Melbourne: Bluey's Birthday (aka, Sydney: Excursion of Mexico).

[thingy]

2:45pm, Friday the 6th of February 2004AD. A plane is landing at Melbourne airport. Well, hopefully it is landing and not crashing, because it shall contain two VIP guests. Those guests being Shez and me. In case it does crash, we also have a backup plan as Rickbish shall also be arriving at roughly the same time, except via motorbike so you'll have to sabotage the roads as well if you want to stop us all! Mooooohahahahahhhaaha!

Shez & I are staying until 1:15pm, Tuesday the 10th of February 2004AD, and Rickbish is staying until later in the week (unconfirmed yet). The plan is forming.

Friday, 6th of February 2004AD.
03:30pm - 05:00pm
What: Shez & Thingy's grand entrance.
Where: City, somewhere. We'll just be bumming around.
Who: Anyone who's available, so gimme a call to see where we are and meet up.
Why: So we don't start our visit off by being bored.
05:00pm - Late
What: Bluey's Birthday (aka, Sydney: Excursion of Mexico).
Where: Y&J's. (Across the road from Flinders St STation.)
Who: Everyone, especially those who don't usually attend ZMeets!

Saturday, 7th of February 2004AD.
What: Secret Stone Cutters Business.

Sunday, 8th of February 2004AD.
02:00pm - 05:00pm
What: Yogi-Bear style Picianic & Barbimaque.
Where: Batman Park / St Kilda Beach / elsewhere. I need opinions of these places and/or suggestions people!
Who: Everyone, ESPECIALLY those who snobbed off the other things due to not being drinkers.
Why: Because the wonderfully amasing Sambellina can't make it to anything prior to this date/time!
06:00pm - 09:00pm
What: Beer & Boweling.
Where: Dunno. Somewhere that does both.
Who: Those who still have energy / money left over.

Monday, 9th of February 2004AD (Blueboy's actual birthday).
XX:XXam/pm - XX:xxam/pm
What: Shopping.
Where: City.
Who: Whoever calls me up to meet up with Shez & me. We'll be there anyway.

[Shez]

is that another event? if so, i want pics!

:D

[Tintin]

Since my sources indicate you are probably not an Internet Rapist(TM) I am probably able to attend some of Friday evening, Saturday evening and/or Sunday. Batman Park can be pleasant, if somewhat nondescript. I am completely over Y&J's; the women are uber trashy. Luckily ZGeek provides a (limited) byo facility on that front. Plus the Y&J's bouncers don't let you upstairs to see the famous pr0n. This is something ZGeek needs to work on. So yeah.

Since when?
I don't go up there because I'm not exactly Mr. Balance after 10 pints. :p

[pleed]

Balance is over rated.
I will be there, I like Y&J's and I always stop to see the famous pr0n.

[Tintin]

Here is a list of Melb ZGeeks I am nominating for attendance at the Sunday omgbbq:

Tintin
Sperm
Sutter

Snowball
Sambellina
Holster
zombie (where ru dude)
tehgovzog
Felix
Mattryx

[durus]

[Snowball]

If the women there are utter trash, try Gray street in StKilda they might be more your style.

I actually find they're quite good there, struggling university types.

Maybe he'd prefer the carpark at the back of Acland St? :D

Yeah a bit of man love in a dress will set him straight.

[Colonel Kurtz]

Ask for Trixy

[Sutter]

I'm soooooooo there

[Tintin]

Actual quote from my parents:Stand on the corner of Gray St. and Fitzroy St. and we'll come by and pick you up in the car.

Either your parents didn't love you at all, or they loved you in that weird Tasmanian back country way.

Either option is disturbing

[thingy]

Can we try and get this back on track, guys?

[Colonel Kurtz]

For melbourne this is on track...we're a lot more laid back than you snobby sydney-siders :D

Beers & BBQa and Geeks I haven't met. I'm in, and maybe the General too

[Shez]

DJos said he is highly likely to attend friday nights events and he said he will play the rest by ear hehe :D

[BlueBoy]

Haven't seen the old boy for ages! :D

[Mattryx]

I'm pretty sure I'm doing night shift about then so that will probably rule me out, and before anyone asks I'm not popping in to say hello while I'm working so all the zGirls can leer at me in my uniform. I'd rather them leer at me when I'm Joe Casual. ;)

And I'd rather swallow razor blades then perve on cops. But thanks for the generalisation.

[Mattryx]

I have a CFA uniform if that makes you feel better. :p

[Sambellina]

No

[durus]

On the one hand I wish you hadn't chosen bowling.
On the other hand it's your life on the line not mine.
So count me in.

[DJos]

Yeah Im fekkin slack arse. :p

Anyhoo Im gonna show up Friday night and as Shezzy said play it by ear for Sunday. If I dont work on the sat then I'll be very likely to come on Sunday.

[pleed]

Anyway, a new bowling alley has opened in the city. It's called STRIKE CITY and it's 245-247 Little Lonsdale St. So it's not far away.
According to the '2 for 1 bowling' card I have, it has a Bowling Bar, Food, Pool (I assume 8 ball, not swimming), DJ and Karoke.

so I will leave you with these words,
Bowling is back in the city, STRIKE STYLE

[BlueBoy]

Can you get anymore cards?

[pleed]

nay, I cannae get any mooer cards.
They were giving them out at the station one morning last week, all I could get were 2.

[pleed]

your trip down also coincides with the Melbourne Blues Festival which runs on the Saturday and Sunday along the shore of the yarra. It should be fun.

It's not the most inconspicuous of bags!

at first i read that as "so i have no money and no idea either"

much more fitting i think.

[Tintin]

I am prepared to attend the Batman Park Barbiaque and Piqnique but u are not getting me in the casino, even the 'non-gambling' parts. I will do Melbourne Blue's Festival and Strike Bowling near Melbourne Central. It is quite a pleasant alley and is a good environment for geek bondage. chut up.

[sperm]

Ive just got back from 3 weeks out of town (for those that give a fuck), so its lucky i stumbed into this thread before I missed anything.

As usual, I cant give any guarantees, but I'll keep the sunday event time/place in mind, and if i can escape from the dungeon keeper I'll try to slip on by.

If nothing else, this vague post will keep me in touch with this event chatter. :D

[pleed]

Also, the St. Kilda festival is on all weekend, and sunday and monday there is a good health Food, cheese and wine festival at Flemington race course. Free entry.

[BlueBoy]

I did the St Kilda Festival last year. I can't get free drinks anymore so I'm not going this year. :p

[Misao]

No St Kilda festy? but that is the best!
I wonder what bands are playing this year...

ooo wait, found it ...
http://www.stkildafestival.com.au/festivalday/livemusic/Holden_beachconcert.htm

this year the headliner appears to be regurgitator!
oo oo oo ooo oo must go must go :D

[Sutter]

Thumbs up for the St Kilda Festival!!!!!!
Gurge!
Gurge!
Gurge!

[BlueBoy]

They're renaming Fitzroy Street to Nudie Street?
Man, it used to be about the music! :mad:

Man, I was so eager to go to this thing until I realised that was nothing more than a street name, and had no symbolism of what went on there. :( Fuck it, we go do other things. :p

[Sutter]

Man, I was so eager to go to this thing until I realised that was nothing more than a street name,

We could all change that..........;)

[Misao]

Can I grab the mobile number of anyone that is going tonight? (Note, if i already have your phoen number, then now I don't cause I have no phone :( )

[Tintin]

Sorry I'm not there guys, headache & eyestrain that only 4 hrs in a darkened room with a microscope can give you. I will be at the Sunday bbque. :D

[DJos]

Slacker, The frase "a good time was had by all" comes to mind. :D

*staggers off to bed*

Pleedy has some free tix. (I would personally prefer this venue to the casino; I would whore my ass before going in the casino*). There is also a travel expo on nearby, at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre, which might also be of interest. Free entry!


* No, I am not whoring my ass, comments made earlier in this thread notwithstanding.

[BlueBoy]

I don't think the boweling exists in the casino anymore. When we wandered through the casino t seemd like it was relpaced by laser tag. (A good idea, but not with $400 glasses. :p)

[Shez]

mmm BBQ i wish it was now im so so hungry :(

Who's actually coming today? everyone? is there gonna be new people for me to meat? YAY

[Sutter]

is there gonna be new people for me to meat?

I'll keep the Lounge Room floor in pristine condition until then. :p

[thingy]

I too had a most kickass time down there as always (I may be from sydney, but I can't get enough of the place). You all rock, a hundred and three point four thankyous to everyone for everything, and maxo apologies for my inability to speak on Sunday - that's what happens when you drink 4 beers, almost an entire bottle of bourbon, a few girlie drinks, and I'm sure I remember a few other things hitting my lips ... kinda.

Same as Shez, see you all in July for Sammi's birthday!!! :D

[sagit]

as mentioned elsewhere i may be able to attend such an auspicious occasion also (with a "followup visit" in september :p)
