Adey's 26th Birthday blowout

(I didn't think my words could do justice to this party, but Kirms has requested this entry.)

On a horridly hot, muggy, smoggy day, the night started off at The Metropol at 7:20pm because Marta, Krijn and I were early. A jug of sangria later, we sat back and watched the crowd and waited for Adey + mates to roll up.

And roll up they did! Pretty much as soon as he arrived, the festivities (i.e. us trying to get him drunk) began. There was also ice-cream cake which was awesome but quite difficult to eat due to the difficulty of us finding a staff member who could/would get us knives, plates and spoons. There is a photo of Adey giving up and actually drinking the cake somewhere.

Another note about the Metropol - don't order the tapas. Not because it's bad, its quite good, but because each serving has about 3 items on a giant plate *eye roll* and it was hugely overpriced. It was recommended that 3 plates is enough for 2 people to share. We ordered 15 plates for 5 people...we had to order extra food due to our hunger and to line our stomachs for the alcohol. The tapas might also have been the reason why we had to wait ONE HOUR for the food to arrive. There was a lot of questioning the staff about whether they had our order ready or not.

Anyway, since the crowd was standard St. Kilda - little girls in little dresses...many with questionable fashion taste, the boys were in heaven. Marlene and I on the other hand complained about the quality of the males. Tsk. Around about midnight or so we decided to find ourselves a classier crowd of people...but we went to The Elephant & Wheelbarrow anyway :-P

There....things got a little bit more raucus. There were more shots, a *body shot*, a huge line to get into the ladies' loo, a lot of smirnoff blacks, I remember hitting Ash in the face, and a bunch of guys rubbing their 1, 2, 3 and 5 day growths against my face when I complained about someone being hairy.

I pulledup alright the next day, but two days later, Adey, Ash and Kirm are still eating deep fried foods. And with that, I declare the party a job well done!
