Alrighty, time for a real review...
I had an uber amazing time this weekend. I've never been up to Collingwood so I didn't know what to expect, but it's almost better that way, I think. Pleasant surprises await those who seek nothing!! :P
Anyway, Aaron and I drove up to Ajax for his gig at The Spot on Friday night, took us FOUR AND A HALF HOURS to get through the weather traffic. We tried to go around the 401 on Hwy 7, but it ended up being so much worse... We finally got there, listened to some tunes from Robben and Endgame and a battle with the three DJ's (good job, boys) and then took off around 1230. Got to Collingwood around 2 ish, everyone was hilariously drunk. I think the funniest thing was when I was meeting new people for the first time, I'd be like, "Yeah, I'm awishabear on TA" and they're all "OOOOOHHHHHH!!! You're that singles thread girl!" LOL Someone remind me in the future that those kinda threads are NOT good ideas...
Anyway, I didn't end up staying up late on Friday cuz it was just so tiring being in the car for so long... crashed around 330 I guess, woke up at 630 when Jamie came to bed and proceeded to take over the matress :P (PS buddy, you do snore...) Was one of the first people up on Saturday after the guys went to breakfast, sat around, enjoyed the morning peacefulness cuz I knew it would be the only quiet all weekend. Around 10 Nada got up and we cleaned up a little, the guys got back and Aaron started a set to wake everyone up (really good one too!) After that it was just a matter of finding a drink and keeping your feet moving. PROPS TO KKEFKA for kicking ass on the 'dancefloor' ALL FREAKING DAY!! I wish I had that kind of energy...
Fell asleep around 4 cuz I was toasted (partly the alcohol, partly getting up sorta early), got woken up just in time for dinner but I missed the sushi S'all good though, I'm glad everyone else enjoyed it.
So many people started showing up in the late afternoon/early evening, it was so great. I LOVE hanging out with all the TA's, everyone's so AWESOMELY cool haha! Everyone was looking out for everyone else while still having a great time. True TA spirit right there. I got kinda bummed out later at night, I think I was just overrun with stuff going on.
Really great to meet so many new faces, TA's or not. I gave out my MSN to a lot of people, not everyone, but I want to keep in touch with as many people as I can, so just add me if you want!! You'll find my addy earlier in this thread.
Must say a great big thank you to Fahad for that awesome massage... I swear I'm never getting another one unless it's done by you LOL!
NADA, DAN AND ALI ROCK!
You guys are the best people for organizing, running, sharing this amazing experience with everyone. Few people have the patience to deal with so many drunken hooligans lol!! but you guys did an awesome job. We all love you for it!!
So when's the next one?
