Santa visits Canberra

Saturday night turned into an unexpected drinking festival. It started as a few sneaky European beers in the afternoon at Pinko's to celebrate the fact it was a sunny Saturday afternoon.

Yours truly is truly happy its a Saturday and I have nothing to do on Sunday
(except 6 hours of musical reheasal and 1.5 hours of AFL)
Soon Steve Martin joined us and we amused ourselves by drinking beer, playing chess, and kicking the footy.

While we took turns sawing through branches for the fire we realised this was going to turn into something big.

We donned silly hats and headed towards PJ O'Reilly's for a pint or seven.
Our silly hats. Steve was Santa and I was nicknamed 'little elf'
We managed to score premium seats - that unfortunately came with a free creepy man - for the karoake and we enjoyed(?) the singing until Steve Williams arrived.
The extra member is Steve Williams - not the creepy man
A few more beers and we moved to O'Malley's (spot the theme) and continued on our mission of drinking pints.

The random photographer got a little snap happy.
After busting a grove we downed a fried chicken and chips before heading to where all good nights end - Mooseheads. True to form Mooseheads was as crappy as ever...

However it was still an awesome night!

Those German beers really helped us enjoy the warm Saturday afternoon. The three varieties you left behind, Phil, will be in danger once my thirst returns!

That fire looks pretty good. Cherry trees burn well.

Pretty funny that you posted that random dude's photo up. I wonder if anyone will recognise him. (This is Canberra...)

Anyhoo, the camera seems to have worked a treat. Catch you later! (At the bush dance!)

Can't make the bush dance, I have musical rehearsals all evening.
