Following from what Nick said yesterday, had a wonderful time with him, Lauren and the rest of the executive team! And of course catching up with Jess once more, which will happen again (thanks to some behind the scene stuff).
Also special thanks to the other state mods that spared their time, including Shadowxo, Calebark and miniturtle. Day ended up being a pretty poor choice so it definitely meant a lot to us. (It really just means that next time I go down we'll have a bigger meet-up anyway)
And lastly, a MASSIVE, HUGE shoutout to insanipi for essentially donating 3 consecutive full days for my own sake whilst I was in Melbourne. At the end of the day, during this block the true MVP has got to be her, leading and guiding me around the places, planning everything in Melbourne well ahead, providing continuous awesome company, getting us out of trouble and heck, pretty much fulfilling the role of a best friend. Especially since it doesn't stop there, with all the behind-the-scenes stuff she does for me (and in fact others); recent example being her role in compiling images for the guide. This trip/vacation would not have been so successful without any of the input she gave and I'm incredibly in debt to her for it all.
