We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.

Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Australians do what Australians do

Yesterday, a group of Australian (and other) bloggers and readers got together in the Three Wise Monkeys pub in central Sydney. Beer was consumed, impassioned conversation was had, a little rugby was watched, and although Tim Blair was not present due to being on his annual drive across America, a good time was had by all.

Jason Soon, Sasha Castel, and Craig Gaynor appear to be curiously inattentive to the Samizdatista present

Tim Lambert begs Scott Wickstein to let him know where he got the shirt

Scott and Tex get into the sort of bonding that was unfashionable amongst Australians until quite recently

James Russell and Michael Jennings smile about the fine Australian beverages

Ken Parish and Jason appear to somehow be having far too serious a conversation for the venue.

James Morrow looks somehow very American.

Ken, Scott, Mr ATM, James, and a Samizdata reader who it was great to talk to, but whose name was later deleted from my brain by the beer. (Sorry, although if you leave a comment, I will add to this caption. Update: Shaun Bourke)

Yes, it was that kind of evening.
