Whenever someone has a great idea to do something big and exciting, my first reaction, sadly, is to tense up.
Let's have a stall, let's give away free soup, let's hold a market.
Always great ideas. But what kills me is the forms.
We're planning to give away free soup in the centre of the city, in a park called Franklin Square, where emos, skaters, businessmen and bogans all hang out. It's an awesome idea.
But now I have to fill out:
- Temporary food outlet form,
- Place of assembly license form,
- Temporary structure form,
- Park or reserve booking application,
- Temporary occupancy permit.
