Again with the 'unlike' button.

I might show up... maybe

I already have a few entries in the diary for this Saturday, but would like to catch up if I can make it work.

 

[TomVexille]

Bad news. Ombra is fully booked for Saturday night.

Anyone have any preferences?

Somewhere similar. Greek or Italian! How about Lonsdale Street? Is Baraki any good?

 

[boomy]

Sarti is a good Italian in the city.

Is Baraki any good?

Is Baraki actually there?

It was a construction site last time I was there... unless it has moved premises?

No idea. I have never been. I was looking at reviews and found it. Website doesn't exist.

Anything else decent in Lonsdale Street?

 

[penegal]

Any updates on venue or numbers?

 

[JohnK]

What is the easiest way to get from Glen Waverley to city? Public transport safe that time of night?

Train - and with the PSO's, PT is generally quite safe these days.

I would say the cheapest way would be on the train, the Glen Waverley line is only about 35 minutes from memory and offers a round trip for the best part of $6.

In regards to safety, I'm pretty sure Glen Waverley line was voted one of the safest a few years back - but travel at any time of night in Melbourne carries the same risks really.

She must be a stunner to get you to camp in Glen Waverley!

The $75/night was the selling point.

You got a stunner for $75 /night? Goddam it contact phone number pls!

 

[boomy]

Back on topic, I think it's time to choose a venue. Saturdays are busy in the CBD and most places require advanced bookings.

 

[tuapekastar]

I expressed interest but a combination of the lurgi I brought back from SIN (has got worse not better) and the need for an early start on the road to Bendigo (lurgi permitting) Sunday morning means I cannot make it.
Sorry for late advice.

LOL! Her name is Ibis. Number is in the book.

$6 is the maximum fare for all day travel for public transport on weekends and public holidays - it would be perhaps less if only travelling one-way but I have not checked.

If you don't already have a myki card, they cost $6 to purchase on top of that.

I need to purchase something I may never use again? Or can I get a refund?

How do companies in Australia continue to get away with daylight robbery?
