New Brighton Spring Bash

So yesterday we had bought tickets to go to this "spring bash" in New Brighton with a bunch of the coaches we work with.  Our tickets read that the start time was 2.  Knowing this, we figured showing up at 4 would be perfect.  We'd eat, socialize, and see where the night took us.  Wrong.  Almost no one was there when we showed up except for a group of Englishmen who work for Umzingisi and, like us, do not know the proper time to show up at a function.  They turned out to be pretty cool though and we hung out and exchanged numbers. 

Waiting around for 3 hours though was a great idea.  Eventually people who we knew started to file in and we ate (a lot of awesome meat), smoke shisha, danced, and socialized.  It was pretty awesome by the end of it.  It was great to see people outside of work.  The women we work with are amazing people.
