Fear of Fish
Don't be afraid, I work at Engine Yard, not a sushi bar.
Trolleywood!
August 13th, 2007
A couple of my friends (Ruth and Mal) organised a charity ball at their house to raise moneyz for Diabetes UK over the weekend, and we raised £325 and had a damn good laugh. I've put a selection of the photos on my flickr account and the full list at http://trolleywood.fearoffish.com/, if you have any more let me know and I'll grab them off you and get them added.
There were oscars handed out for different awards (e.g. The Lifetime Achievement Award went to Doug for breaking up with Shauna), then there was an auction, of particular interest was a photo of Derek and Andy kissing...Ouch! Derek bid and won on that one, after a little price hiking by the auctioneer (me!).
Anyway, I'd like to say thanks to all those that came for making the event a success, and also to all those who cheered me up considerably!
Note: Due to unfortunate circumstances I didn't have my full suit on when I bobbed round, so I look out of place. :-( The ladies at the evening did a damn good job of making me feel at home though!
