It's Christmas time in The City...

You know it's xmas party season in Sydney when you can't find a taxi for 10 blocks in any direction on a Thursday or Friday night; when the least-revealing article of clothing the bunch of chicks staggering past have on is their tacky red santa hats; when every boat on the harbour is booked out for the requisite corporate booze cruise; when the Pitt Street mall is packed to the brim with sweaty shoppers while the generic xmas toons blare out from the boom boxes in every shop window; and when Mei actually dons a nice dress.

Action from GeekCentral - the FairfaxDigital party. The theme is Bond, James Bond. The guests do their best to match the suave persona of Her Majesty's superagent, but it's hard to save the world and get the girl(s) when you're simultaneously trying to decide if you next character should be that cool elvish sharpshooter or that hulking skull-crushing barbarian fighter. Given the clientele, maybe they should have just held the party in Second Life ;)
