    My thoughts on the meet now I have slept and unpacked and settled back in Perth (ps sadface)

    Friday:
    Unfortunately I was sooo tired on Friday and had a bad stomach, that I didn't feel too up to drinking on the night, so I was the resident sober Sally! (Sir Lancealot also didn't drink) But we spent the afternoon playing video games - mostly Wii sports - all of which I suck at. Lancealot though, is an absolute beast at nearly every Wii sport. It was unreal!

    Then we went out for pancakes! HNB and I shared some Nachos and this Chicken Crepe which was yummy! And at this point everyone had started drinking, and this is where it all went a bit crazy...

    We went off to a Karaoke place where you book out a booth, and let me tell you something, Kent smurfing loves karaoke. This is a man who doesn't need a microphone to belt out with the rest of them, this is a man that screamed out "Can you hear the people sing" from Les Mis, and this is the man who single-handedly created an Earthquake with his left foot during a drunken rendition of 'Take Me Out'. Legend.

    Saturday:

    On the Saturday we headed to Australia Zoo - the one thing I've wanted to do since arriving in Aus, and it was actually a rather special day for Phil and myself as Aus zoo was one of the first things he promised me about Australia before we were dating

    Anyway, the zoo was wicked. I actually felt a bit emotional at times because of Steve Irwin, and I felt like there was really a bit of an atmosphere built around him there which was quite nice, but also a bit sad at the same time. I got to pet some Kangaroos, and illegally petted some koalas too. Oooh welll....

    After the zoo we headed out for Laser Tag, which I will admit I wasn't really too bothered about, I'd never played it before and was a bit apprehensive - and a bit worn out from trekking around the zoo in such hot weather. But OMG it was the BEST thing ever! It was so much fun! I started out on the bottom of the leaderboard, and then ended up on top in first place and in the top 4. What an amazingly fun game it was. Chemical and myself absolutely owned at it too, we were like the Laser Tag dream team!

    Said Laser Tag also prompted the discussion of which EoFFers would be good at it. It was decided that Psychotic and DK would be absolute dicks at it, Iceglow would be okay at it, but would brag about how many times he killed Pauw. Loony BoB would.... well... erm >.> everyone would probably just shoot at him all of the time. Moving on....

    Sunday:
    A bit of a break day, I went with Phil to go meet some of his family in QLD. I basically just rocked up to their kids party, ate a load of sandwiches, cakes, and quiches and then left. We did play Cards of Humanity that night with the EoFF crew, which as Chemical said, the funniest round being mine.

    "what's that sound"

    "a mime having a stroke"

    Although, props to the "What do old people smell like?" "A Super soaker full of cat piss" and anything in which the taint card was played, or that balls deep in a squealing hog one.

    Monday:
    Beach day! and also Lancey's birthday. Here is my favourite beach pic. Look at how majestic the Jiro is....



    All in all, a wonderful weekend and I'm so sad it is over.

    Big thanks to Jiro though, for being an exceptional host and just an all round cool dude! I cannot wait to have you all come crash in Perth sometime!

    VERY important question for you all to answer: Which meet up attendee smelled the best? Thank you in advance.

    This is rather true, but it doesn't help that I'm the kind of player who charges in without caring about any scoring system and bounces around in the open like an idiot shouting "Look at me! I'm a decoy!" Well, that's how it is in video games, anyway... actually in laser tag, when I was a kid, I was distinctly average - never worst, never best.

    Sounds like you guys had a wicked time. Would very much have loved to witness the karaoke session.

    EDIT: Finally remembered to check this thread while at home so I could see pics. I echo Jinx's sentiments. >_>
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    My favourite part of kareoke was tooting on a bottle for an entire song.

    I didn't get many photos so just a couple from me:

    I forgot about that picture.

    I think the best smelling goes to the mime aving a stroke. Tara might have been a close second... not that I spent time smelling her...


    I think a secret pleasure moment was when Happy Noodle Boy professed his hate for me during Lasertag.

    Boldly go.
