In this photo is myself and the birthday man himself, Alex Derry. T’was his Dirty Thirty. A Roast was organized in his honour. Have any of you ever been to a Roast? This was my first time and it was absolutely epic.

I had hoped for “mean but with love” and people went for “BRUTAL …  …. but with love”. I cackled from start to finish. Not sure if I’ll be able to speak tomorrow. Jessie Fraser absolutely SLAYED. Hilarious and – though clearly, thoroughly rehearsed, it somehow still felt spontaneous – she ripped Mr Derry to shreds.

Alex and I toasted to his evening by sharing a bit of beer. A classic that I’m sure most of you are familiar with. I can’t really get into fancy beer notes and such, mostly because this beer was drunk at 2:30am. And so, frankly, all I know is that it was refreshing. Cheers~
