Epicphail.

On a day of umpteen wine glasses and hordes of famished Australians all crammed together, a marvel i did not hear the stinging sound of glass shattering into jagged fragments. Sad truth is, i break at least one thing every event at Chijmes.

What do you get when you have almost 300 millionaire Aussies, 5000 bottles of Tiger Beer, 180 bottles of wine and a live band all at Chijmes? Actually the outcome isn't all that fancy, just loads of wasted beer, electricity enough to power Manhattan for 1 day and very sore feet from all that walking. Then again, there's enough leftover food to feed every staff 10 times over, so it isn't that bad. Was hoping to work over-time till 6am, but the slots were taken up as usual.

I swear to god all whites look the same. I can't differentiate one from another. There's twins, triplets, quadruplets, quintuplets.. octuplets and then there's 3067290847242plets. Yes, that's how similar all these Australians look like.

You : "Hey mate, looking good Jimmy. How's Karen?"
Jimmy : "She's been great, taking care of the kids at home now."
*comes back after getting a beer*
You : "Those bushfires have been real bad aye Jimmy?"
David : "Huh?"

The theme of this event was "Friday the 13th", so from every tree hung cobwebs and silly plastic spiders that wouldn't fool a half-blind autistic 2 year old toddler. Machines from which oozed out fog to smother everyone in mist. Epic failure from the purple lighting to create a spooky and halloween-like atmosphere, better technicians and event planners next time around please, thank you. If i'm not mistaken, there were 2 Friday the 13th this year right?

Oh did i mention my moron-of-a-colleague tried to pick up dry ice with his fingers? I'm sure your immense powers of imagination can conjure up the look on his face when he did. And your profound book of words can replicate the profanities that came flying out of his mouth when he did. Epic phail, hah.
