Anyway, one day he comes right up to me and says, apropos of nothing:
"They never used to let me have fun... but they do now"
and then he just walked off.
So many memories... that cannot be shared in public.
(It was an acquaintance's 21st birthday party on a Mon or Tues night in the front room, attended by about 50 people, and I was terrible. The friend I was helping became a pro DJ a bit later. I certainly didn't).
Great days.
I didn’t make it all that often to the daylight hours, but my god when I did, those all nighters were something to behold.
And that 24 hour bottle shop up near Dandenong road was quite handy for the after party too.
They must’ve been on LSD, because it seemed like the most amazing thing they’d ever seen. The spent minutes holding up and gazing at it in wonder. Before dropping it on the floor and taking it in turns trying to slide on it like a cartoon character would (but barely moving a centimetre). Two trippers just having the absolute time of their lives while the rest of the chaos continued around them, everyone oblivious to it.
I want to tell a story about Lucy the Lesbian, but I’m not going to.
That said, the Thai food was remarkably good if you went in early enough.
