A Tall People's Convention at Lil' Creatures, Perth

G'day tall folk and fellow travellers,

Well it's been a while, I'm dusting down my extra-long virtual pen, after an inspirational meeting of the vertically-blessed on the weekend.
I was invited via Facebook and Kate O'Sullivan to a meeting of the Perth Tall Women's Club, and men from the Tall Men's Club, at a soiree at Little Creatures in Freo.
It was indeed an appropriate venue for such a rendez-vous, as the cavernous site encompassing brewing apparatus and extra high ceilings married nicely to our desire for head room aplenty.
About 25 of us met and chewed the fat, with Qantas's recent plans to add a surcharge to the emergency exit row seats a hot topic of conversation.
Trevor, the founder of the Tall Men's Club of Perth, told me he had generated some publicity highlighting the discriminatory nature of this pathetically small-minded move by our native airline, and good on him for fighting the good fight.
Yummy Lil' Critters beers, wine and tucker were purchased and much fun was had by all, hopefully those who received the offer of TPLF membership will take it up and join the posse of extraordinary large shoe sizes...
So if I met you on the night and you're reading this, email the TPLF at tallplf@gmail.com. Remember, all you need is to be 5'9" for a woman, or 6'4" for a man and NOT play basketball to join.
As presiding officer of the TPLF I predict this will be the first of many fun times to be had amongst les gens grands de Perth into the future...keep your eyes peeled for more events in the future!
