[Phalanx]

Went to a party of a friend of a friend of a friend....that kinda deal, I was 17 at the time...it was some rich kid...heard there was free drinks, so me and my guys (ha, all 3 of us) were in. Went there, walked around, listen to some music, met a friend of mine I knew from about 10 years prior with the same name as me, got TRASHED, met the host, discovered it was this asshole I didn't like....no problems, just more of a friend of an asshole group as well...then me and the guys went inside started a fire in a garbage bin for laughs (it wasn't anybodys house, it was a small tennis court function centre joiing to a park...I'd never burn someones house), while every drunk fuck there was freaking out, we made our way out with about 5 mostly full bottles of stuff like bourbon, tequila, tia maria...etc. More'n enough to get us totalled the next day...so, we went back to my friends place, crashed, woke up early, got drunk and stoned, walked all around Bondi, and alone Bondi beach, just hung out, then hit the rest of the alcohol early in the arvo, pretty much kept us going late into the night...we went out again intermittantly, watched (or attempted to) some tv or movies or some shit, ordered pizza...that was fun.
Most of the fun part was after the party...don't really like other peoples parties.

Me and the chick threw a dinner party thing for her b'day a couple years back...just a small gathering of friends and workmates...good food, good drinks, good weed, had microcosmos playing on the bigscreen and rammstein live in berlin playing through the sound system. No fights, nobody getting sick, everybody leaving before they got annoying...it was just a good, fun night.

I have no real clear memory of a lot of parties after that....I vaguely recall a big beach gathering/bonfire thing, the rest were just house parties that me and/or friends more often than not just went in, played locust, and left.
Two good ones though...more gathering nights than parties...I wouldn't really remember but for photographic evidence...
1 - Fell asleep on a toilet...not using it or anything, I must've just decided it was as good a place as any...
2 - Fell asleep during the night at some point...maybe more passed out, I dunno...with friends at a lookout point on a big hill...we busted up a big pergola, some asshole pissed on a bum (I think I had a go at him for that, or at least felt it was a little unfair), drank a ?I think? 2-litre beer called a Darwin Stubby, among LOTS of other stuff...and yeah, there's a picture of me, sitting up, but asleep, wearing an ice-bag on my head. Not for long, probably just dozed off for like 10 minutes...There's another one of me they mustve taken while I was waking up, same shot, I just look all zombie and eye's half-open.

Parties...don't much like 'em, gatherings, always work better, and nobodys house gets trashed.
