The stats from MacFest '08 day 1...

A short breakdown on the people with stalls:

• Christian groups (primarily prosperity-preaching evangelicals): 40%
• Nationality-based groups: 30% (There are some overlaps, such as the Chinese Catholic Students Association, but these stats were never going to be terribly precise)
• Other religious groups: 2% (I think I saw the jewish students group somewhere)
• Charitable groups (eg. Amnesty, Cancer Council, Macquarie students who want to help the starving children in Africa (yeah, they didn't have an acronym)): 10%
• Clubs based on choice of major (eg. economics students association): 10%
• Actual clubs for hobbies or social activities (eg. role-playing society, dramac): 8%

I feel old and unwelcome. Even the clubs I used to have membership of don't seem to be there anymore. Now if only our corporate overlords had shown up, there might have been some free food to scab. But I'm assured they'll be there tomorrow, so there may yet be ramen for Catherine.
