Everyone who didn't attend should be crying and punching themselves simultaneously right now.
Thanks to Viv for organising and Pipe for hauling people's asses around to various places without an hesitation.
Thanks to the guys from NZ for being generally really awesome people. You damn NZ'ers are always so friendly, sorry I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to you yesterday. Thanks to Lucas' friend Kathy for organising the snorkelling. Please tell her to get some of those snorkelling photos up in 'dis thread.
Also apologies to anyone else who I didn't manage to say farewell to in person, you are all awesome.

ALRIGHT SO I HAD AN AWESOME TIME AT AUSPAX! I don't have photos, but they were very fly-on-the-wall pictures and not hilarious as most PAX photos I tend to see. And Fishman's photos cover the week quite nicely anyway!
AWESOME THINGS:
- Meeting new people! Pipe and Mysst are some utterly hilarious dudes, everyone was super nice and fun. Everyone there acted and talked just like they post, which was great. Hearing the words "Feels good man" in real life was a wonderful thing.
- Black Dynamite! Nothing makes Black Dynamite more angry than pushing drugs onto kids in the orphanage!
- Laser tag at Dreamworld. I pulled a muscle in my leg or something and I still grunt like an old man when I get out of a chair.
- Listening to music in Pipe's car on the way back from Seaworld. That was great stuff and I really appreciated some new music!
- Watching Louie for the first time. Oh you're gonna sue me? I would like to sue everyone who works at the hospital you were born in. Letting you live was medical malpractice.
- Dinner with a famous webcomic artist (it is Fletcher, he is all the famousness)
- Reading a book/napping on a sunlounge in perfect weather for about 5 hours. Sooooo relaxing.
- Defeating the cylons, but more importantly, defeating the rulebook, in the Battle Star Galactica board game. It was about 1 hour of rules explanation followed by EVERYONE IS A CYLON. It was a great game! (Josh.)
- Playing Carcasonne! I didn't win but I also didn't get into venomous insults and scheming.
- Fishman and his entourage who did more than their fair share of the cooking/organising food for 20 ravenous nerds
- Watching Wimble enjoy a drink, and making Pipe suffer in Tekken.
There are probably other things but I have forgotten them! And I am super tired! A massive thankyou to Viv and everyone to helped organise AusPAX and keep things running through the week; it was without a doubt the best holiday I've ever had!

Oh yeah, snorkelling! And Green Hornet! It was a long, excellent week.
Someone should directly link each image from blunter's facebook because I don't use facebook but know you can view the images easily enough with links.

The best part about playing Risk with a couple (Viv and Blake) is that they were both doing so well before they started making comments to one another which resulted in WAR (and me picking up some of the leftovers).

Oh man, that Settlers game.
I ws going to the football with my crew yesterday. We're were walking down towards the stadium, and as well hustled out of the rain, I turned to Hayden and said
Wimble, I couldn't wake you up to say goodbye because your door was locked! Sorry dude!
that door doesn't lock! It is impossible for it to lock! Graaaah! Oh well I will just have to meet you again sometime to make up for it
I am in Sydney now at the hotel intercontinental. They charge for internet grr but other than that it is neat-o. I finally get to watch the Australian Open some!!

Let's grab a beer some time.
I'm pretty sure I cursed Stim and his family to burning in hell for eternity at least 3 times after that one game we had.
Little fucker.
I fought the Eastern and Western fronts against you and Gatsby and come out on top of both. Worth it so hard.
My camera is bad but I just like to think that it's old enough that it's image quality is just retro
Take off!
We arrive:
Penguins!
Just managed to get a snap of Viv and Blake on the coaster at Seaword:
To the lighthouse:
Purdy view:
Suddenly stairs, hundreds of them:

There was totally a guy down there:
The lighthouse itself:
Living on the eeeedge:
The eastern-most point of Australia:
Lets go exploring!
Another landscape:

I picked up a set for Carcassonne today and played it with friends. Yes, it still ruins friendships.
It is the best game.
i only played it twice but both times i did alright while (more importantly) making josh lose
Nice.
I think that was everyone's goal.
I got a few death threats off that fellow as a result of my delightful nighttime song sessions
that was the loudest shit i've ever heard
and i go to metal concerts
That took some effort.
Must be pregnant.

Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
In other news. We are finally home!

"Hey Hayden... FUCK YOOOUUU!"
I will hate you for that for ever. And then I will hate you more.
Satans..... hints.....
You think you've got problems
