Hello Alan,
Well just over a month until your wedding now fella - are the nerves kicking in? I received my invitation in the post from Mr and Mrs Shannon and suddenyl it all feels very real.
I sent a few messages out letting people know about this blog last week and the first person to deliver the goods was a certain Miss Victoria Rohan with a message from her and Bin. And here it is!
So...we met Mr Lishman when Bina was living with us in Leichhardt, 4 uni girls sharing a townhouse...and Alan! I have a notion he was a tad overwhelmed by the sudden onslaught of estrogen as it took us a fair while to muster more than a 'hello' out of him! But, we persisted - I used my own special brand of 'being in your face until you break down and become my friend'...and he did. Cracked that code! One for the girls.
Story... the night Alan insisted that we watch 'True Romance' because it was 'the best movie of all time'. Under much duress we finally agreed because it was the best looking movie in a pile of cinematic one hit wonders - it had Brad Pitt in it! Against our will, we all found ourselves cracking up and admitting that yes, Alan was King, this movie rocked. "Hey, get some beer...and cleaning products". One for Alan.
Hmm...the night of your 30th birthday... we got cabs into the Cross. The driver was looking like he was going to do a dodgy and take us the long 'short' cut... until Alan started talking to him in Turkish...as you do!! Another one for Alan.
Bin and Alan recently took me to see Chicago for my birthday. It was the best present ever and better yet, we had front row seats. Not always the best thing for a musical, but the ultimate seat for this one in particular as we had an up-close and personal view of the costumes and body movements. The way they're muscles moved was mightily impressive. Turns out that one member of the cast was impressed with our seats aswell....and Alan in particular. Just as she was sliding herself up and down the wall at the side of the stage, raunchily-clad in her black lacey corset, fishnet stockings and 4-inch stilhettos, she turned to Alan, stared him down...and seductively winked!! He nearly fell out of his seat. It was all we heard about for the rest of the show!! Yes, another one for Alan.
How could we forget the intensity of the 'cards nights' we had with you guys at the Karl&Jara/Bin&Alan abode in Pyrmont. Many fun nights of cards, friendly arguments and wine.
Should be an awesome weekend in March, can't wait to see you and catch up :) Hope all's peachy with you. xxx
