Just got home after the (painful) Storm game and I am shocked by how few people are down at the Firelight Festival. Was expecting to look out from my balcony and see swarms of people but there just isn't that many down there.

Yeah, I've got no idea what the Firelight Festival is.

https://firelight.melbourne.vic.gov.au/ winter festival in Docklands each year. Last year was absolutely bonkers crowded. Fires. Lasers. Music. Performers. Food/drink. Usually mulled wine apparently, not my thing.

Huh, that's very cool. Though I fear I'll hate it. I remember being drunk as a skunk in Crown and having a panic attack every time the flames would go off.
