Wow - what a great night we had at the Powerhouse on Thursday for the last Brisbane ABCD Meetup for 2009. Twenty-four of us (plus one gorgeous 4 month old), chatted at Bar Alto about all things art, craft and design (Brisbane ABCD stands for Artists, Bloggers, Crafters and Designers). Here are some photos from the evening:
It was great to have spend time with old friends and meet some new ones as well. And the ABCD Goodie bag was KILLER! Check out some of the great items we scored from each other:
