Sophisticated and LanSmash crew don’t typically mix together; add a nice Penthouse in the Brisbane city to celebrate two great guys’ birthday’s though and it’s time to break out the champaign!
Thanks to Wilko and Nils for hosting a fantastic little get together last Saturday night and happy birthday!

For sure everyone had a great time and the conversations were free following and friendly. It was great to see everyone dressed up and having a great time, I think we all looked just smashing!

High lights of the night included Kent microwaving alfoil covered Garlic bread and then admitting he had ‘no fraking idea’ that metal in microwaves was a bad idea… Cara running around picking up girls and flexing her muscles screaming ‘I’m the Juggernaut Bitch!’.  Franger attempting to drink over 20 shots in an hour… and of course Nils accompanying his drinking style and paying for it the next day (note to all: drinking everything that Franger gives you could be harmful to your health!)
Steve nearly toppling over the glass table with his “BAM BAM” style dancing.
All in all I was impressed with the level of converstation through out the night and everyone having a general great time with no ugly moments to mention.
Dancing on the Hugh Hefner stylised shag carpet was a trip in itself; here’s a shot of Sarah and I later in the night attempting to air guitar.

Props to Troy who lugged his stereo system over and giving us some pumping beats. A nice widescreen plasma TV allowed us to view photo’s of previous party’s with my newly acquired Mac Mini curtoesy of front row. I managed to tape some of the night with my video camera so when I grab a moment or two I’ll have to see if there is anything useful in there.

I’ve uploaded some photo’s which you can view and comment in the LS photo gallery.

Edit: Here’s a highly compressed version of the short movie I made of the night!
