After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.
Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.
Well... I wont say that the Celebrate the Bean festival held today in Melbourne was a complete fiasco - far from it - from a promoter's point of view it was an outstanding success!
I'm not sure if there was a numbers count, but crowd size was significantly up on last year, and the new setting in the dramatic Docklands is a fitting canvas to showcase the best of what Melbourne has to offer: A fantastic outdoor setting right on the water, with brilliant weather, and plenty of al fresco dining.
If anything it was a little too successful if you will pardon me from mentioning the 'S' word in such shallow terms.
Crowd numbers were enormous and there was no shade to be had anywhere, except in the promotional marques themselves - which were tiny and always full, or else in the bevy of restaurants and cafes that adorn the waterfront, and these appeared to be universally empty.
Note to festival organizers:
