Party tram

The party tram was about a month ago now, can't believe I forgot to write about it.
Went pretty smoothly once we got started; before that it was chaos! Set-up the auxilary equipment, such as stereo, compy to run sound, etc, had it going pretty well... then it died. Turned out the 12V cigarette socket had a lower fuse than we were pulling, so that went. So we grabbed a spare socket, hooked a 25A breaker to it (a 300W inverter would pull 25A), and then had to make the wiring to hook it all together.
By that stage, I was stressing, as I was supposed to pick everyone up at 5, everyone at the tram stop ended up catching an incoming tram, then we headed out. Again. Got to Pall Mall... and the road was blocked. The tram line was only HALF blocked, they had a bike race on in town (thanks for the notice guys...) and the witches' hats were on the running rail, not the edge of the lane. So we made them move the hats so we could get through. Picked up the last of the peoples at the fountain about an hour late (they were going to be that late anyway, but grr...)

Cruised around for a bit, got some food, cruised some more, then handed the reigns over to my boss, who was kind enough to participate in the madness that is a LANaway-crowd event. By the end of the night, I was drunk, as was half the tram, our resident ninja had performed some pole dancing on the tram's handrails, and posed with the statues on the fountain in town.
And he was sober.
All in all, an aweseome night. Must do it again sometime! As soon as we find that fkn fuse we blew...
