Australian RB Meet-up 2008

[Labyrinth]

Okay ladies, gentlemen and small furry beings.

What originally started as an idea tossed up between myself and a few others has grown exponentially, so I figured I may as well call this for what it looks to be, an Australian RB meet-up.

At the moment, the planned dates for it are the 5th of July to the 10th of July, or longer if people want to stick around. The location for the first meeting, ie, on the 5th, is the Newtown region of Sydney. Various social activities will ensue.

Accommodation around the Newtown area is relatively cheap if one looks. There is one place in particular, Billabong Resort (Contact details unknown, if someone could get them, it would be great.) Which has 6-bunk rooms available from $125 or so a night, alcohol permitted.

I might not have all the answers, but I should have several.

Dear God, so it begins.

[Labyrinth]

Yeah, something like that. Buy plane tickets, motherfucker.

Ugh, even being in Australia.. that's going to take a lot of money to get there. Time to saaave.

[Labyrinth]

If it's too much, it might be better for you to save up and organise one nearer to yourself.

Something to think about, just my 2 cents... don't forget that Australia is a continent not just a country, that is like saying North American Gathering.

break up the meetings into sections of the country... IE Queensland or New South Wales... that way it is easier to manage and then prehaps rotate it so everyone has a chance to go.

For the US I alternate between both coasts and so far a couple of different cities.

[Labyrinth]

True enough, but it's also the point of I want to get as many as I can to turn up to this. It's more an East Coast thing, because Perth > Sydney airfares are a bitch. Add to that the fact that the majority of us live on this side.

Actually there aren't that many of us RBer's in Aussieland.....as far as I know there's only three of us in Melbourne...and a handful in NSW and a couple in Queensland....so starting small may be the way to go....then next year we save up and go overseas. >.>

[Labyrinth]

Yeah. Right. Just after we buy the Wacken tickets and a private jet.

[Rayne-Tahlya]

Exactly.....

[Labyrinth]

Heh. Let me know how that lottery goes deary.

[Rayne-Tahlya]

>.> Lottery?

What lottery?

*hides the balaclava and shotgun*

[Labyrinth]

Mmmmhmmm. I can't have you going to prison now. Just think, I'd be destitute!
