I tell you... working at Saint's and Sinners just gets better and better. Well I guess only better if I'm a total groupie, which I'm not, but it still is exciting. Why you ask? Well last night the Cantebury rugby team (Air New Zealand Cup) came into the bar.

This is where it's funny tho... These 2 guys come stumbling up to the bar - one of whom was wearing a Dallas Cowboys t-shirt. So I asked him if he was a Cowboys fan. I had no clue who he was and he couldn't speak so I told him that I couldn't serve him. I got the bouncer to escort him out. Effie then tells me that the 2 are All Blacks. Yep, the NZ national team - basically gods in this country - and they got kicked out of a backpackers bar. Oh well. I don't care who you are if you're wasted you're out.

Turns out Effie's (the bouncer) cousin is Tone Kopelani, a player on the Crusaders and Canterbury team. Very cool.

Well most of the boys left but by closing time Cory Flynn and Tone were still hanging out - trying to avoid the town bike to be honest - and just having a great time. Very nice boys. I'll tell you what, my faith in the NZ professional sports guys is being redeemed slowly but surely.

It was just such a fun night. It was my first night in charge and it went quite smoothly. I'm quite looking forward to this new job. I was exhausted this morning tho when I woke up after only 3 hours of sleep. And I get to do it all again tonight. This temping during the day and slinging piss at night is gonna do me in I tell you!! At least I have the next 2 days off...

There were heaps of cool people in the bar last night, not just the rugby guys. People definitely on a mission to drink. Hell, monday night i saw enough boobies to last me a life time... Brent was offering shooters for hooters. I asked if i could offer drinks for cocks but I was quickly shut down. It wouldn't have been a pretty sight anyways!

So anyways, as usual life in the backpackers world is exciting and fun and exhausting. From the band, to the street performers to the backpackers themselves, there is always something exciting going on at Base and Saints and Sinners....

Well until next time...
