Robert Antonelli, Jr.
Asst. Commissioner
50 Skyline Drive
Worcester, MA 01605
Phone: (508) 799-1190
Fax: (508) 799-1293
Hours: M-F 7:30 AM - 5:00 PM
Location: Heard Street to Knox Street -
Map It!
Size/Land Area: 50.1 Acres.
Playground? Yes.
Ball Field? Yes.
Pool? No.
The original 50 acres of Hadwen Park were donated to the City by Park Commissioner Obadiah B. Hadwen in 1902. An additional purchase of a small parcel was made from Charles C. Mann in 1918 making for a total acreage of 50.138. Certainly a gem of a park and one of the most serene hiking areas in the city. Hadwen Park has it all; winding trails and steep hills, as well as a long, quick-flowing river that runs from Leesville to Curtis Pond. This park is only two minutes from Webster Square, lying across Curtis Pond from Hope Cemetery.
Large enough to provide a total escape from urban sights and sounds, the park is small enough for hikers to roam at random along a series of interconnected looping trails and paths through a wide range of natural terrain without a map.
Not too long ago the park was home to three resident deer. Apparently two of those deer have moved on leaving one lone deer roaming the park. A slew of other wildlife can also be witnessed. There are many unusual birds such as red-tailed hawks and great-horned owls.
Hadwen Park is open from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The trail head can be reached from Webster Square by taking Webster Street to Knox Street to the stone gate entrance to the park. Parking is allowed on Knox Street, and there are no entrance fees.

Thanksgiving Recipes
For many cooks, preparing the Thanksgiving recipes for the big dinner—whether brining the bird or filling the apple pies—is the most exciting and daunting kitchen challenge of the year. But no matter how many things are on your to-do list, our easy Thanksgiving recipes will be sure to keep you on track—and bring a satisfied smile to your guests' faces come dinnertime. Hate the hectic last-minute rush? Get ahead of the game this year with one of our make ahead Thanksgiving desserts or Thanksgiving side dishes, like a colorful Autumn cabbage slaw, cider roasted vegetables, or gingersnap pear cheesecake. (Or get that slow cooker working!) Looking for a few new Thanksgiving recipes to spice up your usual menu? Swap out the casserole this year and try dressing your green beans with a bacon vinaigrette instead, or whip up a batch of roasted apple pie ice cream instead of fussing with a crust. It might just become a new tradition!
How Long to Cook a Turkey, in One Easy Chart
You have your bird (and a recipe), but how long, exactly, are you supposed to cook it? Here's a handy guide.
26 Holiday Pie and Tart Recipes
Buttery crusts plus rich fillings equals total deliciousness.
5 Fabulous No-Bake Holiday Desserts
Main course monopolizing your appliance space? Treat your guests to one of these delicious desserts—no oven required.
Thanksgiving Green Bean Recipes
Can't contemplate Thanksgiving without a green bean side dish to cozy up to your turkey and stuffing? Our archives are full of tasty Thanksgiving green bean recipes that make the most of seasonal ingredients without requiring a ton of time. Of course, a classic green bean casserole—baked with creamy mushrooms and crowned with crunchy onions—is always a crowd pleaser, but sometimes you want to aim a little higher than the stuff from the can. Our version swaps out the supermarket soup mix for an easy sauce of fresh mushrooms that tastes every bit as decadent and comes together in a flash. Or maybe you feel like breaking out of your holiday rut? Try tossing blanched beans with crunchy roasted nuts and tangy dried cranberries for a pop of sweetness, or stirring together a salad of tender beans, crunchy fennel, toasted walnuts, and creamy feta cheese.
Thanksgiving Carrot Recipes
Roasted, shredded, glazed, or steamed—any which way you like your carrots prepared, we've got an archive full of enticing Thanksgiving carrot recipes that are guaranteed to please. Want to keep things simple? Roasted carrots tossed with cumin require virtually no prep and minimal cleanup; pair them with a pile of crunchy pine nuts and sweet-tart orange slices, and you have a sophisticated side dish that's delicious and deceptively easy. Feel like going a more traditional route? Play up carrots' natural sweetness with a light brown sugar glaze, balanced out by crunchy, nutty pecans and a bright pop of fresh rosemary.
Thanksgiving Sweet Potato Recipes
Colorful, festive, and oh-so-delicious, sweet potatoes are a holiday staple that no Thanksgiving menu should be without. Our updated spin on the classic sweet potato casserole swaps a crunchy coconut topping in for candy-sweet marshmallows—but if you're looking to break out of the usual routine, our archives are full of plenty more tempting Thanksgiving sweet potato recipes that play up the savory side of this seasonal favorite. Nutty pecans make a natural partner for the tasty tubers, bringing out their earthy richness—and sharp, salty cheeses, like Parmesan, can help balance out their natural sweetness. (Cheesy sweet potato wedges? Yes, please!) Or, for something new and fresh, try incorporating tender, roasted sweet potatoes into a hearty side salad packed with mustardy kale and tart, crunchy apples.
Pumpkin Bread in a Pumpkin Can
Warmly spiced pumpkin bread is a fall-baking must: it's easy to whip up, it's crowd-pleasing, and it makes your kitchen smell incredible. This recipe uses the entire can of pumpkin, which acts as an adorable baking vessel for our pumpkin bread batter. The bread rises up over the top of the can, creating a puffy muffin top sprinkled with a nutty brown sugar streusel. To serve, slide the loaf out of the can, cut into round slices, and enjoy while still warm. Alternatively, wrap a ribbon around the can and give it as a hostess gift. You'll have some extra batter but you won't need extra cans: bake the overflow in a loaf pan, or divided in a muffin tin. All of Libby's cans are BPA-free.
Cheesy Hasselback Yams
There's more to hasselback potatoes than just impressive-looking slices. Unlike a traditional baked potato, which is the same consistency through and through, each slice of a hasselback yam achieves crispy edges and a smooth, soft interior. Even more exciting is the way flavor seeps into the entire potato—in this case, every bite is infused with butter and fresh herbs. A generous handful of grated cheese (we like a blend of Gruyere and Parmesan) melts in between each slice, ensuring the entire yam is filled with salty, cheesy goodness. To easily slice a hasselback, set the yam between two wooden chopsticks; they will stop the knife from cutting all the way through.
9 Easy Thanksgiving Desserts
Each of these delicious Thanksgiving desserts—from a cherry cheesecake to a chocolate tart—takes 20 minutes or less to prep.
10 Fresh Fall Salads for the Thanksgiving Table
Sure, Thanksgiving might be mostly about the turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes. But that doesn't mean that you should skip the greens: they're a fresh counterpoint to all of the carb-heavy plates. And when you've got an exciting salad selection picked out, they won't feel dutiful. You need something that's light with interesting texture and color to stand up to all of the other healthy dishes. You also need something with a bit of structure that won't wilt immediately, especially if you do Thanksgiving family style. Luckily, each of these ten options fits the bill. And, as an added bonus, each one is also make ahead. Take our Shaved Brussels Sprouts with Manchego and Almonds. You can assemble the entire dish the day ahead, and the Brussels won't brown or turn soggy during the meal. Our Grilled Radicchio Salad with Goat Cheese, Thyme, and Grapes has a smoky component, a tangy component, a salty one, and a sweet one. It's balanced and complex, and won't be shoved to the far corner of the dinner table. Several of our other salads have sweet-tart components in them like apples, citrus segments, and pomegranate seeds. Think about it: these flavors are in cranberry sauce, too, and pair exceptionally well with roasted meat. You might just want to add some of these options to your regular weeknight dinner rotation.

O.A.R. Launches Twitter Songwriting Contest
"I really kind of got into it with the first idea, 'Wouldn't it be cool if we could just kind of get together with the people and hear what they have to say lyrically?'" Roberge says. "And then I thought further about it and said, 'If I collected all of these lyrics from these people and wrote music inspired by it, it's truly like an original idea.'
"I do a lot of co-writing, I like to meet up with songwriters in New York City but I guarantee you there are kids out there living in Kansas City who don't necessarily have the opportunity to get their lyrics out there. So it's a pretty original idea and a cool way to get together and be inspired by people that keep in touch with us."
Beginning today (June 9) through July 7, fans can submit their lyrics, 140 characters at a time, to O.A.R.'s page at twitter.com/ofarevolution. The band will then pick three winning verses, a chorus, and a bridge that will make up the lyrics of the song. Roberge said in a perfect world, all five songwriting parts will come from different submissions. At that point, the winning song lyrics will be posted for fans to once again get involved by submitting potential song titles.
"We're going to put up video footage throughout our summer tour (on Twitter) so people can follow along and see the (songwriting) process," Roberge says. "What I wanted to do is keep it as close to realistic as possible. When we get the lyrics and the title together, then we'll really show where we cut drums or write the hooks, or whatever we're doing we'll be filming it and putting it up there.
"So everyday there will be a new update on what we did with this song and how close are we to recording it. We just want to make it really interactive." Proceeds from the sale of the new single will be donated to the band's Heard the World Fund, which provides resources for under-funded educational and youth-oriented programs.
The singer-guitarist says the band is also looking ahead to the follow-up release of its 2008 effort "All Sides." In fact, the outfit has been working on new material, including the jam-friendly, saxophone-fueled "What in the World?," which could see stage time on its current "This Town Summer Tour" within the next week. O.A.R. is scheduled to play tomorrow (June 10) in St. Louis, Mo. There's also talk of a new concert CD being recorded this year.
"We'll be recording a live record here shortly before the next studio record," Roberge says. "We just haven't really nailed down where we're going to be recording it yet, but the fans can definitely look forward to seeing a live record before the next studio record."
He adds, "I'd absolutely love to have it out by the holidays."

Proofreading, copy editing, translation - how do I get work?(7 Posts)
I'm an academic but things have taken a turn for the worse and I'm currently unemployed. I need to pay the mortgage whilst I keep looking for work (and ultimately I may need to change careers). I have two young children and lost my job whilst on maternity leave which made things tricky.
I have recently taken on two jobs - jobs in the sense of one-off paid jobs - and would like more.
The first was translation - Welsh/English.
The other one was proofreading a book for a major publisher (the published my own book, and I got the work through word of mouth).
My problem is getting more work like this.
Should I be contacting the publisher I worked for before, and actually asking? I'm shy about doing that - but then I can't just wait for things to drop in my lap, I guess!
They promised me more work, but haven't been in touch; although they did indeed offer me a second job but I wasn't able to take it due to other commitments and school holidays, but that has changed now. I wonder whether I should remind them that I am now available and the last refusal was an unfortunate situation!
Should I be contacting other publishers and that kind of thing, or are they going to have their own proofreaders and don't need freelancers? I am able to do high-level Welsh language work as well as English, and there are a good number of publishers in Wales who might require that!
If I do contact them, what do I say? Do I include a CV, or a reference from the other job, or just a business card or what?
Many thanks for any help you can offer me - I'm a woman stuck in an unfortunate situation, not of my own doing!
Definitely get back in touch with editorial department of your publisher. Hardly anyone turns work down - so when you did, they probably scubbed you off their list 'mentally' iyswim. Ring them up and let them know that you are available and send a back-up letter/e-mail "Great to talk just know. Just to confirm that as discussed, I am still available + contact details etc". You have a great advantage over other copy-editors looking for work there in that they already know you/have published your book, so don't be shy about it (I know that's easier said than done but they won't think it is pushy at all if they have already offered you work before now).
Secondly, do you have formal proof-reading/copy-editing qualifications? If not, it would be good to acquire some. Following links could be a bit out of date but no doubt someone will come and offer more up-to-date info if so.
See more info here and here Can personally recommend former (not sure about latter)
www.sfep.org.uk/pub/mship/membership.asp Rushing atm (departing for quick hol) but think this is the one where, I think, you can register for work
Have a look at People Per Hour Dot Com
Have a look here Great source of info (on-line or hard copy) for people working in publishing industry. List of publishers who specialise in your partic genre etc.
Sorry for haste - dashing - good luck!
Sorry -forgot to add
Definitely contact other publishers. Perhaps put a little brochure together listing your training and experience (possibly hourly rate) and contact details and send out. You could even set up a little web site of your own. Full CV not necessary just qualifications/training/experience pertinent to publishing work.
Sorry - no experience of translation work but there are similar bodies/training establishments/contacts for those too
Good luck!!
I agree; definitely get back in touch. It sounds like your expertise are quite specialist so I would imagine that academic publishers such as University Presses would be the area to focus on. Have you done any research to find out what publishers work in the areas you specialise in? I recommend you find a copy of the Writers' and Artists' Yearbook and browse the publishers listings. I know it is hard to get in touch, actively seek work, but it is the only way I think. Good luck!
Hi - I'm a afreelance proofreader and copy-editor and also a member of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders (www.sfep.org.uk). Why don't you join them and if you can qualify for ordinary membership you can take out a Directory entry that potential clients look through to choose new freelances.
If you don't qualify for ordinary membership you can become an associate and and an Associates Availablr list goes out to clients every month.
Also, join the Freelance Alliance as it can be great for clients looking for new freelances.
I'd also do some cold calling - email/ring the publisher you worked for in the past and say you're available. Ring publishers who publish similar books and sell yourself to them!
Def contact all Welsh publishers too - translating is a real niche so few editors will be able to offer that.
I'd re-do your cv and update it with all your publishing/translation-related credentials. The SfEP site has loads of useful info on it, so have a look. Good luck!!
Thank you!
I haven't got back in touch with my publisher yet - but I did contact UWP and they were dead keen because I can do Welsh medium stuff! So that's a start. I will look into all the other options as well, such as being accredited.
Thanks for such valuable advice!
Hi Wails, not sure what your position is a year later, but I am looking for associates for my academic proofreading agency to help out with the influx of MA theses that I get over summer. If you are interested, please email me: email@example.com for more information. Thankyou!

DUBLIN -- The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that Ireland's laws banning abortion breach European human rights law.
In a landmark and binding case that could have implications for other European countries, the court ruled that Ireland had breached the human rights of a woman with a rare form of cancer who feared it would relapse when she became unintentionally pregnant.
However, the woman was unable to find a doctor willing to make a determination as to whether her life would be at risk if she continued her pregnancy to term.
Early Dec. 16, the court concluded that neither the "medical consultation nor litigation options" relied on by the government constituted an effective or accessible procedure.
"Moreover, there was no explanation why the existing constitution right had not been implemented to date," the court ruled.
While abortion remains a criminal offense under 1861 legislation, a technical constitutional right to abortion does exist in Ireland following a 1992 Supreme Court ruling. In a controversial judgment known as the "X case," the court established the right of Irish women to an abortion if a pregnant woman's life was at risk as a result of the pregnancy.
However, successive governments have not legislated on the issue, and several constitutional referenda variously aimed at either enacting or revoking the judgment have proved inconclusive.
Guidelines from the Irish Medical Council describe abortion as "professional misconduct."
The European court case was filed in 2005; in 2009 it had an oral hearing before the court's grand chamber. This 17-judge court is reserved to hear cases that raise serious questions affecting the interpretation of the European Convention of Human Rights. As a signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights -- now incorporated into Irish law -- the government is obliged to remedy any breaches of the convention.
Ireland and Malta are the only member-states of the Council of Europe in which abortion remains illegal.
Two other Irish women who took cases before the court in Strasbourg, France, were unsuccessful in their bids. The first woman, who was claiming the right to an abortion because she was living in poverty and felt unable to raise the child, had her case struck down. Her case, if successful, would have forced Ireland to legislate for abortion-on-demand. The second of the two unsuccessful candidates ran the risk of an ectopic pregnancy, in which the fetus develops outside of the womb. Her case also was rejected because there was no clear medical certainty over the diagnosis of an ectopic pregnancy.
All three women were among an estimated 4,000 Irish women who travel to neighboring Britain for an abortion each year.
The Irish government defended its laws and said Ireland's abortion laws were based on "profound moral values deeply embedded in Irish society."
It argued that the European Court of Human Rights has consistently recognized the traditions of different countries regarding the rights of unborn children. However, it maintained that the women's challenge sought to undermine these principles and align Ireland with countries with more liberal abortion laws.
Government spokesmen were initially unwilling to comment on whether the state would appeal the decision.
Independent Sen. Ronan Mullen called on the government to hold a referendum to overturn the 1992 Supreme Court decision.
"The only reason the ECHR made this judgment is because the Supreme Court made its flawed interpretation of the (Irish) constitution. We now need to have a referendum that will restore the full legal and constitutional protection for the unborn that was undermined by the Supreme Court," Mullen told Catholic News Service.
William Binchy, a constitutional lawyer and legal adviser to the Pro-Life Campaign, told CNS: "The most important (thing) is that the judgment does not require Ireland to introduce legislation authorizing abortion. On the contrary, it fully respects the entitlement of the Irish people to determine legal policy on protecting the lives of unborn children.
"The Irish people must now make a choice. If they were to choose to endorse the Supreme Court decision in X, this would involve legalizing abortion contrary to existing medical practice and the best evidence of medical research. If, on the other hand, the Irish people choose to endorse the current medical practice, they will be ensuring the continuation of Ireland's world-renowned safety record for mothers and babies during pregnancy," Binchy said.
The ruling is set to put the issue of abortion back on the political agenda as the country prepares for a general election early in 2011. Both main parties -- the current governing Fianna Fail party and the main opposition Fine Gael -- have policies opposed to abortion. Only the minority Labor Party supports the introduction of abortion.
The issue has emerged over the years as a lightning rod in Irish politics, with most politicians unwilling to touch the issue. Opinion polls consistently show that the majority of Irish people are opposed to the introduction of laws permitting abortion.
A poll in February of this year, for example, asked respondents: "Are you in favor of or opposed to constitutional protection for the unborn that prohibits abortion but allows the continuation of the existing practice of intervention to save a mother's life in accordance with Irish medical ethics?"
The finding showed that 70 percent supported constitutional protection for the unborn, 13 percent oppose it and 16 percent did not know or had no opinion.

This one is definately one of the greats. U-571 is a good, old-fashioned submarine tale set in WWII. The plot is great and right on line with what actually went on beneath the seas. It had great action scenes and kept you guessing until the end. This ones definately for the guy who likes to watch a movie and be so in-tuned that he is oblivious to everything else. It carried a great cast and was a real crowd pleaser!Read More

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/4/2014 (1190 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Looks like rap collective Wu-Tang Clan is rising above the tension surrounding its forthcoming album, A Better Tomorrow, because the group is set to perform in Winnipeg June 27.
The Burton Cummings Theatre date is one of two Canadian dates scheduled for the summer, so don't say we never get any concerts. Tickets are $86.50 to $145 and go on sale at 1 p.m. on Saturday April 26 at Ticketmaster.
According to Exclaim!, it was recently reported that Raekwon was questioning the direction of A Better Tomorrow, telling producer/rapper RZA that the crew needs "a new (expletive) game plan." A release date for the record has yet to be announced.

Most of the first month of the season is filled with battles against AL Central foes. In fact, the club only has three games outside of the division. These contests will be critical to understanding where Minnesota fits in the divisional pecking order.
Kansas City Royals
Home Series: 4/3, 4/5-4/6: Road Series: 4/28-4/30
The Twins struggled against the Royals last season with a combined 4-15 record. Three of their four wins against Kansas City came at Target Field. Minnesota pitchers allowed 124 runs against the 2015 World Series Champions. Minnesota's 65 runs scored was also their lowest total against any inter-divisional opponent.
Minnesota will see the Royals top three starters (Danny Duffy, Ian Kennedy, and Jason Hammel) in the first series. Ervin Santana gets the Opening Day nod as he posted a 4.55 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP against Kansas City last year. Hector Santiago fared even worse than Santana. He had a 10.93 ERA in three starts. Kyle Gibson faced the Royals three times and had a 6.75 ERA with a 1.85 WHIP.
Chicago White Sox
Road Series: 4/7-4/9: Home Series: 4/14-4/16
Minnesota's first road series of the year will come on the south-side of Chicago. The Twins went 7-12 against the White Sox last year including three road victories. Twins batters were outscored by 12 runs in those games (86 to 98) but that was the team's second highest run total in inter-divisional games.
Chicago went into rebuilding mode this off-season by trading away Chris Sale and Adam Eaton for a boat full of prospects. Lucas Giolito and Yoan Moncada will be names to watch in the years to come. For now, the Twins will have to hope their young core can find a way to win against one of the team's biggest rivals.
Detroit Tigers
Road Series: 4/11-4/13: Home Series: 4/21-4/23
The Tigers held Minnesota a 4-15 record during the 2016 campaign. All four of Minnesota's wins came in Detroit so the Twins will need to find a way to beat the Tigers at Target Field. Detroit scored 107-runs against Twins pitchers and Minnesota only saw 69 runs scored. Six of the team's first 22 games come against Detroit so the Twins will need to solve Detroit's curse in a hurry.
Detroit saw a rebound year in 2016 from many players in their core. Miguel Cabrera, Ian Kinsler, and Justin Verlander all looked like they were back to their old tricks. They finished in second place in the division and they have a chance to make a big step forward this year. It probably won't be enough to catch Cleveland but weirder things have happened in the baseball world.
Cleveland Indians
Home Series: 4/17-4/20
The defending AL Champions are the only divisional team the Twins play once in the season's first month. However, it is their longest series of the month (four games) and it does come at Target Field. Even with Cleveland running through the Central last season, Minnesota posted a 9-10 record against the Tribe while matching them in runs scored.
Cleveland rode tremendous pitching to being within a game of winning the World Series. This could result in a couple different directions for the coming season. The team could have a chip on their should and ride this momentum back to baseball's highest level. On the other hand, the team might not be able to overcome their October collapse and end up not living up to this year's lofty expectations.
Texas Rangers
Road Series: 4/24-4/26
Minnesota played two series against Texas in 2016 and won both of them. They finished with a 5-2 record and their .714 winning percentage, their highest total against any team. The Twins averaged almost nine runs per game while allowing less than 4.5 runs per game. Minnesota had their two highest run producing games (17 and 15 runs) against Texas.
Even though the Rangers struggled against Minnesota, the club won 95 games and finished in first place in the AL West. Texas did this while struggling in multiple areas of the game. Only the Twins and Athletic allowed more runs. It seems likely for the Rangers to regress in 2017 and the Twins will need to take advantage this fall back to the back.
Minnesota finished 7-17 during last April. How will the club fare in the season's first month? Leave a COMMENT and start the discussion.

In all honesty, I was expecting to feel inspired by whatever Darren had to say, because he's an inspiring speaker, but knowing that it was just a 2-hour event for bloggers of all kinds and stages, I didn't expect to actually learn a lot. But I did! I have pages and pages of notes, and while most of it I "know" (and quite a lot of it I have even told my students and clients in the past), I don't actually always DO it. (Which is a point Darren himself made in his talk.) I think that my new emphasis on my own travel blog and my plans to monetise it probably had me sitting there with a completely different perspective to usual and I really did learn a bunch of things that I want to share - both as a reminder to me and for those poor pals of mine who couldn't make it today.
|Darren Rowse aka Problogger speaking at the Perth Problogger Event
- Your blog won't become big overnight - it's about lots and lots (AND LOTS) of small, consistent actions over a long time. (A tweet here, a Facebook update there, a connection here, and of course, a post there ...)
- Whatever your goal is for your blog (income generation, world domination, whatever), take it seriously and take the next step towards your goal (right now).
- Take time to properly identify who your readers are. Darren suggested creating profiles/avatars of your typical readers and I can see how this would really shape the content you write and, well, pretty much everything you do with your blog. It made me realise (big whack in the head moment) that I actually have very little idea about the audience for Not A Ballerina and it's intensely obvious that I should figure this out.
- Darren talked about how a blog post should either inform, inspire or encourage interaction. Some might do more than one but I can see the value of focusing on just one at a time. And your particular blog might have a bias towards one of these. But he spoke about how they do this on Digital Photography School and on Problogger - eg a post early in the week which is a "how to" about a topic, a mid-week post showcasing an inspirational version of that "how to" (an interview; some amazing photos; whatever) and then a late-week post encouraging the readers to get involved - setting them a challenge, encouraging a discussion or debate, or something.
- As usual Darren talked about what I call the soft side of blogging - the human side, perhaps - stuff like figuring out what really gives you energy about your blog and doing more of that. So important, I think.
- And finally, another point about the readers - focus on the readers you already have, aim to have a big impact on them, and (basically) getting new readers will arise from a lot of those efforts anyway. A lot of bloggers are focused simply on getting more readers. Don't be. Excellent advice.
|Bloggy friends at PBevent
So, those are the big tips I got from this afternoon's talk - but of course the talk wasn't the only important part of the event. We all carried on to the sundowner part of the event and I got to talk to many of the almost a hundred bloggers who'd showed up. There was a big bunch of my former students (I confess, when I arrived I got slightly nervous that I had basically bullied about 20 or so people into coming to the event, I really hoped they liked it - thankfully, they did, of course), a bunch of people I knew from Twitter, and even a famous-to-me travel blogger who's just moved to Perth (hello Chris!) yet I hadn't caught up on that news! I think only fellow bloggers will really understand that there's nothing quite like being in a room full of people who actually know what a blog is. I enjoy myself thoroughly every time.
And so - a huge thank you to Darren Rowse for making the trek over here - as Kelly mentioned in her introduction, we are so lucky (and proud) that one of the biggest bloggers on the world stage is just a normal Aussie bloke from Melbourne. She also made the point that she thinks it's because of Darren that the blogging community in Australia is so friendly and cooperative, and I agree. Here's to many more years of blogging and Problogger events!
