A Warwick 21st!!
So Bee's friend from work Laura had her 21st on the weekend and Bee and I went. It was a road trip weekend as the party was in Warwick which, for those that don't know is here (thanks Whereis!)
We took a couple of passengers and it is amazing how a little car like mine can struggle with a couple extra ppl and some bags etc. Driving through Cunningham's Gap was a ton of fun in both directions but it just wasn't the same as the car felt heavy and I wasn't able to extract the most fun from the situation. Oh well there's always next time! :p
The party had a "Doctors and Nurses" theme and with Bee conveniently breaking her leg she was a patient for the night. I went as a Doctor. Our two passengers Jack and Emma went as a Doctor and Nurse respectively. The dinner/party part of the evening was held in the old King's Theatre and lots of shennanigans were had... there was a stage up front where lots of loud, drunken "singing" (read: screaming) was happening and where a few of us did The Time Warp when the song came on.
Quite a few people commented on the fact that Jack & I looked like real Doctors and we played it up all night, it was great! What do you think?
Disclaimer: I have, somehow, managed to lose my digital camera. Therefore all photos were taken on my phone in a rather dark hall. I've touched them up a bit to try and make them a bit better but it's the best I had available at the time... so sue me!
Bee was a very convincing patient with a wheelchair, crutches and an actual broken leg. Throughout the night she had plenty of Nurses and Doctors looking after her and here is a shot of her with our other passenger Nurse Burley.
Unfortunately despite the alcohol that was trying to convince us we were real doctors not everyone made it through the dinner alive. This poor chap didn't even get to finish his bread roll!
Bee's wheelchair and crutches were a hit with everyone all night with many different people taking the chance to have a go... this resulted in at least one injury that we are aware of but it was fun! Even Doctor Jorge took time out from attending patients and bossing nurses around to have a spin!
The birthday girl was popular all night but finally stood still long enough for a shot with Bee.
After we got kicked out of the Theatre (which was part of the RSL) we headed off to some pub whose name I have forgotten. I danced more than I have in a loooong time and Bee & I had a ball. Bee sat in her wheelchair and grooved while everyone else danced around her. At least two people started playing with Bee's crutches who were complete strangers and one chick nicked off with Bee's helium balloon from the party. I got it back though although she wasn't particularly happy about handing it over!
All in all it was a great night and well worth the trip. Bee's own 21st party is this Saturday night which means two 21sts in a row for us! Bee's will be better of course :p
