National Multicultural Festival 2008

I went shopping in Civic on sat arvo and never even realised this thing was on… Canberra centre’s got so big now that it’s easy to get trapped into not going outside at all.

Miss the Alcoholic Frolic. We used to get there while the grass was still wet with dew, and stake out a spot on the lawns in the gardens down from Regatta Point, in the rhododendrons. We’d bring deck chairs, the sunday papers, and lots of nice food. Then various of us would venture out to the paddocks to forage and bring back out kill, and word the others up as to what was good.

the hoons were being hoons in the paddocks, but in the lawns and gardens on the perimter, it was very civilised and we’d be long gone before the silly stuff started up.

The victorian policewomen’s marching band was always a highlight… they weren’t from victoria, and they weren’t police, and they weren’t women, either.

Nice to see life in Canberra. It was a great night out and theres lots more activities to come too!

I tried getting into Civic after I expected everything to be finished, but at 1am there were still massive lines to get in anywhere.

So I just went back to the football club and won myself a jackpot on the pokies, care of some old ladies’ pension.

It was a chance for the Grannies to get on the plonk and fight each other with their walking sticks.

nah, you still had to get stinking drunk at the Frolic.

You mean, there’s something attractive to the masses that doesn’t involve people getting stinking drunk, harassing women and using cars as substitutes for brains and whatever other parts of their anatomy are missing?

lol. Just bring the wheelie bins into Civic!
Seriously though. I completely forgot that the Food day was on yesterday. I missed out, again!!!!!!

ARgH…..

I think it turned into a huge drunken hoon fest.
People were turning up to commonwealth park with wheelie bins full of alcohol, then sat on the grass in the sun and just drank all day….it was great!

Does anybody know why it got moved out of Commonwealth park?

I couldn’t believe the amount of people, and yeah more areas to sit wouldn’t go astray, A wonderful time was to be had though I think.
