My Facebook Protest:

Welcome to my new replacement for Facebook! I have a few blogs floating around in the ether and I think they're a great idea. Facebook was really good for sharing photos but the format was always changing and the privacy settings were always changing and I'm just going to do it this way now, so there. For the unfamiliar of you, don't panic. I try to use pseudonyms where I can.

This weekend, I had a Fantastic time with some good friends and my Moda. We went to the "Man From Snowy River Bush Festival" on the weekend - it was so much fun! The man from Snowy River is an Aussie bush legend - Banjo Patterson wrote a very famous poem about him: http://www.middlemiss.org/lit/authors/patersonab/poetry/snowy.html there was a rodeo (which freaked me out a bit with the raging bulls and the limping cowboys) and lots of buskers, poetry readings, markets and a bush idol concert with amazing talent! Most of the competitors sang original songs.
Moda had a "four pie day" on the Saturday since there was really only show food. The best part of the weekend was a campfire sing-along in the rain. An old bush whacker brought heaps of instruments, including a few homemade ones that he let us play. I'll try to figure out how to post photos up here. Next year I'll be dragging a few girlfriends out there and they will love it.
