MEL dinner & drinks - Wednesday 29 MAY 2013 (boxo do #1)

[blackcat20]

Alas, I cannot attend this but I'll try to be at the 05/06 one!

Same for me now.

 

[czar]

I would like to attend this event.

 

[AIRwin]

I'll be coming around 6.30pm after my gym session nearby and bringing along... an appetite!

 

[simongr]

Possible from me - I am in MEL - at HOTP. 6Pm start would eat into my lounge time though...

 

[serfty]

It's likely dinner would come somewhat after 6 ... more likley after 7 ... FWIW, the venue is a 10 minute walk through the Fitzroy Gardens from the HOTP.

 

[straitman]

It's looking more and more likely that I/we won't be able to attend either event. :sad:

 

[jetlagger]

I'm back in MEL 6 days too early.. :-(

 

[coolumbla]

damn im there on teh thursday both weeks!

 

[JessicaTam]

I am now a definite for the 29th. I have posted accordingly on FT as well.

 

[dfcatch]

I'm 50/50 - depends on last minute social agenda

If I'm there I'll probably be a late walkin - so will have it programmed in the phone so I can find it at the last minute if necessary

I'll be there on the 29th as well.

I will be coming from an offsite location, so I will be "late" also.

 

[simongr]

Google maps has it as a 25 min walk... I am still tentative - and probably dependent on the weather.

About 2K's - certainly more than 10 minutes but not 25 - although there's a fair bit uphill.

Logistics for tonight:
I have booked a table at 6:30pm at Trunk under my name. It is in the "mail hall" (inside the building).

For those in the city, I suspect the first few starters will arrive around 6pm. The table would probably be ready then, either way there is an adequately stocked bar to keep you folks occupied.

I will do my best to arrive by 6:30pm. As I mentioned earlier I am travelling from an "offsite" location, so will drive home, park my car and catch the train in.

I have PMed my cellphone number to everyone listed as attending. See you all tonight

 

[Bundy Bear]

Looking forward to tonight, I hope my plane is on time, I probably won't be drinking as I am still recovering from my cold.

I hope Simongr can make it one person I would like to meet in person, looks like a good roll up.

 

[Hvr]

My train is due at Parliament station at 6.25pm. Looking forward to seeing you all tonight.

Do you really trust Metro that much?

 

[Hvr]

Well at least you know I'm on my way.

By leaving home after 6.00pm I only pay the two hour fare rather than the whole day fare so there is a reason for choosing this trip.
