Jasons Big American Adventure: SUPRISE !!!

I spent Saturday out with Scott and Jarek at a party hosted by friends of theirs. Someone was leaving to go overseas, all a bit familiar. It was a cool day and it was raining, but that didn't damper anything and I had a great afternoon. William was having some people over for drinks that evening and we were to leave this party and join William for his drinks. I guess we were suppose to leave by 7.30pm but at 8.30pm we were still at the first party. I didn't think anything of it as it was Will's friends just coming over to have a drink with him, well that's what i thought until we finally rocked up. Scott and I were giggling drunk as we walked up the stairs of Will's apartment to which we were greeted by a big 'finally' from Will and the faces of all my friends, even Parker from New York was there. William had thrown a suprise farewell party for me, and Scott got me there late. There were more drinks, food and a absolutely fabulous cake created by Silvia which she apparently based on the photo of me lying on Haulover Nudist Beach, Miami. I was stoked, and then of course I got drunk. The party attendees was of everyone that I had become close to while in San Francisco, people I call true friends. After spending a lot if time in San Francisco I ended up knowing a lot of people, but these people were the important ones

The following day we hit El Rio. I like going to El Rio even though I'm not a salsa dancer. Its usually a great afternoon to sip on 2 or if I dare 3 of Christina's margarita's. They are strong but good. I don't know of an outdoor salsa bar here in Sydney, not sure if we have the Hispanic community to influence such an activity. Afterwards we had a spot of dinner in the Castro and then off to the bars. Parker and I were the last ones standing, and finally when we got home proceeded to drink and make a mess of Williams kitchen by trying to pack portions of the left over cake into zip lock bags and putting them into the freezer. What a mess!
