Had Booze Need Hangover

I am an old bloke who is out of prac­tice. How can I be sittng in my hotel room at 5:30 am after the 4th night of 4 hours or so of sleep and the 3rd night of drink­ing more beer than I had last year and still be alive and well.

WE05 clos­ing party gos­sip, well I don’t think there was any real good gos­sip, as long Tantek Celik gets to his surf­ing les­son today. Oth­er­wise I will be in trouble from Amber after telling her I would look after him. I last saw Tantek in a taxi on his way back to the hotel from Kings Cross, unfor­tu­nately he was with Doug Bow­man and Doug was the only one the King Cross spruikers was try­ing to get into their sleazy night clubs. (well from our small group)

I should do a run down of the whole WE05 event, but the clos­ing party timeline was some­thing like:

1. Con­sume large amounts of beer and very nice pizza at the Pumphouse
2. Watch as Eric Meyer, Derek Feath­er­stone and oth­ers get talked into con­tinu­ing the party­ing in Kings Cross at a bar called the Pep­per­mint Lounge
3. Wander Kings Cross with Doug, Tantek and Bec look­ing for the Pep­per­mint Lounge expect­ing it to be a sleazy dive
4. Find Pep­per­mint Lounge and it is an upmar­ket bar/club off the strip, no sleaze, no naked girls, just pump­ing out music at a volume that made con­ver­sa­tion dif­fi­cult and dan­cing the bet­ter option.
5. Mak­ing sure Tantek and the other inter­na­tional speak­ers got into a taxi going back to their hotel
6. Drink­ing in a bar in Ultimo (oppos­ite the speaker’s hotel) with Miles and Adrain, two other West Aus­trali­ans and Bec from Tassie
