Floriade has record crowd yet again

The population of Canberra and south eastern Australia continues to increase, and more people turn up to a free outdoors event. Who the fsck would have thought?

Floriade attendance always is bigger and better. The government says so, just like the chocolate ration in Oceania.

Hopefully Floriade will fall prey to must-be-bigger-and-better-every-year syndrome, and collapse under the weight of its own self-importance.

(Note: my loathing for floriade may well be irrational, but so is the idea that bazillions of people come to canberra just to see the damn tulips. Bowral has tulips, but nobody goes there anymore because it’s an irrelevant backwater sleepy-town, which is what, I fear, Canberra is slowly becoming.)

I hear possible showers are forecast for Saturday. Heheh.

Stick a gate up and charge 30 bucks to get in.

See how many freeloaders would actually pay to see flowers.

I’d suspect very few.

both?

AD, you’re just being silly!

A much better use for the dragsters would be to run them through the middle of the Multicultural Festival.

at the end of floriade they should run a dragway through the flowers. That is drag racing i would support. Not that i have anything against flowers. I just like seeing pretty things get destroyed.

Think of the extra crowds it would attract. You’re rev heads would flock to it. People who aren;t normally into flowers or cars would come to see this unique event. The protestors would come to protest but would have to pay to get anyway near. AND MOST OF ALL… those types that love flowers and cars (i call them hortiboganists) would get the event of a lifetime.

Wow, I wonder if a dragway would get such a crowd? 🙂
