A Whole New Year at Princes Street

Plenty happened this year, I was just really slack with the photos and now a lot of people have moved out, taking theirs with them. We'll see what we can do...

Club Cool

Inside Club Cool

Let us just ignore for a moment the blatant fire hazard presented by drunken hostellers setting up a flammable nest of sheets and furniture in the bottom of a central fire stairwell, lit by a raw incandescent bulb (on an extension cord creating a trip hazard in the fire route), shaded by a piece of A4 paper with a smiley-face on it. Assuming we can do that, we now see that Club Cool was one of the funniest things ever to come out of that classic duo: Jesse and Louise. At one point, they tried to explain what had possessed them to do this, but they were so pissed by then that Jesse suddenly wandered off mid-sentence and Louise fell asleep into Lyndon's shoulder, still talking.

The gang at Dom & Jen's

Jesus plucks those sweet strings...

  This year has seen a lot of people move out to flats. A lot more than in previous years. Just one of those things, I guess. But we still know how to get together and party, and what better place than a six-bedroom flat and a housewarming for eight of our mates? You know it's a good party when the cops are called before even half the eventual guests arrive!
 
  This was also one of the final appearances for one of this summer's bumper crop of musicians: Jesus (a.k.a. Pascal). Lovin' your work, man. Hope you come back again, some time!
 
Dave, pictured below, spent 2 weeks living under the stairs at the flat. He was naturally re-christened Harry Potter.

The Holiday Season

Hey, why don't we just burn a boat for New Year's?

A shot where you can better see the boat's shape

More Swedes for the holidays! How good is my life?
6 girls and a one guy came for the season. In the picture, from left to right, kind of, are:
Ryan and Emma, Max (the lone Swedish guy), Sophie and Vaughan, Hulda, Me and Anna, Mike and Karin, and Lina.
