It’s time for a birthday party!
It was 2 years ago today that Goonanism was born.
Please join in with me:
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Goonanism
Happy birthday to you
It started off as a blog to track the development of my thesis, now it’s a full blown website with its own hosting and all.
I’ve finished my masters and launched the Australian Centre for Democracy and Justice.
‘Tis a wonderful thing and, 510 posts later, a time for reflection on the fate of this blog. Rest assured it’s not going anywhere. It will become a travel blog sooner rather than later I hope (I’m thinking late June).
So thanks for popping by over the years. Please stay for cheese and wine (Dinny Goonan Family Estate of course).

Congratulations! I hope that you have a cake or some sparkling wine or something equally celebratory.

Thanks Cristy, I might just do that.

“…and many more!”

Are Dinny and Susan your parents? If so, what a lucky little duck you are. And if you’re leaving late June please remember I am in the Asian vicinity……

I’ll be in Thailand in October for the World Social Forum. Why don’t you pop by and we can dance the night away.

Way to Go! I am looking forward to meeting you when you arrive in London! Then we can all celebrate all the wonderful things happening in our lives together! Wahoo!
REPLY))
Well I’m looking forward to meeting this person that I feel as if I know but have never met.

you didnt answer if they are yr Parents?
And the world social forum…isnt that in south america? or am I thinking of something else?
It would be fun fun if I could. I will have to see when next year’s mid-semester break is…could be October or Sept.

Dinny and Sue are my parents, how did you know that? I get the Dinny part but can’t find where I mentioned Sue.
The WSF is polycentric this year with meetings in Bamako (Mali), Caracas (Venezuela), Karachi (Pakistan) and, because of the earth quakes in Pakistan, a forth one has been announced in Bangkok for October.
Be there, as the world’s activists converge on Thailand.
REPLY))
Because you linked their winery website.
ah der.
I may be able to get enough stamina to go back to Thailand..am there in May/June too…so if anyone else is (anyone, anyone?)…lemme know. but i’ll be doing a 10 day silencio in junio.

Fair point. Now make sure you’re in Thailand in October so we can drink together.
