Rachel's love for apples and dancing would dictate what happened throughout the evening, so we began with an apple carving contest, with caramel and peanut butter used as glue/dip. As soon as Rachel judged the winner, DJ Matt started the music and the dining hall/art exhibit transformed itself into dance floor. This may just be hearsay, but apparently statements like 'best birthday ever', and 'best night of my life' were being thrown about.
The next honouree would be Tommy, who, we hear, is into video games like Winnie is into honey. A video-game themed party was the plan, and the cookie just seemed to crumble in the right way for this to happen. The labyrinth that had been created for the previous community night (more on that later??), lent itself very well to a life-size version of PacMan. So with a few extra paths carved in it, the maze was set for the game, and PacMan (aka Tommy) ran about collecting paua shells and trying not to get caught by the ghosts (aka his 'friends'). MarioKart followed, and participants wheelbarrowed, scootered and jump-roped around the course, collecting items from the mystery boxes and either hurling a lemon, getting a boost, or getting a star. Our own version of Mortal Kombat, involving popping the balloons attached to your opponent rounded out the evening, and worked up that last bit of appetite for the deliciousness that awaited us. That is, the dirt cake. mmmmm
