News In Briefs

We're Back!

Well folks, News In Briefs is back from the Lexmark Indy 300 on the Gold Coast. Let me tell you, it's quite possibly the biggest party in Australia. You may scoff and claim that New Years Eve in Sydney is big, or maybe the Spring Carnival down in Melbourne, but Indy is a 96 hour party. Non-stop. Seriously.
We news types are generally a little more conservative than most, and so we spent time sleeping and having dinner and that kind of thing. But there were people coming and going from the hotel at all hours, one guy ordered a jug of bourbon and coke so he didn't have to queue at the bar. THAT's dedicaton to partying.
So if your girlfriend has an Indy tattoo on her body, ask her twice where she's been. Odds are good she was at Legends, Melba's, or at the Indy party.
