Never having been to Schützenfest before I wasn’t really sure what to expect, and had heard mixed reactions from different people. Two things were for sure, we had to have kransky’s, and we were going to drink beer. That we did. I think throughout the day I managed about 4 kransky’s and a lot more beers, as well as many other drinks in between.
Kate, Moni, Chris (as he was then known), Mark and myself headed into town on the bus about 1.30pm eventually getting to Bonython Park for Schützenfest about 2.30pm. We saw so many people we knew and it seemed that everyone knew everyone some way or another. Adelaide is just so small! So we spent the day drinking, eating, talking, getting burnt, dancing, photo whoring and whatever else we did. Christafarian (formerly known as Chris) got a tattoo that says his Mum thinks he’s cool. The rest of us don’t.
All in all was a great day, and night, full of fun. Check out the photos in the gallery for what you all missed out on.
Where to start? What a big, exciting night. It all started about 5pm when I picked Kate up from the airport so she could party the year away with me. Took some beers to the airport for her, then dropped her back at her house so she could get ready, and I could go home and do the same.
Once Mark and I had got ready, we packed the esky (although forgot the V & Red Bull) and headed to Kate’s to pick her up, then on to Benni D’s for a beer or 2. After about an hour at Ben’s, we headed off again, this time to the Rent-A-Crowd Headquarters (with a detour to pickup the V & Red Bull) for BBQ and many drinks before seeing the New Year in at HQ Complex.
Great times were had with great people as we drank some beers, vodka, jagerbombs, sour monkey and whatever else was available. We had food, music, a sparkler bomb, glow sticks, just to name a few things.
After this, me Kate & Mark headed to HQ where we drank some more and danced the night & year away. It gets a bit hazy after this and I am not really sure where I was when the new year rang in, but I am sure it was good. Then about 2.30am I left HQ on foot to head back to Steve’s. I didn’t get there until about 4.30 when Mark and Kate eventually found me and dropped me off in the taxi. I had wandered the streets for nearly 2 hours, not really sure where I was. I did meet some nice policemen though which I had a chat with before they sent me on my way. I also jumped some fences and grazed my knee and bruised my foot… badly.
Spent another hour or two sitting around and talking shit before we all crashed in the multiple available beds and then getting up only a few hours later for people to go to work and also for us to clean up our mess. All in all I’m about 80% sure it was a great night. Be sure to check out the gallery for the photos, and let me know if you know anyone in then, because there is people I posed with that I don’t know. Oh how I love it!
Last night started off at my place with me, Viscous, Snowflake and Mark having a few drinks at my place and rocking Guitar Hero III before heading in to Flashdance. We headed in there about 10.30 thinking we’ll get in fair quick because of our so called “Priority Entry” cards. No deal. All they give you is free entry, no priority about it. Strike 1 to HQ. So then we had to line up in the line for nearly an hour just to get in. Damn lines, although we did meet some pretty cool people in the line and had some pretty random conversations. When we finally got in they said they were only letting 9 more people in after us unless people started coming out. Lucky for us!
Saw lots of people I knew there. Met up with Clem and her friend Michelle. Randomly saw Benni D at the bar, had lots of drinks, had a jaegerbomb with the crackwhore Kaitlin then went to (flash) dance! Mark and James got sunnies from the giveaway, Michelle got a Vodka Cruiser shirt, which I then stole and wore. Haha, now it’s dirty. Damn white shirt! Then I stole a poster, that was clever of me.
Then I saw my friend Eddie and we had some drinks, good times, until….. I was walking past somewhere and one of the bouncers grabs me and drags me outside! I didn’t even do anything, except steal a poster, but that was ages before then. Strike 2 for HQ!
Then we ended up heading over to Macca’s and having cheeseburgers. Good end to the night, no thanks to HQ. Ended up getting home about 3.30AM maybe 4ish. Now I am at work waiting for our Xmas lunch of Pig-on-a-Spit to cure this hangover of mine… Oh, and the beer that is being provided, I am sure that will help too
Yesterday was Paul Van Dyk’s Beach Party held at the Shores Complex at West Beach. We started off at about 10 in the morning under the gazebo just outside The Room (due to The Room being full of crap). We had fruit smoothies, with vodka, and little sandwiches made by me and my Mum. Thanks Mum! We then had some shots and a few more drinks before heading off in style to the days event.
We got there about a bit after 12, got our VIP passes and then headed in for a day of drinking, dancing, and other general mayhem. We saw people such as Midnight Juggernauts, Riot In Belgium, and of course Paul Van Dyk, plus many more.
Was a great day and saw so many people. Went to a car party thanks to Kiwi, Benny looked after me as usual, Moni tried to destroy my lungs and we danced and danced and danced till late at night. Oh, and of course had to send a few drunken messages and make drunken phone calls to random people. They love it! Thanks to everyone who made it a great day not only for me but as a continuation of Moni’s birthday. Love you all. Work is not fun today and I am very unproductive! Take it sleazy!
It’s Moni’s birthday today, so we went out for tea at the Pink Pig in North Adelaide. Happy Birthday Moni! There was a fair few of us there, eating and drinking, then some of us were hitting the town after. Chandy decided to make a pig of himself and order the ribs
So yeah, everyone ordered normal food, steaks, seafood etc, and Chandy ordered the messiest thing he could find. But he assures us that it was worth it. They even gave him a bib so he didn’t make a mess of himself.
After dinner we went down Rundle St. and ended up at Fumo Blu, then helped a drunk passed out guy into a taxi, and after that we ended up at a very empty London Tavern. We would’ve been lucky if there was 20 people in there. So that was Moni’s birthday. By all reports she had a great night, and that’s what counts!
Parklife was on yesterday and was one of the best days, if not the best day ever. I don’t say that lightly either. After such a great start to the weekend, basketball Friday night, then Hot Air Ballooning Saturday and a Lumberjack party Saturday night, Parklife had tdeliver to impress. And deliver it did!
With a champagne and bacon and eggs breakfast (as well as 5 V’s to give me the kick I needed) to begin with at Benni D’s it was off to a great start. From there it only got better as we headed to Botanic Park to see such names as The Herd, Lyrics Born, M.I.A, Riot in Belgium, Adam Freeland, Derrick Carter, John Course, Shapeshifter, Kid Kenobi & MC Shureshock, MSTRKRFT, Digitalism & Justice. Plus many more.
With all these acts and plenty of drinking and dancing to be done we got right into it. We saw so many different people and had so much fun and took lots of photos. I whored myself out to them as usual and appeared in photos most photos from everyones cameras. Pics have been added on my MySpace page so check them out.
Thanks to everyone who made this day the greatest. I love you all, you rock! Peace out!
