Freeloading Phill and ...

... The Opening Night

Last night saw the opening of the second annual Bayside Literary Festival.

Unlike last years Festival this one was disappointingly Supervisor Grand Chief K injury free.

AntagonisticAl did a marvellous job of organisation with everything going off like clockwork - I particularly enjoyed the Mayor's surrealistic performance art piece made to look like a Basil Fawlty-esque bumbling mess, bravo!
One must wonder, however, if snacks and drinks do have to stop during the presentations - surely they could be circulated amongst the crowd to save valuable IT staff from wasting away?
Luckily there was ample cheese and decorative fruit at the staff after-party once the formalities were completed and disaster was averted.

Other highlights of the enchanting evening include:
  • Kiwichick and Days of our Libraries with coordinated hair styles
  • Dubrovnik Hater attending with a flock of minions
  • Beeby suffering from a lack of party-pie style foods
  • staff all frocked up to the nines (except yours truly who decided to go with a laid-back "came straight from work" style in a masterstroke of fashion trend-setting)
  • a complete lack of any IT support requirement in my attendance

On my way home I popped in for a quick wine-bar drink with Dubrovnik Hater - now with slightly less minions. Our waiter was amusingly snooty towards us until a rather inebriated fellow tried to enter the establishment and was turned away as he would disturb "these valued customers".

I was home at a reasonably late hour which enabled Sister Serials to give me a late morning wake up call this morning for some frivolous IT support matter.

Sigh! Life is so hard sometimes.
