The May weekend

It started on the 2nd of May, the morning broke my slumber with a call from Kelvin.
"Would you like to go see Wolverine on Imax?" he inquired.
"Certainly," I replied, a little glee in my voice. A first time in Imax to possibly see the dairy aire of Hugh Jackman 12 feet wide? Why not. I'll pay attention to the rest of the movie anyway.
After the call ended, I rose to action to entertain my time until I rendevous'd at Kelvins home before venturing forth to Caxton Street.

The time was well entertained with the packing of my stuff for the weekend, along with a game of Warmachine over the internet with a man who's alias was "Jaggedtoothgrin". A smart man, who has been salivating from the idea of playing against me.
The game concluded in its usual manner, with a pendulum loss. By pendulum loss, i mean that when his chance to win blew up in his face, it came to my turn to retaliate and possibly recieve the victory against him. However this botched up as well, leaving me open and vulnerable. Naturally, he took advantage of this and won.
The game ended and my stuff was packed. Time to make the journey to Kelvins.

Upon arriving at Kelvins home, he and Tash were looking after Baby Alex. Five months old and teething. Fortunately, he was doing rather well this afternoon. After preparing Tash with the baby bouncer and packing into the car, we drove to Kitty O'shae's in Caxton Street to meet and greet. This event was for Jason, a friend of Kelvins that I have met once in person when I travelled down to Canberra for Cancon, a gaming convention. Jason is travelling to Ottawa, Canada, for work over three years with his family. Because he has a lot of friends here in Brisbane, he made a special weekend to travel up and see them before he disappeared halfway across the world.

The night at Kitty's was entertaining. Many laughs and introductions. I sat down with Neil/Humphrey, the funny man with a moustache and bottlecap glasses. He did the Introduction and History of each person with me related to Jason and some others.
A few people knew of me through facebook, as my alias "Enjoy Medway". There were a few questions as to why I chose Enjoy, and rather than telling the tale of "Well, I was walking home from work and saw that someone wrote "ENJOY" on the bitcherman, as proven by my profile picture, and thought 'Hey, that reminds me of an Incubus album'," which was aptly named 'Enjoy Incubus', I replied with the age old answer of "Why not?"
Many of the people there had old history with Jason. The funniest was Michelle, an ex girlfriend of Jasons from many years back. One of her hilarious moments was recognising Kelvin. She heard that he was here, but didn't know which person he was. Her last memory of him, from approx 15 years back, was a rather skinnier fellow approximately my size. Now that kelvin has become relatively larger, she didn't recognise him and was very surprised at the sight of him when Dr Nick and I pointed him out.
Otherwise, hijinks were everywhere, many of which were generated by Greg and Melinda.
The first hijink was with Melinda requesting a chip from Kelvin. Kelvin, being on the other end of the tables, thought the only way to follow her requests was to throw it to her. Although his aim was poor, he still succeeded in getting it down her top.

The night at Kitty's ended at 7 to go and see a live performance of "He Died with a Falafel in his hand".
This performance is one of the funniest things I have seen. While low brow, it doesn't go into the mentality of people. It's a story about one mans travels in a variety of Share houses. On the odd occasion, there would be mention of "Castle Blokenstein" and "Hammersmith", two places of note for the company I was attending as these people knew the writer, John Birmingham, and lived in these houses at the same time, and they would holler at each mention.

My favourite character was Neil, the Albino Moontanner. He would run around the stage in nothing but a pair of underwear and a large kids blanket.
One scene of his was with his roommate, a dominatrix who ran a dungeon out of his room, standing on the roof (Which consisted the blue stagelight and the two of them on the couch) watching a girl from across the road, whom he is obsessed with. The dominatrix stands on the couch with a pair of binoculars, while neil sits down with the blanket over his legs and his hand underneath.
The scene is the dominatrix telling neil what the girl next door is doing, telling him about how she's back home with a man. The two stop at the park and they start having sex on the anzac day monument. Through this, Neil is panicking, asking what they're doing and what colour the guy's skin is, who turns out to be a Samoan. While Neil is yelling out curses, such as Harlot and Slut, the dominatrix is touching herself and enjoying the show. Until it ends short.
"Is that it?" neil said.
"that's it," extreme disappointment in her voice.
"Can I lick your fingers?" were Neil's last words before the scene went to black.
While so very wrong, it was very funny.

Another character came in, and he was the stereotypical sleazebag with the greased hair and the girlfriend who doesn't know that he's sleeping around. When he did a monologue about himself, he told of this one girl that he had wined and dined. His description of her was "She was the kind of babe that you would swim ten miles down a river of shit just to suck on the cock of the last guy who laid her".
It was the quote of the night.

After buying a Moontanner shirt for myself, Kelvin and I returned to his place to sleep off the night.
The morning came and Tash cooked up some hashbrowns, bacon and delicious toast while we waited for Scotty to arrive. After watching "Harvey Krumpet", a very intriguing movie that did cause a few laughs, we began our journey to Camira to Humphreys place for a day of gaming.
My job while on the trail to Humphreys was to hold the Birthday Cake of Gregs, who turned 43 on Sunday. A cake made of Sponge Fingers, cream, chocolate, and Butterscotch Schnaps. It was a sight to fear and behold.

The Day was filled with Warmachine and board games along with alcohol galore. Humphrey had a fridge filled to the brim with Alcohol. Unfortunately, I don't enjoy beer. So I brought my bottle of Jack Daniels and had a bottle of lemonade to accompany it. Greg brought along a very interesting bottle of Licorice Vodka, called Koskenkorva. While I don't like Licorice, I tried it to find it was surprisingly delicious.

The gaming ended at Humphreys and we all made our way to Southbank Imax, where we were prepared to see the twelve foot ass of Hugh Jackman, the film also known as "Xmen Origins: Wolverine". The film was entertaining, but nothing to write home about, even with the massive headache that accompanied me. Plenty of action and a little bit of intrigue, but otherwise a somewhat disappointing movie. Not because we didn't see a 12 foot ass, but just the general quality of it all. As usual, everyone stayed until the end of the credits to see the 'spoiler' at the end. I ran off to the toilets to have a massive Zen pee, and I knew that someone would tell me what would happen.
Kelvin was disappointed and I was told that he yelled out "I could've been in the toilet!" when it was played.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Kelvin drove Scott and I back to our respective homes and I slept the night away.
