[Edward Skira]

100 Reasons to be Psyched about 2008 (with credit to Wired New York where I took the idea from). This is a collaborative thread that I'd like for us to keep on topic. I'll start.

1. Bay Adelaide starts popping up on the skyline.

3. Gehry's renovated AGO opens (hopefully).

3. AGO reopens with new pictures to see and old favourites re-hung.

Though I have to say the title of this thread reminds me of the welcome convocation when I was in undergrad when the orientation chairman stood up and said "Are you psssssssssssyched or what" - a line which is referred to mockingly by all present to this very day.
