For Australians and New Zealanders, ANZAC day holds a special place for us all. It is a day that we take as a Nation to honour those Service Men and Women that sacrificed themselves for us. For me, ANZAC day is a time when I honour those memories but it is also a time to look to your friends and share that comradery that the ANZAC's are famous for.
Drop Bears.
The ANZAC Dropbears are an Australian Guild on Medivh where I have quite a few friends. I have never met any of them before but I was given the opportunity to last night.
ANZAC Day BBQ.
Traditionally this is a day where friends and family gather for BBQ. Last night I joined the ANZAC Dropbears for the first time in RL. Now I am sure most of us have certain expectations for meeting people for the first time in RL. I had these myself. I expected I would get there at 7:30 PM and stay for a couple of hours and even enjoy myself somewhat. It didn't quiet go that way. I got home at 5am. It was a great night. We talked and laughed about all sorts of things, from Warcraft to Bigbadbarry's drunken exploits over TS during last years Hallows Eve celebrations. It does appear that unfortunately Shike has a like for some musician called Nick Cave, who up until then I thought his only real achievements where related to his relationship with Kylie Minogue. Even so I had a great night and I look forward to the next BBQ.
Men Without Sheds.
CaptainBeaky, also in attendance last night, has a gig coming up. Check it out, you never know who you might run into.
Finally I would like to leave you with The Ode.

They shall grow not old,
As we that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them,
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun,
And in the morning
We will remember them. Lest we Forget

Great post!
Great ANZAC spirit. It has always been about mates and the Australian way.
Wish I could have been there.
