The night was calm and slightly overcast to hold in the days warmth (but clearing later in the night). We were drinking, to prepare ourselves for the gruelling ordeal ahead, the couch mission thru town.

At 11pm Saturday the 23rd of September, we sat on the couch, and raised our glasses to a mission that could not fail (or so we hoped). Nerves ran high as we placed our chupa chups in our mouths and picked up the couch for a night out on the town...

We had barely walked out the door and down the street when our first photo op arose. Walking past a group of people exiting a Malaysian restaurant we got the comment..
"Where you guys going with that couch? Trying to pick up chicks I suppose."
Well yes, but of course! So before they knew it we had their chicks on the couch, talking a photo and handing out chupa chups.
First chicks on couch...
OK so they were a little older, but it was a confidence booster and we began to get psyched up for the rest of the night, check out that grin on my face.
After stopping in the middle of the intersection of Kent Terrace and Courtenay Place we moved on to Opera, where the bouncers there kindly volunteered themselves for another photo shoot. The guy on the couch came running out when he saw us, jumped the couch, then sat back relaxed like he owned the thing. Fucking yeah. We were beginning to feel the buzz...

Cheers dudes. Next stop was down Blair Street where we got a good photo in the center of the street...

From there we went on to...
