Hey Guys,

I know its a bit behind the times, but thought some of you might be interested in seeing some pics of the Halloween Cafe' Cruise for Charity in Brisbane.

A good turn out of people in costumes, no-one got lost and everyone had a fun night out touring the hot spots and landmarks of Brisbane. Personally, made a lot of new friends and everyone brought really relaxed attitudes.

We raised a couple hundred bucks for Citizens Against Road Slaughter (C.A.R.S.) and there's already been good feedback and ideas to grow the event for next year, but always keen to hear more. See you in '07!

Looks like it was a good night out, as was originally thought....
