"Just when you thought it couldn't get any better.."
Is this houses motto. It's a hard one to argue with, things do get better and better, sometimes they get so much that it's dizzying!
It's been party month. Party month has lived up to its name. I could go a whole year without seeing another birthday, party or balloon again. It's party saturation to the max. I've had so much fun!!
Pete, in what is a most respected move, came from Sydney to hang out with us for our street party On friday night we went to see Stereo Total, the gig was ok, nothing fantastic, but a good excuse to go out and watch a crazy german and french chick singing above a casio beat. we got a little pissed and danced. Ben was going off! The Stereo Total flag got stolen and the girl singer got very annoyed, but it was returned and everything was happy.
We came back home to listen to old crap 80's songs, Ben got particulartly excited by Kiss from a Rose by Seal and started humping the air like a wild dog on heat, then we had an argument as to whether Drazic or Ryan from heartbreak high were better characters. I stick by Ryan, Drazic was a dick for most of it, but Ben and Pete powerfully disagreed.
Megs told us to keep it down, for the first time ever, so we did. I dreamt of painting Broccoli's in glow paint and putting them under U.V lights to take photos off them. It could be good..
Steve showed up thrusting his hips in party anticipation. We spent the morning shopping and hanging lanterns, streamers, getting the sound system and the food ready. Bit by bit people arrived. It was rather lax until the sound system showed up, and people began flooding in.
By 7 pm I was drunk. The haystack of love was set up, 20 cents a turn, same for gravel hill, loungeroom adventure, pinata 2000 and the toilet. 20 cents, what a bargain, yet people got narky when I demanded they pay to use the toilet!
"That's 20 cents! I'm sorry I don't make the rules"
"Yes you do, it's your party!"
"Oh.. Ok, I make the rules, but I don't enforce them!"
"Yes you are, you're enforcing them right now!"
"OK! I make the rules AND I enforce them! Now pay the 20 cents."
People got annoyed, idiots.
Salsa dance music, beers were drunk, loads and loads of nachos eaten, (I mean loads), the vibe was perfect, street party atmosphere in a big parking lot with dim colorful lighting, I dj'd some great tunes hitting that perfect balance between cheese and unknown, then danced away like crazy.
"It's like all my dreams come true!" I shouted into the air as I danced to Young Mc and Michael Jackson with 30 others.
Zoe came by, she brought me a Futon, we snuggled and sat by the fire. Everyone was there, Kieran, Chaya, Lex, Wyon, Caroline (she was going OFF dancing on chairs and hanging by the haystack of love), Steve, Chelsea, Debs, George (hanging out with clouds of smoke billowing out his nostrils offering everyone some of his constantly lit joint), a young boy called Noah who adopted me as his friend and hung out with me.
As the night wore on Tarquin played his set wearing half a pinata on his head, Carla and I drummed in the background but she got annoyed at a guy that was interrupting her or drumming too loud. I was on fire, hitting every beat I meant to. Pete went to the neighbors house to drink tea for a while.
Megs ran out to get me, "Forget everything, this is the best shit you've ever seen! come with me now!" I ran after her.
Ben had poured a liter of oil on the kitchen floor and people were sliding around dancing and laughing, Megs and I slid around holding arms until we both fell over laughing.
As the night wore on, Steve and I performed a couple of Beta Male Sex Palace tracks, they went down well. I walked indoors thinking the party was close to over but I'd forgotten about the oil and the dancing inside, the party was still going OFF!
I sat in the living room, where clarinets, a double bass, bongos and guitars were played and jumped in with my own beats. Quick enough I was busting fat with everyone else and the place took off.
Like an explosion of perfect energy our jam became a tribal beat that sent everyone crazy. Afterwards I couldn't conceal my joy, I looked at the guy next to me and hugged him. Zoe was waiting for me to go to bed, I finally called it quits and went to sleep. It was a good night too.
What a party.
