You’re not really having fun unless someone else knows how much fun you’re having.

This is a photo Piers took of me while my face was melting in the crippling heat and humidity of Sydney on New Year’s Day.

Important aspects to note with this photo, include:

Yes, my hairline is receding at an alarming rate.
Yes, my brow is really sweaty;
Yes, that is Chromeo performing behind me;
Yes, I do like Chromeo;
No, I was not snubbing them;
No, they weren’t rubbish on the day;
Yes, I was horrifically hungover from the night before;
Yes, I was tired from the unusually early morning flight we caught from Melbourne just earlier;
Yes, I did turn my back on them because I had to even out my driver’s tan;
Yes, my beard really did need a trim;
Yes, we were in the VIP stands;
Yes, we did mingle among the great unwashed that day / night;
Yes, I am tweeting people about the amazing time I was having.

What of it?
