Melbourne Meetup

April 11, 2006 2:12 AM

Melbourne Easter Meetup! Victorians, not doing anything this weekend? Why not meet some people who share your love for the blue, brown, green and red + white?

Suggested time: Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday.
Suggested place: Somewhere central that is not impossible to find.

I am in town until the end of May, but don't let that put you off!

If we can't do a meetup this Easter break I will try to get one sorted with a bit more notice.

As I am not local I am not going to suggest a location (other than Cookie for the expensive foreign beer drinkers, but I think it is a bit loud for the conversation) and leave that to someone with more of a clue.

As you may have guessed I am free all weekend, so have no preference as to the time.

In other news I will be attending Honkytonks (no link to website as it is a)Flash and b)not updated with April listings) this Thursday 13th April for the musical enjoyment of Melbourne's premier deep funk band The Bamboos, supported by DJ Kano and some others.

Sounds cool! Sunday's out for me but aside from that I'm pretty flexible. I vote for somewhere on Brunswick St.

OK, I will consult with the oracle as to a good location on Brunswick St for Saturday night unless anyone has any objections.

Aaarh! Saturday is now out for me too ... can we do Monday...? (or Friday but things will be closed, no?)

Ok. I shall rise to this challenge.

I suggest The Bricklayers Arms on Gertrude, whom I shall ring to check availability on Fri and Mon evenings.

Bricklayers Arms it is! They are open until 11pm on Friday.
211 Gertrude St, Fitzroy.

OK Melbourne?

Hope you can make it nomis. I will email Bdave as well.

Cameras, napkins and pens optional.
