White Night, Melbourne, 2014
« on: February 26, 2014, 09:08:12 am »
Hiya Brokies,
We recently celebrated White Night in Melbourne, so I thought I would share a film created by my boyfriend Jolyon:


He has many other films on his channel too: jolyonp, including a Eurovision documentary and one from the 30th anniversary of the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras in Sydney, 2008 (which rolls around again this weekend):


I notice there are a couple of cowboys in red there.

Hope you are all well!

Peter
Cheerio,
PJ

Tell him when l come up to him and ask to play the record, l'm gonna say: ''Voulez-vous jouer ce disque?''
'Voulez-vous, will you kiss my dick?'
Will you play my record? One-track mind!

Thank you both.  In the White Night video I am the one in the flat cap.

Great video of the White Night! I liked all the light installations. :)

Somehow I mixed up events and thought of Diner en Blanc. Different pair of shoes however, as I've learned now. ;D

Here's Wikipedia's entry for White Night events, in case I'm not the only one who doesn't know:

Very cool videos!!!!  Loved the light installations as well, and the projections on the buildings.

Never heard of White Night before.

Seems like a very cool event.

Great video, and I loved all the light installations too!

Thanks for posting, Peter. Are you the guy waving his arms in front of the green light?

Yes that's right Sason - that's me in the flat cap.
No worries at all - glad you liked it.
It was a fun night and only the second year held here.
Cheerio,

Maybe not - but not many people around here have presented themselves in a video!!   ;D

Good to see you Peter!

If you are interested, there is a thread called "So What Do We Look Like Anyway?" and it's a place for members here to share pics of themselves, if they choose to.

If you're not comfortable with that, that's perfectly fine, it's not required.  But if you want to see some of us, and add your pic as well, feel free to join us!
