GT Social Club Relaunch!
Hi, Folks!
Group Technology relaunched their social club with a big party at the Three Sisters; no party is complete without me, so I went along with my friend Helen.
I promise you a more complete accounting later, but for now, read a bit about my friend Scott Proudfoot, who was at the party in all of his resplendent glory!
Right. I also brought a camera with me. A critical part of any work night out, a camera records indelibly the delicious foolishness of the people involved.
Here's Scott just after he's arrived.
Okay, maybe not just after. More like only a few drinks after he arrived.
But here's a much better shot, from later in the evening. One that captures the full essence of Scott's interaction with this girl perfectly - and also accidentally. I'm a crap photographer, and when a shot is as utterly flawless as this one, it's an accident.
Her disgusted look, the direction of her eyes, the way she's delicately holding the straw, all of her body language screams "How do I get away from this guy?"
By the same token, Scott's "Action Man" body language, the pointing finger, the exuberance, the "Action Man" stance, all screams "Ima get laid tonight!"
Picture removed due to a request from Scott Proudfoot!!
Oddly, Scott did not take this girl home.
To be fair, he was doing quite well up earlier. The dancing, the chat, the occasional touch - and it all fell to pieces. When I emailed this photo out to the team, my caption was "Why did Scott go home alone?" and the nearly unanimous answer was "Because he started acting like that."
Cheers!

Heh heh!
Taking the pictures was nowhere near as much fun as putting them on the web, believe me!

Boy, have you ever reinforced my conviction to not drink. I am quite capable of making a fool of myself sober.
