Sharing a quick wing attack game

Several months ago I experimented with early g2g4 (as white) and g7g5 (as black) games.

Here's another try :

Months ago on another chess server I posted a forum thread about it, and some players suggested that the other party could delay castling, and then use the h pawn to question the other party, g pawn.

In this game black goes for quick castling, and then the main king defender for black gets traded.
Of course, with that, white also loses an active piece, and the dark squares on the white queen side are a bit weakened, making white's choice for castling long a bit risky.
It is however, imho, not so easy for black to refute this idea.
What do you think ?

(I think that Richard Rapport would approve :D)
Something funny happened today.
I just played a game starting with :
1.c4 Nf6 2.b3 and my opponent replied ... with 2...g5?!?!! :))
(Kudos!!)

Then in the game itself I found a kind of fun idea.
I wanted to involve the Bf1 for the queenside wing attack, but I thought that g2g3 was too slow.
The solution ?
Just sac a rook, and get the Bf1 involved in the "normal" way, without fianchetto :))

#1 Looks like black chose the wrong plan. I would've tried attacking whites Q-side with pawns. For example play c5 in some moment. Black's king-side is not that bad. e5 and allowing white to play Nd5 was a terrible mistake.
