Sat, 17 Oct 2009 07:20:51 +0000 http://www.brisbanetobogota.com/?p=85#comment-10 I too saw some of the PARKing day sites and whilst I agree with and actually really like concept, I also felt too many people were jumping on the band wagon... trying to green wash us and hijack us with 'stuff' in what should be a quite moment in a busy world. What seemed like a pleasant welcome, 'Hey guys, come and have seat', is suddenly a whole less friendly when you notice a for sale sticker on the chair and a pile of business cards next to a flower pot. So that my little whinge, overall though a good concept and one which I hope will hold strong against bastardization! ps. good luck with the blog I think I could be your first commenter.
