking after :D .

of course the non-stationary people and cars who are moving will be like a blur and going at warp speed. its meant for stationary things.

We tried, mate, oh how we tried. Haha... just kidding John old boy. Had a great time out.

Looks like Orange is the next pit-stop. Is there any form of cheap accommodation down there at all?

How many would be coming dave? only accomdation i can think of would be a motel or sleeping at someones house...

Get involved in the organisation then it's more likely to happen :D

But seriously, it could be done cos Europe ain't that big. Amsterdam is kind of a central location for northern Europe, but London is best for me (40 mins on the train) :D

I guess it'd come down to where most people are closest to. There are already 3 in the Amsterdam area that I could think of: johnny, Groj, Melusine.

And what makes you think the other people from Europe would actually want to meet you??? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img] :D

Nothing, I just thought if they had a meet I could invade and take the piss out of everyone for my own entertainment.
