Friday September 28,
I met Ken in Hawaii the first time i was there summer of '05... He's been in Australia for a few months now travelling around the coast. I was up to visit him in Port Douglas in August to see the Reef... He flew down to Sydney just for the Sleaze Ball weekend and i had the joy of breaking him in to Sydney myself... He's been living in a tent for the last 6 months backpacking so he was pretty stoked to get here. He arrived on Thursday and I took him on a quick tour of the city on Friday... Hyde Park... Mrs. Macquaries Chair... The Opera House... Da Bridge... All the good stuff. It was a warm beautiful day and it felt so good not being at work. As we were walking around
the Quay we ran into these two japanese fire entertainers shouting out "PLEASE COME. FIRE SHOW! START 5 MINUTES!" Thoroughly entertaining! We ended the tourist tramp with a beer at the Glenmoore Hotel in the Rocks with Jason and the Bridge Climbers. Exhausted we all went to bed early.
Saturday September 29,
A Lazy morning of cafe bacon and eggs at Bronte beach, followed by a Hugh Jackman spotting and a coastal stroll to Bondi. The calm before the storm...
In the afternoon Ken, Jase and I scrambled to get our costumes (handmade ourselves) organized for Sleaze Ball. Later on a bunch of friends met us at my place for some pre-sleaze drinks and to wish Jason a happy birthday. Jeff, Dave, Rob, Zanah, Jill, Bryan, Tracy, Chris, Michael and Nick were all in attendance. Zanah helped with makeup and Jill tailored our capes. We were off...
Sleaze Ball is a huge annual dance party which raises money for a even bigger dance party Mardi Gras in March. It falls on the October long weekend so it is one of many dance parties. This Sleaze Ball was called Zirkus so the dress theme was something along the line of circus performers... We dressed up as Spartans from the movie "300"... which isn't really circus but oh well! The whole shebang is a big camp production with three different venues to dance at and some pretty amazing shows every couple hours. The 4am production was absolutely incredible... a ringmaster, the half man/half woman, midgets, a Strong man and Cosima Da Vito singing away. We danced till the sun came up...
Sunday September 30,
Made back home from Sleaze Ball around 7am for a quick shower and fresh up before hitting the day dance party at manacle with Dave, Jase and Ken... yes i know, another dance party, because 8 hours of dancing at Sleaze Ball wasn't enough...
...We danced at Manacle until 2pm when we all headed home for a quick 4 hour nap before Ken, Jase and I headed to our last dance party called "Action" at the art house. (Yes that's three dance parties in two days)
I've never been so tired...
This weekend was by far the craziest thing I've ever done... by far the best weekend I've ever had... and by far the most dancing my feet have ever danced! So glad i got to share it with some of the best people in the world!
I'm taking next weekend off.
