Wow is the only word I can say.
Actually from about 2am to 11am all I could say was "Bleeeeeeughhhh" really loudly as I discovered that 48012 Vodka Jellies & 318 Jack Dees (and possible sushi) don't mix. Other people to know know this are my neighbours (when I converse with the porcelain god, I converse loud enough to measure on the Richter scale) and several cars outside Crazy Larry's.
However before the convulsions and weird dreams started, I had a fuck-en-fan-tas-tic night. I was blown away with all the bloggers who came. When I put the invite on my site I didn't think many (if any) people would come. It was a pleasure being wrong.
I was touched to see so many people there. I was blown away that everyone brought a present or a card which was completely unexpected and unnecessary but thrilling.
I have to say a big sevitzdotthankyou to, Karen & Pete, Mark & Stephanie (who's name i can't remember after all the vodka jellies but I have know doubt someone will tell me shortly), Stuart, Julius, Dave, Ann and Jack. It was great having you guys, and I hope you had as much fun as I did.
The only problems with being host of the party is that you never get to spend enough time with everyone, as you are too busy flitting back and fourth trying to spend time with everyone. But it was great to have so many mates and bloggers around. The other problem with being the host is everyone keeps buying you drinks and vodka jellies so that when you look through the photographs you don't remember half of them including the ones your in.
I'll try get the pictures up this week. I think I may have a bloggers braai come the summer (one where the bloggers get to braai, not one where they are on the braai).
Thanks again to all for coming. Can we have a vodka jelly amnesty until my 40th birthday please?

Mark’s girlfriend is called Stephanie.
The Vodka Jellies were quite fun, even including the half a one which wound up down my leg (thank god leather is wipe-clean)…
… although I think that my slightly rose coloured view of the jellies is partly because I didn’t have so many of them as everyone else seemed to have.
All in all, a great night out, and a fantastic late night tour through London on the bus home.
2. Mark
Miraculously, I had no hangover on Sunday morning, 7.00am, despite the consumption of many, many lime vodka jellies. Perhaps copious amounts of ‘Horny’ ale manages to nullify their effect?
Further research is definitely on the cards.
Remember, Adrian, beware of the toast.

Apologies for missing the bunfight, adrian, we meant to come. Then we didn’t. Sorry. There was this big wedding thing, you see, and I was a little bushed. And a serious shortage of cash, and, y’know…
Many apologies. Sounds like fun. boo.
4. D
I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire. I didn’t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts!
5. Stuart
Sheesh. And here’s me only remembering the locusts.
6. anna
shut up d.
Also, I would like to mention that the dog ate my invitation.
And my legs.
7. D
Adrian, do you recall confronting me and swearing at me repeatedly that you hated me because you’re constantly hounded by stickmen or something?
Also, what’s that Yorkshire girl’s phonenumber?
8. Adrian
I remember telling you that I hate your artistic talent because I had none and couldn’t even draw a stick man. Or something like that.
By, that Yorkshire, girl, I presume you mean Jose’s friend Kate?
Anna, no stress, but you have to come to the next one now.
9. steph
I loved the vodka jellies. And at a party better than any at which I’ve had them before (at college, in frat houses with biohazard-levels of dirt and skankiness everywhere. And the houses weren’t too clean either)…
I need to learn how to make them. I’m getting bored with the usual double-vodka-tonic at breakfast.
10. D
Thats the one. Kate. Nice girl, thought she was from New Zealand, the music was that loud in the place.
11. Adrian
I do accept bribes for email addresses …
12. Jose
oooh oooh , go kate! who wants email addresses, I have actual phone numbers, and I dont even charge.
I wouldnt call her That Yorkshire Girl to her face though, she might get offended she couldnt remember her name. Although if you thought she was a kiwi, you might have her mixed up with Adrians friend Dan….
13. Stuart
Haha, cool. Go Jose!
14. Mark
Jose, for actual phone numbers, you should consider actual charges. Only give away imaginary phone numbers for imaginary money.
15. D
No, no, she was definitely female. Those were real breasts under the Sevitz stickers.
16. Stuart
..and I have the pictures to prove it.
17. Destructor
I am damned hot, it’s easy to mistake me for a hot Yorkshire lass. Although, and did I forget to mention?!? Katie is SEXY!!!
d
18. Jose
I told Kate last night that she was the subject of much umm, attention, and she promised she’d have a look today. Unfortunately since then it seems to be all about her breasts, although I’m sure she’ll still be really flattered. so Kate if you’re reading this, I reckon you should email D. Any contributions should also be of real money. (Good point Mark, wouldnt want to get suckered by that old “imaginary money” scam again!)
19. Lori
How I WISH I could have been there :(
20. Adrian
Next one Lori me lass …
21. Stuart
It’s not compulsory to reply to comments made by our Northern cousins in a patronisingly colloquial accent, Adrian, dear boy.
Oh, and Jose - Adrian wants to know about the photo of yourself, Kate and I, because he has no memory of it. It was all you, right?
22. Jose
I remember that photo, I think Kate and I showing you some lovin’, and the three of us look fab! As Adrian actually took it, I’m pretty sure the only thing he can’t remember is how many pints of JD he consumed.
23. Adrian
I have absolutely no recollection of taking said photograph. I think it’s all lies.
[The photo will be this one when I finally get the pictures up, next few days latest]
24. Jose
Really? I’m pretty sure it was you. I could possibly be convinced otherwise if you appeared in the background of the photo though. I can’t tell unfortuntely cause I can’t see it from your link (theres a chance I’m being a technicological idiot)
25. Mark
Typical. Stuart gets shown some lovin’, whereas all I got to do was groom Kate for a few minutes in a gibbon-style.
Erm, actually, did I really just write that?
26. Adrian
Thats cause the pictures aren’t up yet. Gimmie a few days
27. Suzy
Wish I could have gone. Sounds like it was fabulous, despite the aftereffects!
28. Stuart
Suzy, that’s true, but it was a close run thing.
:-)
29. Stuart
Oh Gods.
The pictures are up.
Well, to be fair, it could have been worse.
30. D
Glad I’m only in one.
31. Mark
Yes, Stuart does seem to have hogged the camera a bit, doesn’t he?
32. Adrian
Damn, you all jumped the gun. I was about to tell you that the pictures are up as posted here.
But I was too busy updating the site log templates. I knew I should have waited.
Have you lot been sitting around waiting huh?
33. pix
jesus sevitz… i know they say the camera adds ten pounds, but exactly how many cameras were you pointing at me??? and why didn’t it work on anyone else?
Gah.
Other than that, ace photos… :)
34. Green Fairy
That first picture of me with Stuart is singularily and most impressively the worse one of me in existance anywhere ever. Well done.
PS - No, the stickers made it to the ladies’ toilets too…
35. Adrian
GreenF, I try.
Right, where exactly in the womens loo did they make it?
36. Green Fairy
Back of the door of both cubicles and top of the mirror…
37. Adrian
Right who was it own up ?????
Tell me no one wrote above it “For a good tiem call …” or is that just things blokes do?
38. Green Fairy
Er…. raises hand guiltily
39. Adrian
You little minx you. This is why all those strange girls have been visiting my site haven’t they.
Oh actually they haven’t.
Well done, but next time take my camera and take some pictures … last time I walked into the girls loo … oh nevermind.
40. Destructor
Could people please never take photos of me dancing ever ever again? It may look utterly ridiculous when seen as freeze-frames, but what these photos don’t really reveal is the raw RYTHYM of the dan-dance.
