Tonight's Music: Mouldy Peaches / adam and his package
Tonight's Mood: Cocktails, come down, yeah
So I got to zed to sit in on Annaki and Miss Marni's shift. Miss Seja and Mister Simon from sekiden were there, so we got to play and chat with them for a time which was pretty special.
THEN
WE moved to the poolside scene, aka. GRANDADS BIG HOUSE IN ASCOT.
WE had trays and trays of mangos and strawberrys, turkish breads and chocolate and most importantly about 30 bottles of alchol, including champers,every kind of liquer and snapps, bailys, pimms, vodka by the bucket load and all the other spirits.
On came the cocktails. WE got toasty, there was yelling and giggling. there was only about 15 of us at this stage.
The plan was to get on the punk rock boat cruise at 4pm.
WE kept drinking and realise we were too drunk to get on the boat.
Then we thought, fuck it, we'll go.
after debate.
we then realised it was after 5pm.
so more cocktails and saunas and swims later it was about 8pm on a Sunday night in a good suburb, we decicded we needed more food and took a walk to the local store.
Yes, we've all been on these drunken walks, its dark, you fall over, there is much laughing and yelling and swearing and singing on lyrics.
MUCH SINGING OF LYRICS. Mainly to cars, and familys that got in our path.
we got a call.
The boys were coming round. The punk rock boys.
They had been kicked off the boat. At ages running from 18-26 they had been kicked off a boat.
The story goes that dave was playing idiot on the edge of the boat, stadning on the wrong side of the railing. the captain came out and told said idiot to stop. Dave then said "Just go back and drive the fucking boat faggot" (note they too were drunk and Dave's catchcry for this month is faggot) after much insults running back and forth and dave trying to draw his fist said Captain "Next stop, which in in 30 mins, I am chucking you off this boat mate"
and he did, he got the bar guys to 'escort' dave off.
This started a riot. Lucas began rounding people up (most of them his own band member s who were yet to play) and got off the boat too in protest.
So there they were 30 people 3 totals bands plus gear and friends leaving the boat. They got up during the middle of another band's set and began taking they equipment, walking all over the stage to reclain leads and amps.
Then they were all at our door.
basically the entire punk population of brisbane.
Then we all got drunk together, many many cocktails, which saw John putting bread, pringles and whole passionfruit with vodka and dishing it up to doran who was too drunk to taste it and was sitting in the sauna dancing to music that must have been playing in his head.
we saw cocktails of every concotion inlcluding ones with cherrios in them, and the saddest part if that every one of them got gizzled down.
We saw Petey strip for us. saying "yeah it's okay for me, cause I won't remember this in the morning..... but you might" pulling the whole porn dancing to a tee, flinging his belt and his shirt into his captive audience.
we saw all the boys, boys who sually just drink beer, with chapers glasses all sitting semi nude in the sauna, giggling and tipping cold water on each other.
we saw much wrestling.
we danced, all of us, to pop music, singing along to Patsy Cline.
They left around 4am
we crashed upstairs in grandads bed.
Then we got up around 6.
and all went to uni or work.
I was one of the latter and battled the day throuhg work, still tasting the tequila in my mouth and seeing images of john licking stands of cherrios and flring them at people's butts.
Images of us standing around, with out tequila and salt and lemon ready. And instead of going "1, 2.3 TEQUILA" the boys whould scream lyrics, at one point it was their own, them dashboard, them useless movie shit
My stomach might never recover, from the booze and uterly aching from laughter.
I am tired from lack of sleep and also good time overload.
Such drunken magic has never been so good, perhaps for almost a year. It was unexpected, and good and wrong.... but good.
