Pink bits
Well, it's now fading into memory but this year's trip to Sydney's annual Mardi Gras (aka Gay Christmas) was fantastic! It was great to get back to all the fun and games after a break last year (the 'big trip' took priority in '06), dossing at Jo's place with Iain once more (conveniently located a couple of blocks from Taylor Square). It was lovely to see them both again!

General highlights (in no particular order) are as follows: seeing Hedwig and the Angry Inch performed live at last, by the brilliant iOTA; noshing on the delicious ricotta hotcakes at Bill's; pizza and beers at Kerry and Michael's, along with a madcap bunch of Perth ladies in town for their 10th M.G.; doing the Oxford Street shuffle, including the Columbian, the Midnight Shift and the (newly renovated) Oxford; good being dazzled and entertained by the Parade; dancing (communing?) and people-watching at the Party (pics on flickr); sating my Wagamama cravings (hurry up and get to Wellington already); shopping shopping shopping (but only buying one shirt - a very nice Ben Sherman job though); catching up with Luke and Monika (schnitzel is good recovery food) and Cheryl too; and finally, copping a little attention from randoms, which is always flattering!

So after a great refresher, I'm very much looking forward to next's years edition - the 30th anniversary so I'm sure it'll be huge. Happpppy Mardi Gras!
