I've a couple of assignments due that day and as such will probably have been up for the preceeding 72 hours.

It's also just on the start of SWOTVAC.

I'm sure in a parallel universe somewhere I'm a really social guy who enjoys his life a lot.

That's a shame!

For some reason, you all still have that Met You On The Internet glow. This is my excuse for sounding a little too excited when a meetup is being organised.
I am actually totally laid back and stuff. :roll:

Makes sense that people from the Internet would glow, what with the high levels of radiation here ... ?

I hope it wouldn't be too late to add my name to the list?

by **raptor.fortress** » Sat Oct 18, 2008 2:34 pm UTC

JayDee, Here's that long awaited photo my friend Katya snapped of you contemplating a good book.

Haha! Thanks. I will make good use of it.

(Also, now that I saved that huge version you should probably replace it with something that isn't screenbreaking big. Or use spoiler tags.)

I love the combination of your facial expression, the book title, the 'Fine Books' bookmark and the brown paper bag.
Excellent.

And, Metacelsus, there is no list, but if there was you'd be on it!

by **Metacelsus** » Tue Oct 21, 2008 11:54 am UTC

So the plan is just show up sometime after midday/1ish? Trust in our ability to recognise fellow xkcders (I may have a kite, if that helps)?

by **GhostWolfe** » Wed Oct 22, 2008 3:30 am UTC

Ideally, the plan is that enough people would be willing to exchange contact details so that we can all find each other. However, being as the meet-up is 3 days away and I've had less expression of interest than the last meet up, I'm pretty much going to say: forget it, and we'll try again in the new year.

Gee Willikers, swotvac. I haven't heard it called that since I left QLD nearly 6 years ago. Memories!

If there is a meetup in December sometime I'll be back in town. I can tell you tales of the Boston meet-ups.

by **GhostWolfe** » Fri Dec 05, 2008 4:33 am UTC

I am pondering going to the Anti-Net Censorship Protest thingo on Saturday, December 13. If it's anything like the previous one, it'll probably be a bit of a non-event, so I was wondering if anyone wanted to meet up at Brisbane Square, see what the haps are, and head off for a spot of lunch.

Saturday, December 13
11:00 am
Brisbane Square, near the Subway

I'll be on the coast then

Gold Coast?

I'm on holiday there now, granted with my parents but still lol. Staying at Surfer's Century.
You?

by **PS_Mouse** » Mon Dec 15, 2008 10:23 am UTC

Sunshine Coast actually.

by **hermaj** » Thu Jan 08, 2009 9:21 am UTC

I know it's a while away, but I might be in Brisbane for a while in April. When are people on uni breaks or whatever?

by **__jess** » Sun Jan 11, 2009 4:39 am UTC

I have holidays from the 11th to the 19th of April.

by **Metacelsus** » Sun Jan 11, 2009 11:29 am UTC

Yeah I'm off uni for the same period.

by **PS_Mouse** » Thu Jan 15, 2009 4:39 am UTC

Hrm, I'm going to say... yes.

by **hermaj** » Sun Jan 25, 2009 10:40 am UTC

Okay, well I should be up from approximately the 10th to approximately the 26th, so that should fit in well with the breaks given so far. I don't know what my gentleman's plans are but I'm pretty sure there'll be a fair amount of flexibility within that timeframe, most afternoons should be managable.

by **__jess** » Sun Jan 25, 2009 11:03 am UTC

I'm down for that and any other meetups between now-ish and then!

by **schumi_girl** » Sun Jan 25, 2009 11:24 am UTC

*gives in to her fate*

I'll be living in Brisbane in a fortnight.

I'm in.

by **PS_Mouse** » Sun Jan 25, 2009 10:38 pm UTC

So a meetup before we're all stuck in the future with our flying cars?

Yes? I think so.

When works for you peoples?

Feb some time? Perhaps March?

So many questions? I think I'm just arbitrarily? inserting question marks now?

by **schumi_girl** » Sun Jan 25, 2009 10:44 pm UTC

Uni starts on the 23rd of February for me, I know for Jess it's a week later, if that helps.

by **Metacelsus** » Mon Jan 26, 2009 9:34 am UTC

I'm already back at uni so I'm probably limited to weekends or evenings until that week in april. That Game On thing is at the gallery of modern art for while I seem to remember it having some evening functions, is there some sort of an event there that might be worth attending?

by **schumi_girl** » Mon Jan 26, 2009 9:52 am UTC

It looks awesome! Over 100 years of playable game history!

*ok, geek alert, I know*

It goes til the 15th of Feb.

We're not having any geeks here, what kind of place do you think this is?

by **raptor.fortress** » Mon Jan 26, 2009 11:30 am UTC

oh Uni. Is it that time already? I suppose I should enroll again.

Game on does sound pretty cool, I can't miss out on that little gem.

by **__jess** » Mon Jan 26, 2009 11:43 am UTC

Yes.
YES.
We simply must.
Ok?

by **schumi_girl** » Sat Jan 31, 2009 10:28 pm UTC

Ok so I'm moving to Brisbane in exactly one week.

Meetupz now?

by **raptor.fortress** » Sun Feb 01, 2009 6:00 am UTC

Game on ends on the fifteenth of this month.

Meetupz now.

by **__jess** » Sun Feb 01, 2009 7:58 am UTC

So, when is everyone free? I am, at the moment, completely available almost all of the time! No job, no plans, until uni starts up again.

by **schumi_girl** » Sun Feb 01, 2009 8:00 am UTC

I'm moving in this Friday, so I'm free this weekend, Saturday/Sunday?

by **PS_Mouse** » Sun Feb 01, 2009 9:49 am UTC

Hrm, I'll probably be free this weekend I think.

[EDIT] Most weekends actually, weekdays are right out though. *shakes his fist at work*

by **raptor.fortress** » Sun Feb 01, 2009 10:08 am UTC

I'm free Thursday till Sunday until Uni starts back up. Then probably never.

by **schumi_girl** » Sun Feb 01, 2009 10:26 am UTC

I'm good for Saturday after I hit the Southbank markets, or Sunday sometime?

EDIT: I'm not actually sure if it's open on Sunday?

by **__jess** » Sun Feb 01, 2009 10:33 am UTC

Ooh, markets!
Saturday suits me wonderfully.

by **schumi_girl** » Sun Feb 01, 2009 8:39 pm UTC

God dammit.

My parents messed up my moving dates, so I'm not moving til Sunday, so looks like I'll miss the meetup. T_T

by **hermaj** » Sun Feb 01, 2009 10:41 pm UTC

When you guys come up with a date, feel free to PM me and let me know so I can change it in the title for you.
