Drinks at Antonio's
Went out with Andre and his crew last night. Andre had a gallery opening, but Ivy and I arrived just as he was closing up. In other words we were just in time for the after drinks.
We all head over to Antonio’s Bar. Antonio’s is a sweet little Japanese bar, Christchurch’s smallest bar. The 12 of us packed the place out. We started with some Asahi, Plum WIne, before moving on to some Saki and Sochu. The barman, Aki, also made us his signature drink named after himself. It’s kind of like a Mojito with lemon cordial.
During our time at the bar I got to talking with Tjalling, who I haven’t seen in quite a while. He is a biker, so our bar chatter headed in that direction after a while. He told me about a site called Teabags on Top Tubes, which is site dedicated to photos of guys taking photos of their balls resting on the top tube of their bike frame. God I love the internet, you’ll find shit that you could never think of in your wildest dreams.

Happy New Year
2009 is here! Ivy and I spent our last minutes of 2008 with friends at our flat. It was a bit of a reunion for the boys. Nick, Simon and Dixon were here with their respective dates, Carolyn, Jillian and Tarren.
We drank and told stories of old. When it was getting close to the New Years count down we turned on the tele…. in typical New Zealand style there was only movies on T.V. No countdown!! So in the end we youtubed the New Years song and had our own count down.
We walked into town after and hit a couple of bars in Popular Lane and Sol. Square. Sat down amongst the party goers, talked some more and dealt with asshole bartenders that didn’t like serving us waters. A couple of hours of this and we started to head home. Taxi’s were impossible to get, so we walked home.
To all of you who I didn’t already text before running out of money on my phone Happy New Year! I hope 2009 treats you fairly and happiness finds you.
