There's no place I can be since I found...

OK, the choice is

a) Go to Phoenix and interact with people and discuss music in SF
or
b) Watch my shiny new Serenity DVD and indulge in the joy that is a Joss commentary

Not contest really. The whedonverse just sucked me in. The thing is, this choice isn't all that unusual and more and more I have been taking the electronic option. I really shouldn't turn into a complete hermit.

But the best Serenity moment of the day wasn't images and sounds on the DVD. It was the moment that I realised that the whole team at work was discussing that it was launched today and that several people went out to buy it and others were lining up their borrowing of it from them. It was the moment when I realised that this was all my doing. I have infected my whole office with the firefly bug (so to speak). That is a very good thing (tm).

Heh. I thought, I'd much rather go to the Phoenix.

And then I thought, hang on, it's probably not the same Phoenix. :)

The Phoenix Science Fiction Society (inc). (http://www.phoenixsf.blogspot.com/)

The Phoenix is a pub? I might have gone for that. Although it is raining quite heavily here - another factor in my decision.

Yeah - it's Canberra's dive-y, Bohemian pub, all smoke and Guinness before it was fashionable. A discussion of music in SF wouldn't have been terribly out of place.

Could take you there at Conflux, but I've already promised [livejournal.com profile] chrisbarnes that I'd take him to the Wig and Pen, which does better beer and is friendlier.

The words "native guide" just flashed into my head. In particular a native guide who knows where the best beer is!
