Leaving Bris Vegas...

It had been since September since I last saw my Brissy girls, Peta, Monique, Simone, and Natalie. So, seeing as it was Simone's 30th birthday party I decided it was time that I made my way up to Brisbane for the weekend.
The weekend was awesome, the heat was stifling, and the alcohol was plentiful. Simone's party had an 'S' theme, meaning everyone had to go dressed as something that started with an 'S'. Simone was sergeant, Monique a sinning saint, Peta a surgeon, and I was a sleepwalker (featuring my sexy Korean silk pjs). The party also featured Mr and Mrs Smith, several schoolgirls and supermen, spiders, shrek and, well, you get the point.
I didn't get to do a whole lot of site seeing, mostly on account of excessive heat, intermittent squalls of rain, and nasty hangovers. I also didn't get to play gay bingo.
I am now back in Sydney sweating away at a restaurant on Oxford street, getting ready for Mardi Gras. Ahem. I mean, for school to begin...

The pics from the weekend keep coming in. Here's Monique and I escaping the heat... 

The sexiest surgeon ever... 

Another shot of Monique and me... 

one more of me and monique 

and two surgeons talking shop... 

Simone (sargeant) cutting her cake... 

look... twins! 

Peta (the surgeon) has arrived... 

Monique (sinner / saint) and me (sleepwalker)... 

I've just arrived... Simmy and Monique took me to the big, (apparently) famous steak place in Brissy. The best place ever for a vego. 

This is Sarah drunk dancing on Aussie Day. But, ignore that, and instead focus on the view from Mike and Sarah's balcony in McMahons Point... 

Aussie Day winding down... Mikey on the balcony taking in the scenes... 

Sarah dancing, Mathew pointing... 

What's cooler than doing the can-can in the middle of the street? Nothing, Sarah, absolutely nothing... 

It's Australia Day! I'm drunk, jet-lagged, and disoriented! Hooray! 

Mike, not to be outdone, found his own wall to pose in front of... 

I thought I was being all cheeky by standing in the "no standing" zone... only to be told later that "no standing" actually means "no parking". Those crazy Aussies...
