Big Gay Day

// March 27th, 2010 // No Comments » // Partying

Every year the Wickham Hotel hosts an event called Big Gay Day, which usually coincides with Mardi Gras in Sydney, of often features similar acts. The laneway neighbouring the pub us closed off and a massive stage is set up. This years acts included Kelly Rowland, Katie Underwood and a Queen revival show that rocked the place. The day did end badly, Mark suffered from dehydration and collapsed whilst waiting for the main act. We rushed him off to hospital and he spent the night there getting his fluids replenished. Thankfully it was nothing major, just not enough water and too much sun.

Polaroid-ize your pics

www.poladroid.net has a great app that will Polaroid-ize your digital photos. There is a Mac and PC version and it is super-easy to use. If you shake the image with our mouse while ‘developing’ it’ll work quicker. Here are a few I tried out with pics I took at Perth Pride over the weekend.

Mardi Gras 2008

// March 4th, 2008 // No Comments » // Partying, Travel

 Another year, another Mardi Gras. This was my third year at the festival. We headed down to Wollongong from Brisbane last Thursday, we were supposed the leave Wednesday night, but had some very minor car issues that caused an irritating delay. After 12 hours we arrived in Wollonggong and spent the day with Doug, and then headed to Sydney to check into the newly renovated Chifley in Potts Point.

Friday night was spent catching up with Mikey and Yanni who we had not seen for ages, Yanni had his sister and a mate in tow, so we headed off toa very delicious and enjoyable Teppenyaki dinner, i did not catch the egg that was thrown at me.

Saturday was the parade and party. The parade was great, a bit cold though- coming from Qld, we did not pack any warm clothes. The party was packed, and Mark and I had a fantastic night. Have a look at a slideshow from the parade here or view the flickr set here

Sunday was spent chilling out and recovering from the partying of the night before, and we then all headed off to the Rocky Horror Show, which was amazing. I have seen a version of the show before in Auckland, but this was absolutley amazing. The cast, set, sound, everything were just fab. We got Sweet Transvestite VIP tickets, and got given cute tin lunchboxes packed with Rocky Horror goodies, and enjoyed a few drinks in the VIP bar. iOta as frank was almost as good as time Curry, Paul Capsis as Riff Raff was awsome too, and I loved Janet and Rocky too. After the show at a bottle show we bumped into a few of the cast heading off to the after party (should have joined them).

Quick graphic design job

// September 6th, 2007 // 1 Comment » // Design, Graffiti Street Art & Stencils, Partying

Mikey called last night as I was about to leave for the gym and asked if I was feeling creative. I was looking for an excuse to not go to the gym (it also just started raining). And this is what I came up with. The vase graphics I used were created by Ben from Ben Blogged, which I found on Vecteezy. The font for the farewell text is called Cocaine Sans, and the front i use for the ‘design by Ross’ is called BTSE. I did the whole design in illustrator- and it’s completely vector. The ‘click here for a map’ button links to Google Maps, the link was embedded in the final PDF.

Weekend Pics & Video

// September 2nd, 2007 // 2 Comments » // Home, Partying

Karaoke on Thursday night at the Colmslie, I am not much of a singer but really enjoyed watching the talent of Gillian and her mates, Cabaret and Bjork’s It’s Oh So Quiet were performed very well.

Saturday was spent shopping, this is a pic I took of Mark’s Kangaroo Paw. I also had a session at the gym with a trainer, which my muscles are now complaining about.

Saturday night was River Fire, we watched the fireworks from Scott’s work, it was right on the river and we had an amazing view of the fireworks and the F1-11′s as they sped over us. (Thanks Scott- we had an awesomer time)

The fireworks were followed by dinner at the Valley Corner Chinese restaurant. Great Chinese food, eaten with bright green chopsticks on chipped plates. This was followed by a few too many drinks at the Wickham, which left Mark and I feeling very precious on Sunday morning.

Sunday morning was spent feeling a bit seedy from the night before quickly doing some housework, and baking scones for my aunt and uncle Pam and Pax who popped in for a cuppa, we then headed down the road have lunch and try and chose from all the delectable types of sushi coming around on the little train.
