Do any of you guys think that a lot of people who go to Field Day aren't the kind of people that you normally see at these types of events (albeit those on a smaller scale)?
I say this because I got the sense that a fair few people at the event were not interested in meeting strangers 'whilst trashed', as papermate put it. You'd say G'day, maybe compliment them on their great accessories (I saw a bloke with some Amber sunnies about two feet wide, they were great), and mostly people just aren't interested. If anything, they make an effort to look like you've actually made their day worse.
Of course, not everyone was like this. I did meet about three or four groups who were great, especially some poppers/lockers and one couple who brought glowsticks (Are they like, unfashionable or something? They're the only people I've seen with them in Sydney, apart from Sublime @ Horden, but that was only because people were handing them out. Back in Perth you're normally blinded by the chemical glow).
Maybe the whole scene's different in Sydney compared to Perth? You guys don't seem to have heard of Medic or Vicks Inhaler over here. I got the oddest looks when I offered it around...
