Churrasco with friends







Last night Darren and I had a ball having dinner with close friends Michael and Dianne plus Isa and Nick - celebrating Nick's birthday. How funny are these people once all together the jokes fly and we laugh all night. This all took place in Churrasco - Brazillian style BBQ in Coogee where Nick kept his green end up for more food all night. The resturant runs as a flat fee and eat as much as you would like. The idea is some thing like a Brazillian Yum Cha, with the beautiful waitresses coming to your table with large skewers and carving off chunks of beef, lamb, chicken and sausages along with bowls of vegetables and Salsa.
Isa kept us laughing with stories of her Indonesian wedding and food poisoning and her exciting times she is having working on "So You Think You CAn Dance" as a make-up artist. While Michael told us about life as a big time movie producer- stories of Sundance and Paul Fenech.
I would also like to congratulate Michael with his Bra Boys Movie and Sundance :
Bra Boys Wins At X-Dance Film Festival
Surfing - Sunday February 03 2008
E365 -- The highest grossing Australian documentary, Bra Boys, won best documentary at the 2008 X-Dance Film Festival in Salt Lake City, Utah. First-time director, Sunny Abberton and his crew accepted the award in typical Bra Boys fashion with tons of enthusiasm and gratitude for how far they’ve come from their difficult, impoverished upbringing in Sydney suburb, Maroubra Beach.
Released on March 15, 2007, in Australia, Bra Boys became an instant smash hit breaking a 17-year-old record for the most successful Australian, non-IMAX documentary-style film. Bra Boys quickly got the attention of Brian Grazer who will produce a fact-based drama based on the documentary. Crowe will make his directorial debut with the film scheduled for late 2008 release.

Michael and Dianne are going over to USA to Sunset Blvd. LA to open the premier of the movie as it released in 60 cinemas over America. Congratulations again Michael and Di as I know how much you have both given of yourselves for this film.

Dinner was great and cannot wait for the stories from the Premier. Also special thanks to my daughters for their debut in baby-sitting Isa and Nick's little girl- everyone had a ball.
