X Marks the Party Spot
Arriving at 5.35 pm miraculously makes me first in line to this epic event which was set to open to the public at 6 pm. Upon entering one of the biggest free parties I think Justin Hemmes has created I kept wondering is there no end to his generosity of free drinks and canapés to hundreds of people he's never met. Once the main bar filled reached it's capacity it was on for young and old in trying to grab some food from the trays which the friendly service were challenged in sharing around. Drinks were flowing freely including cocktails called Berry Blush and French Pash all made to match the red theme, balloons and lighting. Red glasses and party hats were given out upon entry for those wanting more red apparel. I managed to track down most of the canapés on offer which included some very tasty quiche style tarts and an interesting prawn and fennel dumpling. There's 2 days left of what's been a 10 day celebration of specials. Day 9 brings $10 Moet flutes at est. sushi e and Hemmesphere and the final Day 10 is the Big Birthday Finale at Tank for only $10 entry — I'm sure there'll be some serious partying to be had.
