La La Land

Thursday night the "early career scientists" of CSIRO met up at La La Land in Pran. All new staff in Atmospheric Research have been on the young side (relatively), and at this point, there are about 10 of us and more are arriving every month, creating a new cadre of colleagues. Thursday night marked our first collective outing. La Land was the rallying point, where we spent an hour or two before trying to track down a restaurant in the neighborhood that could seat all of us. We did a few laps up and down Chapel Street before negotiating space in a place called Tusk. A good time was had by all (although the waitress forgot Ian's order, a mistake that was eventually corrected with Ian receiving a free beer), and we managed to go through the evening without discussing science or climate and "modeling" only came up once (but only as a pun).
