What's the problem, anyway?

Canberra sucks. Apparently. Like, it's soooooo booooring. And has roundabouts.

And roundabouts suck. Obviously.

Well, James and I think all the 'haters' are just doing it wrong. We think, if you're not having fun, you're either doing the bad things or not doing the good things. Or both, which is just embarrassing for you. We do a lot of things in and around Canberra, and we are starting to get a reasonably good handle on what the Good Things are. We are accumulating a trove of knowledge (that's right, a trove) about which places make the best Chai Latte, which ones will actually give you a HOT coffee if you request one thus, which bike paths have the least potholes for your eco-transport pleasure and which cinemas have two sources of surround sound--the one from the movie you are actually watching and the one from the session next door.

Some people are movie buffs. Some are cuisine connoisseurs. Some are art gallery aesthetes.
We are bon vivants of busy, buffs of stuff. We hit up Canberra hard for our amusement and avocation. We do so many things every week we are just about bound do do something you would like to do. And when we have done it, we would like to tell you about our experiences. That means, if you have a hankering to eat out, go clubbing, do some exercise, see a flick, check out some 'culture', go to a gig, indulge in a coffee, hit up some tourist traps or do some blockies in your fully sick car, you can get the good word on how to do it right. In our opinion anyway.

And if you just have that feeling, deep inside, that you should suck it up and shake off the mantle of Canberra Despair, stop wallowing in the doldrums, resist the peer pressure and actually try to enjoy the Bush Capital (despite its various tragic monikers), well, we can help. We can give you a good idea for something to do. And some advice on how not to do it wrong.
