My birthday party 2007
Ok well my birthday was.............. interesting this year.
First of all I would like to say my friends are awesome and I love you all very much. Don't know what I would do without you!
The night started off with everyone coming over to our place. Gaz is full of awesome because not only did he organise the keg he also bought over a whole fuckload of firewood for us to use along with other things.
There were a few dramas to start as the pub forgot to give us the tap for the keg so Gaz had to go back again and get the tap. When he returned it would not work and after a call to the pub we found out they had given us the wrong tap but couldn't provide the right tap because it was being used.
Luckily Gaz has MacGyver skills and made the tap work with the help of a pen lid.
In the meantime I did all the girls make up and let me just say they all looked fabulous!
By then it was about time to head off to Combichrist so off we went.
It was great to go out with a big group of us again, we haven't done it in so long!
The concert itself was fairly average because of the obvious problems with the laptop and missing 1/2 hour worth of songs. By the time the music started up again I wasn't really in the mood so spent my time chatting to glittalogik at the merch table.
After the concert we headed back to our place for some more drinks and general partying. A huge thank you to virul3nt for lending me $20 as Gaz and I got left in the city when everyone went back to our place and neither of us had any money on us.
Not long after I got a call asking if the band could come back to our place because no after party had been organised.
While I would like to point out I have a rule of not letting people I don't know come to my house for parties, I said ok if it was just a small group (i.e. the band and the promoters/djs). But when everyone turned up there were a whole heap of posers/groupies etc.
Now I did try my very hardest to be nice and welcoming etc but however it's very hard to do when people do not have any respect for my house and therefore me.
Anyone who knows me at all knows I do not give a shit about the scene or if you're in a band or whatever (which I would like to point out I was told on numerous occasions). That does not mean that me or my friends will give you free/discounted drugs or booze which we bought for OURSELVES for MY BIRTHDAY PARTY! I do not appriciate being made uncomfortable in my own home.
Besides the fact the keg cost us $230 + the drugs and was never meant for a huge party, just a few friends.
In any case there were a few cool people we met like Luke, and a few members of the band.. Andy, and Shaun were cool from the little I spoke to them. And John was awesome.
But after a while I thought it was about time the other drummer + the roadie left and at that point so did Joseph and Andy.
On the way out the roadie picked up a big fucking knife from our kitchen and started waving it around which only proved my point more.
Much love to fest_of_claw & illdrinn for acting as bouncers and kicking people out. I was much past the point of doing it myself I think. I was feeling a wee bit fragile.
After they left I was much more relaxed.
I would like to say thank you to those people who came to our house and actually thanked us for our hospitality, I think that most of the attitude was because most of the band + tag-alongs must have thought that it actually was the after party and not my birthday party.
The day was rounded up with fest_of_claw and letthembleed, decker, illdrinn, Gaz and I in the loungeroom (it was too cold to stay outside) in true trashbag fashion.
Today Sam and I took off work so we could clean up the house which has been relitivly pain free.
The keg was an awesome idea as it was so easy to clean up the cups rather than bottles etc so thanks to Gaz and fest_of_claw for convincing me that it was such a good idea.
So to finish this huge entry (probably the longest I have made in quite some time) I would like to say this:
1. My friends fucking rock! Thank you for coming and generally just being so awesome!
2. I am going back to my rule of not letting strangers into my house. After Saturday it proved YET AGAIN why I had this rule to begin with
3. If you are reading this and you ever bring attitude into my house you must have severly missed the fact that my friends and I do not care who you are, it does not give you reason to be a dickhead to me or my friends or insult my hospitality.
All in all my birthday was good besides a few little hickups.
