Speed Dating Adventure Down Under

Jane talked me into a speed dating adventure - her friend works at the company and got us into this event for free...why not?? We were pretty nervous for obvious reasons...and unfortunately the thing we were dreading came true...the guys were made up of geeks, guys that dont know they're gay yet, old/bald crack heads, short men, retail sales clerks...oh what a good time though. The event coordinator felt bad for us so the champagne kept coming :) it was pretty fun. This one old/bald crack head just kept repeating I am a Blank Page...no matter what I asked him.

Before the event the work crew had a few drinks at Lord Robberts...we had a great time prepping for this thing :) you can really have fun with this type of thing, making up different personas, talk non stop not letting him get a word in, then dont say one thing for the next date, endless fun could be had...it was a little harder to do this with a straight face in the one on ones...the dates lasted 8 minutes which seemed like a long time but wasnt so bad.

I am following up this week with one of the guys...race horse breeder with good style, nice and down to earth....why not get a drink :)

Pics below are the debrief Jane and I had - hit a few fun bars...drinks in coconuts and burnt with a blow torch...
