Punk Palace birthday mural

Yesterday my friend Damian painted a wall at our friend Leon’s place for Leon’s birthday. Leon lives with our other friend Bartek in an awesome abode above a shop in Collingwood named Punk Palace. The wall painting was supposed to be a surprise. I inadvertently ruined it when Damo and I organised to have Bloody Mary’s whilst he was painting. He neglected to tell me it was a surprise though (he blames bourbon for this).

So on my way over I messaged Leon to say I’d be there soon and did he have any ice? He replied, “On your way where? My joint?” I said “Yes, Damo said he’s painting”. Leon said, “you may have just ruined a surprise…”

Awkward.

Leon came home halfway through the painting anyway, and he loved it. And then we went out for beers which led to a very tiring night for me by the time I got home. But oh well, your friends only turn 37 once!
