Haggy's 21st Birthday Celebrations

January 10, 2002 marked the 21 years in the life of Christopher Norman John Hagstrom. Having spent a week on Queensland Gold Coast the event turned to Jupiter's Casino where family and friends gathered for a night of gambling and drinking followed by night clubbing. The gambling was a success for father and two sons, walking away with a healthy swag of dollars, however the gambling did not favor Haggy's friends, with all of them loosing a considerable amount of cash. How much trav?? Was that a hundred dollars in one hit??

From the Casino it was off to the nightclub strip on the Gold Coast. Loosing a couple of folks on the way due to commitments the next morning and illness from the previous nights efforts on double Tequila Sunrise! However the night of dancing and drinking was fantastic. Leaving the nightclubs at 5am and arriving home at the unit at a bleary 6am, Haggy's 21st was officially over. However things soon changed, it was Friday the 11th January and it was time for the first one day cricket International Australia V New Zealand. So following a couple of hours sleep it was off to the Surf Club to continue gambling on the pokies and watch the cricket with a few beers. A successful pokie session saw the winning of many Palm Beach Surf Club Show Bags and cccaaaaaassssshhhhh.

Well that ended Haggy's 21st Birthday celebrations. I would like to thank my parents for holding an absolutely fantastic night and providing an excellent week for me and my friends. I would also like to thank my friends and family for making the effort for coming along and celebrating, I'm sure we did it in style. Roll on 2006 for my 25th Birthday Celebrations!!!
