Victoria « Read Less
I was in beautiful Victoria BC for 4 days in May, attending a conference. I didn't take any pictures of the conference ...
The night was young.
Getting back to my tale of fun in Victoria: following the party in the
library, where we tried to make the most of the open bar, we got
invited up to a room on the "Gold Level" (WHERE do these people get
their money???) to hang out. At least I thought we were invited. When
we got to the room, we learned that the invite was really wishful
thinking on the part of Tino; some drunken 18-year-old had ivited him
up to her room, but there was (thank goodness) a grownup in the room
who turned us away, saying they were doing "an intervention" and
little miss was not allowed to drink any more.
At which point Kirsten and I ditched Tino, on the grounds that we had
to be at a business meeting first thing in the morning and we had to
be responsible to our members who footed the bill to send us to this
conference etc etc etc. Then we hit the pub.
Yeah, SERIOUSLY overdid the partying that weekend.
