MXDU 2005 - Day Zero Minus One

So, about 12 on Monday evening, Peter Hall arrives at the apartment, Grant and Aral were in bed already so i popped upstairs to his room to have a beer and catch up. Ended up going to bed about 1.30 am and was hoping to have a good 11 hours sleep, wishful thinking. Peter decided to wake me up at 8am. Thanks man ;) Aral made a feeble attempt at stopping him, luckily for Grant, we stopped Peter from waking him.

We wandered through the malls looking for some more summer clothes. Peter Hall is hopeless at buying clothes so we spent an hour or so buying nothing other than some trainer socks. Matt Voerman arrived in the afternoon, had a beer on the balcony, i sat on the table and it collapsed, rather amusing.

We spent the remainder of the day wandering around town, had a Nando’s in a massive open food court, that had every type of food known to man. I ate chicken (i had a chicken craving), everybody else chowed on Chinese and Japanese food.

In the afternoon we went over to Mike Chambers hotel, hung out, fixed some bugs and tweaked the conference Graffiti application. Mike Downey joined us around 8pm and then we headed down to circular quays for a nice meal by the sea, good ol’ fish & chips for me, chatting flash, 6 star hotels etc…
