The confetti has begun to settle on trefbash fifteen. The last trefbash. It took until seven am yesterday to clear it all away. One day later a good night’s sleep will have cleared the mists in fuddled post party brains and today the last revellers should finally straggle north. If home is not in a far northerly direction you may well have made it back yesterday but we like to take some time to recover and make an extended trip of it.
It is hard to consider that this marks the end of a personal era. I’m not a person who looks back. I like to think there is plenty more to come but it will not involve a trefbash. The bash has however been a wonderful journey. The most satisfying aspect of it is that everyone has such a great time and has looked forward to it every year. With excitement even.
It really has been the highlight of the calendar. A finishing off of the year in style. I like the hedonistic approach to the bash. Last night we consumed seventy bottles of Pol Roger champagne. Everyone deserves the good things in life and we are lucky enough to be able to have them at trefbash. Why not? Why not be special? I haven’t yet got the numbers for pina coladas and strawberry daiquiries but I know that Mark Fordyce consumed ten of them on his own.
The club did a wonderful job with setting up the right environment and Jodie Penk from Fuse2 was a fantastic help with graphic design work that gave the evening that little bit extra something. A very talented girl.
The @Jeffrey brown band really makes the bash rock. The music is something that people really look forward to. It isn’t often you’ll find a party where everyone gets up on the dancefloor and bops til they drop.
I don’t think there will be many more posts about trefbash in my timeline. I’ve trailed it enough and need now to move on. The profile pics can stay up for the moment but I daresay there will be something else to replace them. Interesting photos of manhole covers and nice scenic pictures of mists on waters. Back to the mundane things that mostly fill our lives.
I’m writing this in the hotel room whilst THG is out doing a bit of shopping before we flag down a taxi bound for Kings Cross station. Just a few bits from Liberty n stuff like that. Tonight we have a fabulous party to go to in Lincoln. Not a trefbash style party but one with great company and great food.
Tomorrow is going to be different again. Look out for photos of the Paul McCartney gig in Manchester. Life is short. Enjoy it while you can :).
PS don’t worry about trefbash being no more. Something will come along and fill the void.
