Don't know why I'm only seeing this awesome ad now, but I did hear about PAX and wasn't able to return down south anyway at that time

It was 18 months after I moved out of Melbourne! (After being there many many years and at the venue a bunch of times... now 1,500km away.)

Would have been a great opportunity to increase my F2F encounters with some of the Gloranthan figures beyond the current total of 3 though!!

Something Gloranthan in Sydney maybe? :)

That's my go-to big city now
