On Saturday, we studied for most of the day, writing papers. Lina got invited to a classmate's house for dinner and Jillian got invited to watch fireworks at her friend's place. I went with Jillian so we could see RiverFire. RiverFire is the kick-off ceremony of the Brisbane Festival. They shoot fireworks from the buildings and bridges along the river and F111's fly overhead and do a dump and burn. They said this year was the last year they were going to do the dump and burn, but they also said that last year, so who knows. We watched from a rooftop along Coronation Drive, and then played poker $5 buy in. I was one of the last 3, but down pretty much the whole time. Jillian and I bought a bottle of Smirnoff and finished it between the two of us!! Lina met us at the party and then we took a taxi home.
Here's a cheesy video that shows what RiverFire is all about:
