Knowing absolutely nothing about the city in question, I was nonetheless certain that somebody was going to pop up here to make that exact insightful comment.
It's no San Fran that's for sure, but this city has a thriving arts scene. It get's a bad rap because the art scene isn't profitable enough to have marketing budgets but we get by. We take risks and we have a grand old time doing it.
We have a really welcoming scene as long as you try and as long as you're willing to get over the fact that it's the people who get branded 'hipsters' that are the ones actually making the art scene happen.
You might remember Rosie who performed with This Can't End Well in DNA Lounge late last year, she wrote a rebuttal, The Canberra Obsession, to a nationally circulated Canberra bashing editorial. Her post gives a pretty good overview of what is actually happening here.
This is actually quite beautiful.
Ahh, Canberra...

HINDENBOOB!!
I don't really see "whale". More like turtle-turkey.
Yeah, but #skyturtleturkey is way too long for a hashtag. I kinda like the alliterative quality though.
(.. and thanks for pgm btw, still using it every day)
An abundance of useless tits filled with hot air. Perfect symbol for Canberra, really.
