Took place on Wednesday noon till midnight at Sid’s, my birthday. Quite a day it turned out to be. The plan was for me to chill , kick-back, & try to last from 12pm to 12am. I only left at 1.30am. Over-achieved. Haha
Starter
I was expecting a grand total of 6 or 7 people, since common folk have to work. Got two liters of liquor ready – Cuban rum & Smirnoff.
Get there around noon, after a dim sum breakfast, for a lunchtime session. Before i can get a drink, the first guest Farah appears. With a cake. She did not know about the no-cake ruling. But since the cake is a fucking awesome chocolate mud cake, she’s forgiven & welcomed.
The first bottle is a Havana Club. Very smooth rum. It goes down easy and slowly, as a few more guests appear during their lunch break. (Some never leave.)
Throughout the afternoon, it rains, and we drink, & listen to sum cool tunes. Niice.
Pissing down
BYO entertainment
The third wave in session at 7+
And in the evening, more show up after work.
There were four waves of people – noon, afternoon, evening, night. More bottles are donated by my sis (Jim Beam) and friends like my buddy Khabir (Gordon’s, Captain Morgan) and Farah (Bacardi). By midnight, my target, things get pretty crazy.
Just when i think we had enough to drink (6 bottles of liquor & a few bottles of wines), Geoff the owner of Sid’s hands me this lil monkey…
