girls night out

aka, a big weekend...

on thursday night. after i had taken my car on a date to the movies i dropped in at post choir drinks - which is always lovely. at least a dozen of us, sometimes closer to 20, invade a local cafe/bar and completely dominate the outdoor area! right there we planned for all 6 of the "cleavage club" (the younger group of women in the choir, most of us have ample cleavage...) to go see Valentines Day on friday. when planning this i had forgotten that i have guides on a friday now, but thankfully we went to a later session and so i only had to leave guides a little early.

anyhoo, got to the movie - no-one bought Libby a ticket, so we had to sneak her in.... there was a seat for her, and she did buy a ticket, just not the same movie... i won't review the movie except to say it is the same premise as Love Actually, but different enough to not beg too much comparison.
about halfway through the movie we could here water running. lots of it. when we had arrived it was hot and muggy and we knew a storm was coming. it was loud, but not so completely annoying that you couldn't still enjoy the movie. you could tell it was in the roof. after about 5 or 10 mins, the sound changed. all of a sudden the running water was inside... in three points the roof started leaking. it was running at about the pace you would turn on a tap to wash ur hands - really pouring in through the roof. we had a laugh, someone went to tell the people, but there was nothing they could do. when the movie finished we went to play in the huge puddles that had formed in the carpet.. we splashed and played like kids, and took photo's. Candy had her brollie so there are pics of us standing under the shower... it was so much fun, esp after a generally entertaining movie. if you go see it stay for the beginning of the credits - there are out takes - funny stuff.

saturday - slept a little late.. had rehearsal from 10-4, but it was so hot we ended up finishing early. lunch time conversation - a lot of laughs. and as so often happens we flick through a huge variety of topics, but come back and forth to sex about 15 times in an hour... then back home after that, with some of the girls, we had over an hour to get ready to go out for the night. they all had to straighten their hair... so girly for a bunch of lesbians...
dinner of pizza and wine, then on to karaoke. i haven't been a non designated driver for years... and the birthday girl wanted lots of songs sung for her b'day, so starting at dinner and going right through karaoke and on to Max Brenner for coffee after we sang the whole night. we had randoms stopping on the side of kings st in newtown to listen to us sing! none of it was classy, but it was all fun. it was a great saturday.

in a few hours i have to get ready to go out to a movie launch... About a yr ago the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Choir performed henry purcells "fairy queen". We were the first G&L choir to ever put on a full opera. it was documented and tonight that documentary is being launched. really looking forward to it - another night out with my choir friends, who i love so dearly.

that is all.
