After all the organising and planning I had done as well as the constant worrying if I had chosen a venue most of you would like.   It was time for the spectacle that was Sydney's BIGPOND chat party! Sydney playing host to chatters from Melb, Adelaide, Brisbane and as far away as Perth and New Zealand and a surpries return from the USA. Armed with labels, texta and an appetite to party, I arrived at Arizonas to see the venue filled with around 300 people attending the Desperate & Dateless Ball.  I panicked and wondered how all of us (chatters) were going to fit in there, but Jason of the Arizona reassured me they would all be gone by 8pm when our party was to begin.  And sure enough they were,,, PHEW !!!!

I saw some familiar faces in the Restaurant and began the task of branding them with a name tag.  The next two hours i spent introducing people and handing out more labels.  We ended up using over 200 tags and when they ran out just wrote on each other with black texta. The night was full of friends from the net meeting each other for the first time as well as seeing some old and familiar faces, that are always regulars to the parties we organise.  We estimate the number of people that attended to be around 135 give or take a few LOL. One of my main reasons for choosing the Arizona to be our venue for the years first chat party was the dance floor. As every party before had never had a dance floor and everyone seemed to seperate around midnight or soon after.  I didnt want that to happen this time, I hoped we could all be together until the late hours of the morning.

The ArizonaDJ (Steve) promised me the music would be popular and we could all make any requests we wanted.  Popular was an understatement!!!  The music started and we hit the floor, shaking our tusshies all over the place and generally having a ball to what I was told was contemporary music LOL. Is that what they call it these days? As the night went on, the party got more interesting (if thats possible) I dont think I have laughed so much and come to think of it, drank that much either in ages.  And I certainly wasnt the only one. Jdcoke and Hippiechick were armed with cameras to get some great shots ( well i call them black mail shots)of us all having loads of fun.

  Everyone mingled and got on great.  The thing I always find at each party is the warmth and friendship you feel with people you haven't met before.  The atmosphere is fantastic!!!  It's like youv'e known some of these people for years.  For those of you that couldn't attend, the next party im already planning will be in late May early June.  So try your hardest to make it, you wont regret it and you'll make some great new friends. Thanks again to everyone that was able to join in the fun there and help to make it the night it was to remember, it was great meeting more of you and I cant wait to party hard again in a few months time.
