				<content:encoded><![CDATA[It was my first time at the council chambers for the Town Council meeting on April 9th, 2013. I have to admit that it was a totally different experience<span id="more-10376"></span> in comparison if I were to watch this meeting on the Internet. Not to mention so many familiar faces there.</br></br>

<div id="attachment_10379" style="width: 610px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img src="/uploads/IMG_6125_CouncilMeeting.jpg" alt="" title="IMG_6125_CouncilMeeting" width="600" height="420" class="size-full wp-image-10379" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Council Meeting, Town Hall, April 09, 2013</p></div></br>

I did bring my photo gear to capture the council meeting moments. The beginning music from Tom Taylor&#8217;s public forum presentation was an interesting spice, however, I can&#8217;t say that the rest of the meeting was exciting. I left after one hour.</br></br>

A while ago my friend <a href="http://wattstrending.wordpress.com/2013/03/31/aurora-blogs-and-community-forums-2013-review/" target="_blank">Chris Watts</a> did a review of blogs/media in Aurora and that gave me an encouragement &#8211; and boy I really needed to get out after reading his post. I looked back how little I have done, how much I have neglected, however, my camera never stopped clicking.</br></br>

But then when you look at the window NOW and see the winter blast back &#8211; I am back to my writing board again. So much for taking my camera for a walk. I don&#8217;t necessarily enjoy cold and so does my camera.</br></br>

I am also happy to write that there will be couple of new blogs coming out soon and hopefully we can get blogging rolling in Aurora once again.</br></br>

To conclude, I think I will leave out my feedback and criticism on the council meeting for the community FOCUS site, and in the meantime enjoy few of my photos. This was my first attendance, but not the last.
