Guess the song. (Seriously, make some really obvious guesses or you’re going to be kicking yourself when you Google the title of this post).
Saturday saw the first Wendy House arrive so we - we referring to the whole Sarann crew (or are we Norman and the Jets; or are we the Chris Worfolk experience featuring Michelle) kicked things off with a warm up at Circle Party Central. The night included some drinking, some spinning of the old records on my shiney decks and even some karaoke (an event we hope to repeat under the new name of “An audience with Bryony Gaskell”).
It was good to see a few people I haven’t seen in a while. Notably Sophie who has to strain with the problems of post-graduation life and Fonze who has now come crawling back to his real friends (what’s the emoticion code for sunglasses? :p). Plus any excuse to use my sound system is a good one - as Norm correctly points out, the whole point of the night was just to play Cascada really.
Wendy was good as always. I got bought a drink by a girl at the bar which was rather cool. Evanescence - Bring Me to Live was just coming on and being desperate to get back to the dance floor (she explained) she asked if I was being served and if so could she put her drinks through with me). I told her I wasn’t being served and she took this to mean “I am being served I just don’t want to help you” and bribed me with a drink. I then went on to explain it still wasn’t going to save her any time but that was my limit. At some point it’s just not worth trying to avoid a free drink ;).
All in all (how often does the last paragraph in my blog post end with those three words?) it was a good night and indeed a very good 3 days. With exams overshadowing the whole of Chrismukkah (not to mention the holidays themselves never really being a nice time) it was good to properly unwind a little. Ah well, back to the grind I guess.

Come Out Swinging is, I recall, an Offspring song off…Ixnay on the Hombre? Not sure about the “Don’t turn away” part tho.

Spot on. “Don’t turn away” is part of the lyrics. Album was Conspiracy of One but I never the less remain impressed (y).

Ah, I was getting it confused with Come Out and Play. Which is, in fact, on Smash. Not Ixnay on the Hombre. So I was doubly wrong.
