Looks like you were maintaining your social distance too, good people XD Glad you had a good meetup (inaugural hive meetup or has SA already done that?), hope you both went home in much better spirits (even if they weren't exactly bad to begin with).
Perth has only ever had one meetup, and then some of the others managed to get together with someone that had flown in for an impromptu one. I had fun at the one I went to and from the photos I saw of the other one they looked like they were having fun. There hasn't been any more since as @bmj (who seems to be the best organiser out of the lot of us) and I have child-related activities on pretty much every evening and during the day on the weekends so trying to find a time that worked was nigh on impossible XD Though the others could have easily organised something if they wanted.
There's actually a couple that live near me but I haven't seen them for a while and they haven't posted for a while either.
A lot of people probably want to maintain the illusion of anonymity although no one is truly anonymous in today's society. I guess the illusion of it is all they have to cling to. Maybe that's why there's not many meet-ups around the world.
Adelaide is unique in that it has a regular meet up and it's reasonably well-attended. The virus has put a stop to it however I assume it'll start again as time goes by.
