Timeline
The elevator that didnt work
Got there, and I get scanned. So does the Afro. Some girls go into the non-working elevator. 10 minutes later they come out.. they had been taking photos! They looked highly embarrassed, and we take pics!!

Entertainment
Around 1am the organisers brought out Lion dancing for the chinese new year celebrations (forget Australia Day celebrations).. and it was a nice addition to the night experience in general.

Music/Atmosphere
RnB – Good, good, no problems. Everyone was dancing all the time
Trance room – it was dead.. not many trancers tonight.. 3 or 4 at most at the same time were shuffling it out.

Meeting 18 year olds
Met some randoms. They were 18, and thought we were 18 as well!! How embarrassing to ask them to keep guessing until I said I was 24. I didn’t even both telling them that my friend was 26. Thank god for looking young. They 18 year olds said they would never be clubbing when they were 24… but we had a bit of a dance. The guys in the group cracked onto the girls in ours. What’s new.

Photographer spots me
Photographer Will (www.willthekill.com) spotted my afro and took a picture. He gave me the the nickname ‘The Wig Man’, and he mentioned that I was a big part of his website! Niiice!

Alcohol limits
No shots after midnight, including jager bombs. Enough said.

Coda
More dancing. Got tired, then we left. A nice night.
