I was in front of my laptop at about 8.45pm on New Year’s Eve when I heard my name being yelled from outside my window.

Quick and easy pictorial post of what I’ve been up to since it’s less than 24 hours 6 hours till New Year’s. Saturday, 12th December 2009 I was holed up in the State Library using RMIT’s free WiFi when Ivan rang me up, asking if I’d like to go to join them with a friend [...]
