We did it gang. You all 100% brought the love to WhamBam 3.

To open we all went on the trip of a lifetime with Raoul, finding his inner man , who was able to hold the inner child of his father.

Then we take a journey to Confest with Marc as he attempts to scurry naked into the river only to stub his big toe so badly it requires urgent medical attention from a well endowed doctor, whose bed side manner is gently complemented by the gentle swing of his genitals.

To be followed up by me, telling a forgotten tale of losing my most treasured audio cassette to the kind-hearted Israeli highway patrol

Which brought on Hannah's diary reading of the beautifully awkward beginnings of how we all probably started having first relationships.

Then Mykel who inspired us to get out of our comfort zones ,,did the perfect seg way to being that person in the crowd, who truly wants to break the awkward silence when 100 people are squeezed into an 80 person train carriage, and is silently egged on by a barely visible stranger who silently mouth's the words "keep going..."

For us all to finish the night travelling with Simon and his family on Fraser island as he negotiated serious four-wheel drive terrain in a not so serious four-wheel drive.

With the introduction of a timekeeper role that was imbued with hint of persecution, Shawn did an incredible job of keeping us all on track, especially me.

A huge thanks to the story tellers of the night. They now join a ever growing cohort of brave and proud WhamBam alumni .

El and I want to deeply thank all of you for making WhamBam 3 a huge success, but also for leaning into the idea and being willing to join us this year for what we both feel is a pretty awesome way to have a party.

There will be more, we don't know when. But please, please come back and join the ever-growing team of people who get up, lean into the uncomfortable yet simply beautiful six minutes of truly being seen.

With huge love to you all

El and Ford
