Mardi Gras is Gay

Yesterday was Sydney's Mardi Gras. I have never seen that many tranies and gay people in my entire life. It was pretty bizzare. Apparently it's the second biggest gay pride/mardi gras thing in the world, behind SF. Rather than take part in the gay festivities some of our friends had a Mardi Gras party. In this country all parties have a theme. You can't just show up and drink. Most people have dress up parties ( simialr to our Halloween). Me being too cool for school and playing the "I didn't know, I'm American" card again got by with out too much harassment. The party was awesome. The dudes throwing the party were all dressed up in pink hot pants and small tight shirts. Prett gay... pretty Mardi Gras... pretty funny. The party was BYOB, which means that if you show up, late like we did, everyone will drink your stash of beer from the tub because they've already drank all theirs. This happens all the time, so me being the alcoholic that I am brought along a fifth of JB as back up. Sure enough the beer was gone... and I starting swilling back the JB. I also proceeded to pour it down peoples throats and then yelling at them for being pussies and not thinking about bring their own back up plan.

This is the most unorganized post in the history of the world. That's what happens when you drink til 5 am. I'm a bit out of it. Sorry. To make up for this awful post I give you pics...

Went to TropFest last Sunday. It's a huge outdoor short film festival. We got there about 5, it started raining at 7, the films started at 8, we left at 8:45, and there was a huge thunderstorm by 8:47. No cabs were stopping for us cause we were soaking wet so we walked a couple miles back to the house in pouring rain. That was one of the worst storms ever, a person died because there car got swept of the road due to massive flooding. Nuts.

Are those little ladies wearing name tags? Is that an Aussie thing too?

By the way, that briefcase thing is awesome!

No. The name tags were given to you as you walked in. They all had a silly name on them and the guy would look at you try to decide the name. (eg: Bluto from Animal House)

Yeah I still can't belive I made that briefcase.
