What a meet! Admittedly I’ve been pretty slack with putting the energy in to specifically invite special people and special cars to previous ZEN EOMM’s. Why? Well because I’ve never had to, and IMHO never needed to. The very concept of EOMM was to get like minded enthusiasts offline to meet in real life and put the avatars to the names. It was never meant to be a car show and I loved it that a kid with a beater could freely park up right next to a 1000HP GT-R.
Last month’s meet was massive. At some stage I had a few people urge me to go outside to see JDM cars blocking up the streets for 3 blocks! This instantly reminded me of the days when cops would turn up to shut our meets down. Good times! I met so many new faces on the night, so many people who let me know that they were 12, or 15 when they first heard of JDMST, ZEN or EOMM’s. What’s even more heart warming was people telling me that they were a little nervous to come along, but they had been meeting and chatting to strangers all night.
Elation.
I was soaking up the vibe all night. I was on such a huge high I feel like I’ve been coming down the past few days.
Much thanks to all who came to hang out. Thanks for thanking us for getting the community together, but it’s you guys and gals who are the community. Thanks to Reggie for feeding us and to Philter for the beers. Be sure to look out for our next ZEN EOMM, it’s going to be the biggest one yet as it’s our last meet at our Marrickville space (more news on that, soon!).
