Meet a Moderator, Melbourne, Thursday 5th August

[QF WP]

As I'll be a week early for the usual Melbourne drinks, thought I would start another thread for those interested in a drinks and/or dinner on Thursday 6th August.

I'll have arrived in MEL on Wed, 4th August but staying at the MEL Airport Hillton as I get in at 9.30pm and have to get to Essendon Airport to see a client (who works there) at 9.30am on Thursday morning - so hiring a car from the airport. I'm then working my way into Northcote and then the CBD for futher meetings, culminating in my last meeting (presently) at 3pm which will take a couple of hours.

Now, I'll be staying at the Hilton South Wharf (need the extra exercise for the Global Corporate Challenge ), so will be at a loose end after my busy day. Sitting in a hotel room isn't very exciting (but I suppose the canapes and drinks @ Exec Lounge might be interesting).

I'm open to where we meet but would suggest 6pm or later. Who's in?

Aw, man! You had to time it like this, didn't you? Just kidding, I know you're timing around what your clients can accommodate, so I shouldn't complain.

As much as I wouldn't mind going to MEL two weeks in a row, I can't afford it (well, points could pay for the lot, but that's a lot of points that I don't feel like burning right now).

So sorry, LW, no dice. But I'll see you in BNE time and time again, right?

[straitman]

We'll be in Melbourne on the 3rd LW but I cannot see a return trip happening on the 5th.

 

[oz_mark]

I'll keep it in mind.

I'm in the midst of a go-live for a project that I've spent 4 years on. All going well, it will be live next week, and I should be able to have a drink or two.

 

[bossreggie]

I'll be up for a small drink or 2!

I won't get into the city until 7ish though.

Given that there is an Amex promotion on, perhaps we could drink & dine at one of the listed Melbourne establishments (hopefully a couple of us have registered and can make use of it).

Any ideas ? Hey QF009, what about +1 ?

Other Amex offers here (I wonder if there are any on both lists?)

 

[Keith009]

Will ask the OH and get back to you.

My availability looks like being 6pm, as my last appointment is 3pm and I just need to check-in at South Wharf Hilton.

Any ideas about dinner?

Sorry, can't make it, now I'm not an unemployed bum anymore, and having spent the first 3 days of my new employment at a conference on the gold coast, I think its wise to stay at home Thursday.

Don't let this merry band of ruffians lead you astray Lindsay Have a good night all and see you Saturday 2 weks for dinner!

[QF WP]

Totally understand munitalP. Great news on the job front!

So which of the others locals is going to suggest somewhere to meet?
