'Straya

Australia Day Sat 26th January saw the team and I heading to the Dirtybird showcase at The Ivy. Well what a strange day indeed. We arrived after numerous tankards of my White Peach Sangria and made it in to find ourselves amongst one of the strangest crowds I've ever experienced. There were 18y/o grommits fresh from Dee Why. There were 50y/o women clutching vodka's with a gaggle of friends. There was a table of oldies playing chess. Lots of girls with coloured hair. One lady had a mangled looking peacock outfit on, complete with a dismal looking tail feather display. The toilet queue was abysmal. the best part about the whole thing was Claude himself. I'm not very crowd tolerant but my friends up the front were given beers and vodka from the man himself, who not only played at Chinese Laundry after the Ivy but also somewhere else after that. The man clearly knows how to partay.

Chinese laundry is smaller that I remembered - like when you go back to visit primary school and you giggle at the tiny wee toilets. It was so loud I was having heart palpitations - NOT due to my age I checked. I managed to snap this pic amongst my wandering around half cut. Good day :)
