So... Champagne and CHAMBORD cocktails, not whatever the iPad turned it into. So, I talked to random peeps, found some friends to start the real party with, started the game of Smooth, and then the limoncello was almost gone, and someone told me the booze from the Canadian party or something had been donated here, and to go and get a bottle of it so we could keep playing. So I went to the bar but the woman didn't want to give me a whole bottle of anything, and she didn't know who Anastasia was, so isaid that ok, I'll just have a spiced rum and cola and went back.
People came to see Anastasia and heard about our alcohol problem so took me back and we grabbed the last of the spiced rum, and a nearly full bottle of triple distilled vodka. Yay! Some real drinking could begin! So we started playing never ever....
We even managed to collect more people! Corby came back at some random point, and Colleen and Len joined our party. We stayed drinking and in theory playing never ever until Rachel and Anastasia went home, then we retired to Len's room to keep drinking and talking. Corby left at four so I guess it was a very very late night!
So the next day was the banquet. I got two hours sleep the night before, so I managed to shower and throw on my awesome dress and some makeup, and we headed down. I felt kinda seedy and sick LOL and struggled through the tri-tip dinner and blah salad. The dessert was very rice chocolate ganache and that was nice but on my tummy that morning... It was hard work. So I ended up escaping before desse had even finished being served to every one in the hall, and padded out for two hours.
I missed Alisa getting her award, for which I am dreadfully sad, but she has heaps of friends there cheering for her. I am so very pleased for her. She works bloody hard at Twelfth Planet Press, and I am glad she is getting international recognition for what she does, and the awesome autors she e works with. Ok, iPad is going weird again, I guess there will be a part three of this post...
