Friday Night At Grevillea Park

[MKDR33]

so i take it no one is goin out to museum tnite?

[Sauce]

The beer in my hand says "No"

[Terminal]

mine says a lot of things. it keeps telling me the old lady next door is getting hotter

[MKDR33]

oh well, went n saw no one.. where does everyone usually hang out? i went around the back at the deliveries dock?

[SKYLVIA]

normally just in the carpark. normally more of a turnout in summer as its not as ball shattering standing out there...

[sigsputnik]

my flat battery told me i wasn't going anywhere

[MIVEC]

Well someone drove by in a white 33 but they didn't feel like stopping and chatting.

Too cool for school!

[sigsputnik]

in their defence, it can be pretty daunting to meet a bunch of people for the first time (canberra skyline krew or otherwise). i speak from experience!

[JaiJai]

yes Ill raise my hand to that... I really should meet all of you though so thats the place to be huh friday nights at the museum, what about saturday nights?

[Terminal]

that's drinking night, no driving then

True dat.

[sigsputnik]

True dat.

Yes, this is easy for the in-group to say. But it has the same effect as telling a junky to 'just say no'.

All I'm saying is that it's important to be aware that not everyone is so comfortable fronting up to a new group without prior introduction.

[MANG]

i was there about 9:30 in the prelude, saw 3 skylines heard an r33 go round the back a bit after a white skyline drove past me then there was a dark blue r32 later

i see what people mean though. I rocked up once and had a chat to mivec for a while but didnt know any of the others. I felt a little out of place and after a quick chat headed on home... but if i had not recognised mivic i probably would have kept on trucking

[sigsputnik]

see that's interesting because whenever i see leech he's always chatting and that.

i have no problem meeting strangers - but not everyone is like me (or you skylvia thank god JOKES JOKES). but seriously i'm just saying that the perception and reality are different things.

i mean, what is it that people are actually scared of here? nothing, it's all irrational: no one is gonna say "oh you're a wanker take your skyline and get lost". we can say that we're friendly and approachable all we like, it's the appearance and perception that matters. i think it's important to be aware of that is all.
