Amidst the craziness of work and organizing shirt sales, I was invited to Blizzard Entertainment's Year-End party at Club Heaven last week. Honored by the invite, I made sure that I could make it. They had rented out the entirety of Club Heaven and decorated it with statues and banners (I wish I took more pictures of that!) and they even had an employee only SC2 tournament which was awesome to watch (with casters and everything!)

The event started at 6 and I arrived at 8ish. All you can eat and drink until pass out and I took full advantage.

I don't recall getting home - woke up with an receipt for a keycode reset (locked myself out of the house) a sprained ankle, bruises on my legs and a god awful hangover. Needless to say I didn't quite make it to work the next day. According to the texts in my phone, I got home around 2:30am with missed calls from various people around 3. And apparently I came home with a few new numbers too.

Here are some pictures of the night - I'm not sure who took them or how my camera ended up back in my bag; not sure who put me in a cab to go home either.

Just want to say a big THANK YOU to Simon for inviting me and to Blizzard for being so awesome. It was pretty awesome seeing Michael Morhaime there too - though again, no pictures.

we were on the balcony level while there were special events happening on the ground level.

the first of many...

All in all it was a great party, had a great time with great people!! it's been a while since I went out and partied like that, even better since I was with fellow nerds. Cheers!

I like how rekrul is in one of the first pictures, only to disappear, before finally reappearing.

Looks like a great party.

Well, I am glad you guys had a lot of fun. Out of curiosity, who were the casters? Also, is Morhaime all grey and bearded?

No recollection of getting home?
Bruises on your legs?
Strange numbers on your telephone?

Why does this sound dangerous?!

Hey NICE CHEST HAIR DAN! hehehe

LilSusie you either wear a lot of make-up or have really great skin, even in the pics where you were already drinking for a while.

Nice to see the TL invasion crew having fun
