Dark
On the floor
Stand Up
People Running
A high pitched whistle; i can't see......
What the hell was that
Voices
RUN
RUN
I can't hear f*** all



....


Running up stairs
Max - "Someone is gonna be kicked out for that"
Dog - "Has that dude still got a hand"
Dirk - "It was my beard buddy"


Stairs
Room
Safety


Flashback - Chennai



** fan blades spinning, helecopter blades soundtrack **


Hot
Damn Hot
We see india
Traffic
Lots of traffic
and noise


Chaos


Shanties
Tins Huts, Blue roofs and poverty
Beggers at the taxi window, babies in arms - pitiful


Chaos


Bikes - in out and everywhere - horns
A blur
The hotel
aircon
cool
relax


........


and breath

The Marriott, Chennai - 3rd Aug, 11pm, Opening party.


The tuk tuk ride to the marriot was like staring death in the face, straight into the traffic the wrong way on a one way system.
Max "40 quid for 3 gin and tonics....hells teeth..""...is someone having a laugh" Maximus flailed his arms inanely.
As always Dirk tried to reason with the dome headed fool"Dude, go and get the reciept""F%#@ me, 73% tax..." for once crome dome was correct in his assesment of the situation, it seems the intrepid four had been legally robbed.
Although beers were reasonably cheap anything liquer like was heavily taxed, and beyoned the party atmosphere of India largest radio staions charity party, a deathly silence entered the room.
Now a fully laden tuk tuk bearing 7 drunk guests made their way to the Park hotel
Another round by badger face of flaming tower of alchohol, costing around 91000 rupee.
Ride back in tuk tuk to hotel for about an 1hour approx 4 miles away because the driver refused to admit he had no idea where our hotel was.
tuk tuk briefing at the school of idiots, waited for hours only for nothing to happen. Out again for launch party?!?! Bored by inane chattering by the indians running/sponsering the event. No one understood a word. "What was that, something about curry?" Free curry of all descritions, and free mixers. wasn't eneough, searched refuge in the marriot again. astounded by the quality of women. Enough, lets go back. Entering the hotel, we were greeted by random competitor who offered an oasis of beer and bad times. 30 people in hotel room drinking hard. and then it happened.
