James' 20th

So after a 68 point win in our first game for points of the season I was on a high travelling back from Caboolture heading to my good mate James' 20th gathering. It was set to be a good night with a beach side setting down at Shelley Beach.

Expecting to be late due to the game I downed a few Hahn Super Dry beers in the car thanks to my good mate Ryan. We were dropped straight too James' house and realised we were pretty much the first ones there. Ryan continued to feed me beers as more of the guests arrived. Before we knew it there was around fifteen of us packed onto the balcony trading Jagermeister shots which certainly got a few of us going.

After we sung happy birthday and sat down for a few more liquid pleasures James's mum delivered the bad news that they had a complaint from a neighbouring unit, so the party had to continue elsewhere. It was a given that it would be Mooloolaba most likely The Wharf.

As I had no money, I thought my night was too end here. But thanks to my fellow un-employed, friend, Steve, he offered to pay my cover charge. So off to The Wharf we went, I stuck with Steve and another one of our mates, Damian. We were too meet the rest of them up there.

When we got there it was around 11pm which meant it wasn't going to be that busy...yet. After we waited around five minutes to get in downstairs we went straight to get our stamp for upstairs.

It wasn't long before the three of us and another one of my mates were on the dance floor. Damian goes alright with the ladies so before we knew it, we were pretty much surrounded by them. Which is pretty unusual for myself.

The night went on and we ran into a few more mates some from James' and some that I knew from other places so there was plenty of us scattered around which worked in well with everyone I think.

As I wasn't drinking while I was there I started to sober up which meant I would'nt last on the dancefloor for much longer. When 2.45am came I found myself outside alone trying to figure out a way home. Eventually I stumbled in my door and slumped on my bed about 4am.

All in all it was probably one of the best nights I have had there. Mostly because I did'nt write my self off which was starting to become a habit and I can actually remember the majority of the night. Also the people that I went out with and met out were just there to enjoy the night without any trouble. And I would also like to say well done to the DJ who killed it.

Happy Birthday James!

The usual night out!

Well it was back to my old stomping ground, Mooloolaba. After not going there in the best part of a month I was quite looking forward to heading up there to which shaped to be a good night as I had my first trial game of footy (aussie rules) that day. So a few of us lived up to the tradition of a few drinks after the game at the pub, which led to a few too many for some of us (especially me).

Me and a mate went back to his and had a few more drinks as we were to meet the rest of them out. We had no real way of getting there so we walked to a bus stop down the road with drinks in hand, this is where my first set-back of the night was, a security car pulled over and out jumped a copper, he got us for drinking in public, $100 fine each. We then got on the bus and proceeded towards our destination.

After the most expensive bus ride in the history of man-kind we went to a bar/club named Vibes where we met up with mates from footy and other just the usual crowd in there. It was pretty fun, had plenty to drink and hit the dance floor and as I was told the next morning I hooked up with an alright chick which is pretty unusual for me as the beer goggles are normally in affect if I am drunk enough to be on the dance floor!

Then it was off to the most popular club on the Sunshine Coast, The Wharf Tavern (formerly known as Fridays). They stung us $10 each too get in and thats just downstairs where the live band plays. They charge you another 10 smackers to get upstairs where the DJ's play. The night wore on as most of it was spent on the dance floor im pretty sure. At about 2.3o I ran into a girl that I was kinda meant to be meeting there, we then left. Ill let your imaganation run wild with how the rest panned out!
