It was possibly something more encompassing than a reindeer hissy fit. </div><div><br></div><div>Fortunately, we had the perfect artists, Gabadoo & the Strides to play us into unbridled dance mode. For free.</div><div>Equally, fortunately (perfectly?), we had World Central Kitchen serving their exquisite survival cuisine enjoyed by thousands locally over roughly the same time frame, feeding everyone attending - for free.</div><div><font size="1">The writer notes that at this point the word, "for" has been used three times, and assures his audience that a fourth appearance is unlikely.</font></div><div><font size="1"><br></font></div><div>And the Hall Delivered!</div><div>We laughed, we talked, we danced </div><div>and </div><div>felt normal, relieved, lighter.</div><div>On behalf of the Hall: thanks to Gabadoo, the Strides, Phil, Grace, Rosie, the marquee guy, Bermagui Beach Hotel and obviously Sam, Elsa and the World Central Kitchen crew but especially to you who attended to create a magic 'normal'.</div><div><br></div><div><div><div id="gmail-m_-853490387640715625m_-6908557444764232846gmail-q_50"><div></div></div></div><div><div>For you who didn't - we were thinking of you.
