Raving Madness of Others
Closest thing I have to a picture. That is a glow stick on my wrist, and the ocean
Sometimes I wish you’d get a memo on Monday detailing what you did over the weekend. I keep finding all these surprises, like sand in odd places and these freaking paparazzi shots I knew nothing about. Apparently one of these photographers was there and bought me a beer, which I completely do not remember. I was, however, acting like a Personal Digital Assistant when I wasn’t in the bushes and I don’t really want to talk about it. On the other hand, there was at least one proper beating, an alleged urination and sand literally everywhere, so I don’t feel that bad. They should really do this rave thing again, though I think I’ll bring a chaperone next time.
Playing With Fire
St. Elmo is doing some fire dancing with this giant flaming pole, in rip-roaring shape as far as I know. The point of a giant flaming phallus is to attract girls of course, and he’s got one who’s trying to learn how to twirl the thing. Then this Johnny comes up and grabs the pole, which is very rude. Elmo, shoves him as a hint, and gets one-two square in the jaw for his troubles. Now Elmo is on the ground and getting it before he lands a solid right with his bejeweled hand. Then, like a true street fighter, he picks up the pole and starts whaling on the Johnny. I repeat, he is beating on the boy with a four foot metal pole. Elmo is actually a sweet and gentle soul, and now he feels bad. He stops the pummeling, picks up Johnny’s necklace and hands it to the boy, saying ‘You dropped this’.
Sandy
Everyone got sand all over themselves the most quotable quote being – “I’ve got sand in my punani.” This is from the Walla, though I risk a premature death by revealing their secrets. Electra has some details on the sandiness, though that is not her quote at all.
Alleged Urination
One respected author and socialite left the party, curled up on the grass and returned with his pants wet. He claims that it was a respectable nap and he was not dreaming about waterfalls or anything.
And that’s all I heard yesterday. I’m sure there are more stories, so tell me if you can remember any. Oh yeah, and the meetup is at 6 today, and it’s Tuesday so I’m not going to embarass myself.
I want to visit my friend in China before he comes back. Free place to crash and all. So, I applied for a visa to China, from Colombo. I’m not sure I’ll get it, but this is process to at least apply. For official but incomplete info, check out the 
The Mahavamsa (a history of Sri Lanka) is full of conflicts between generals and kings. Usually, the more bloodthirsty and unscrupulous would win. Our current (elected) ruler Mahinda Rajapaksa has had his own general conflicts, namely with one Sarath Fonseka. In the old days Fonseka would have staged a coup, as in literally try to cut of Mahinda’s head, and Mahinda would – if that failed – tie him to four elephants and split his parts asunder. Can’t do that shit anymore. Instead Fonseka ran for office and lost and Mahinda tossed him in jail.

there definitely was sand. everywhere.
ps – that is a stunning shot of you and the girl that sebastian has.
Maybe not EVERYwhere Electra…
[...] Offshore is throwing a masked ball at H20 this Friday and Saturday. These are the same guys that did the excellent Buba Beach Party a couple months ago. That was the best party I’ve been to here (besides the Glen Terry concerts). Ryan Holsinger ran a proper detailed review for the Leisure Times. Maskerade promises to be more over the top. I think Offshore basically built a castle in H20, complete with acrobats and stuff. I’m not normally much for big parties, but I like the music and atmosphere at Offshore parties and DJs Ben and Tim have a rare unique taste. The main bonus for me is that I can go one night without hearing ‘Summer of 69′. [...]
[...] It may not be an NGO orgy party, but the Offshore parties are thadda fun. The last beach party effectively put Buba on the map and had people playing derivative electronic music for month. The DJs (Ben and Tim) are innovative and atmosphere was great – on the beach, with the dancefloor and firedancers around. Their next party is on Bolgoda Lake on the Club Penthouse Island. This is a bit out but I, for one, much prefer the outdoor scene. It means you can have a variety of experiences without the forced proximity of a club. There is plenty of venue for dancing and imbibing and outbibing and whatnot. I like the beach parties cause they’re very natural and free, and not so much fronting as in the club. It’s this Saturday (the 14th) from Sunset to Sundown. Tickets are available there or from the DJ at Rhythm and Blues. Is recommended. [...]
