anzac eve (gene/yolande housewarming)

for a few weeks we've been wanting to drop a house party at 5 ruby st, largely to celebrate the latest two additions to our 6-bedroom palace: yolande moved in about 3 or 4 weeks ago after replying to a poster at uni, while gene came over in february (i think) to try living with matt cop for the second time.

anyway, because tom plays gigs every friday and saturday night, and because people who work know that april is the month of public (hangover) holidays, the night before ANZAC day made perfect sense...
and besides working a shift at the video store, playing mixed netball and watching australia's next top model, no one has plans on a tuesday night.

Thanks to the hard-working smoke machine (and the excessive smoke machine juice ben jones brought over) you couldn't see 5cm in front of your face in the lounge room and hall -- but sadly could see rayson dropping his dacks and posing with a mangina during a game of strip-cardsofdeath (with two fully clothed girls, four not so fully clothed guys).

it seemed everyone had a good time, so i hope we made the ANZACs proud.

Oh, i almost forgot to mention tom's moving rendition of the last post/reveille, with a special encore in coup's bedroom while he was trying to sleep.

and my jeans have a major rip in the crotch.
