Finally recovered from a big weekend of not much sleep - and I only had 8 drinks in 3 nights!

Thanks heaps to the sponsors of the event including Cool Content (http://www.cool-content.com) who donated the $10k worth of content that I won and Pistol Media (http://www.pistolmedia.com) for the content that Leisa won!!!

:bjump:

Stay tuned for more coverage from the event in the next couple of weeks!

The only thing that stopped this event from being perfect was the numbers, because as always, people pay and don't show up! If you are considering coming to the next one (march or april '05 at this stage) please contact me and I'll put you in touch with Ricki :okthumb:

Barring a real emergency how the fuck can you pay for something and not show up? :blink:

Ok TE.. here is the deal... you actually, PAY, and then you just, DON'T show up. Its madness I know.. but that is how its done. First you pay. Then you don't show up. hehe

register now, seats are limited ;-)

oh and hi yug & welcome!!!!

everyone Yug is an old friend of mine (who happened to go out with my sister Kez for a year) ... he's a kick ass designer and I can vouch for his work

he's a bit shy though, so be gentle :awinky:

Thats right, so shy its taken me years to make only one post :awinky:

Thats a pretty good rap, my designs kick ass :D ... I think they usually only reach the heights of a mild spanking on the butt, but then again, I'm my own worst critic.

Thanks for the warm welcome thou cj, was great to catch up on the coast too.

Nice pics!

Couldn't find Lisa in any though. Must be a talent. hehe

drav, I know she loves having her photo taken and seen so let me make this easy for you ...

:biglaugh:

:bdance: :bjump:

ROTFL!!

Thank you, CJ.

Lisa, you look lovely as always.

Someone please remove Dravyk's posting privileges until he sobers up...clearly drunk again...I look like crap in all of them. :P

I was gonna say something but I figured that I said enough on Sunday night when I made EVERY attempt to play "catch-up" for not actually being there until Sunday night.

I finally sobered up about 15 minutes ago.

:)

LMAO @ ToyBoy

I wish I had my audio recorder sunday night ... baldy is one of the few people who won't let you talk over him - it was a classic to watch!!

I hear you guys had a big one after dinner?!?!? I'm very glad I didn't join you in the second half of the night :biglaugh:

Speaking of audio recording, was I correct in seeing a microphone on the front desk during the discussion forums? Does that mean that there are some soon to be released AAIC cd's coming out soon for those that were unable (i.e. lazy and/or hungover) to make it?

correct yugster ;-)

i recorded almost the entire thing ... but it will take me a while to edit out the pouring of water which was amplified in the room and sounds like a urinal event ever 15 minutes LOL

there's about 6 hours of audio total :awinky:

2nd half of the night?

More like the last 3/4 !!!

I dragged Mark and Kezza and Craig into Surfers, Mark and Kerry wisely left as it got messier, Baldy hung around until it was a TOTAL mess, then after he left I messed the mess up some more.

Guess I needed to blow off steam.

Good warm up for Florida I suppose!

Thanks CJ, you are a class act girl.

:rokk:

I'm glad you got the steam out pre-florida ;-)))

and I told you Baldy was a genius - possibly the most you'll ever learn at a single dinner sitting 2nd only to Papa Serge. Excellent dinner all round, great company - old friends and new ;-)

Stay tuned for the first site from Leisa & I - she's pumped! :awinky:


& thank you ;-)

I had dinner with Lisa and Forest there wasnt any peeing in Florida last year.
