Brisbane Retrospective: February 2012
I went to Brisbane for the organised drinks with no expectations whatsoever. I'm from an era in which online stranger-danger was put forward as a thing to be very afraid of, but that was definitely not prevalent here. In fact, it was quite the opposite.
Everyone that I met was very friendly. I wasn't sure how well it'd go, given that I'd just thrown my hand up to stay in the group house, paid my share, gotten the address and had absolutely no idea with whom I'd be staying. Though, I trust Wenchy's judgement, and anyone whom she vouches for is good enough for me, I get nervous meeting new people.
Massive thanks go to Wenchy, though. She was instrumental in this weekend, and we all need to tip our collective hats to her.
Thanks to Softly, Gottafish, Kiwiman, Jimbob, Wenchy and everyone else who stayed with us, for being great to live with for the duration. Thanks to same for being so accepting.
Thanks to the community at large, too, for your strong sense of community policing. It's comforting to know that bullshit isn't tolerated, but that you can still have a bit of a giggle and a gentle jab at people. It's a great balance, and you've struck it well.
Hopefully we'll all see each other again soon. I'm very much looking forward to it.
