Paddys Day 2007

soooo many green people in one place!

what a fun night. liv finally made it to the sunnie coast to see the barleyshakes play for St Patrick's day - and luckily a great big crew of people just happened to be there with us - particularly special was seeing evi, and meeting simon and felicia.

there are a great many stories from this night that won't be going on here at this point, but it was a night of fun, laughs, shooting stars, and emotional development for many of us.

what a strange crowd though! the gig was at the Sol Bar in Coolum, and the crowd were an interesting mix of people who'd come out to celebrate paddys in green style, and teenyboppers in stilettos they didn't know how to walk in, sexy dancing and trying to pick up.

at one point, i was dancing away, as i do, with my eyes closed, and evi told me some bloke was trying to sexy dance with me, and i didn't even know he was there, so he gave up. i was just enjoying myself! yuk. not into the whole picking up randoms in pubs thing. ew.

anyway, one night stretched to a whole weekend - went to peregian originals (dad was very impressed when i called to tell him there was a band there called veteran rex, and made me take photos, which were pretty unexciting) and we all went for dinner and listened to ben play covers in a cafe thing in noosa - which he was pretty unimpressed about i think. i've never seen a performer look so bored! he was even rolling his eyes at me at one point - you could at least pretend to be enthusiastic ben! really.

anyway, the whole thing was heaps of fun. note evi's fantastic artwork - she created amazing designs on us all in body paint.
