The possums will let you pet them though.

I am currently looking at Southbank because there are licensed areas and if you want to bring alchomohols.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

So what was the general consensus?

Who's In / Out for a picnic somewhere near/in the city in exactly a weeks time.

by **__jess** » Sun Sep 21, 2008 10:11 am UTC

I'm in.

by **PS_Mouse** » Sun Sep 21, 2008 12:55 pm UTC

and my axe!

by **raptor.fortress** » Sun Sep 21, 2008 1:56 pm UTC

You sir, are a funny man.

by **GhostWolfe** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 3:43 am UTC

I'm beginning to think that the picnic thing is a Bad Idea^TM. Between the heat, the absence of organisation, and lack of knowledge about the venue. But mostly the heat. I think, for this particular occasion, we'll be far better suited to somewhere indoors and where we don't have to supply our own food.

by **raptor.fortress** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 4:31 am UTC

Anything that gets me out of preparing food must be a good thing.

I second this trademarked Idea.

by **GhostWolfe** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 8:19 am UTC

I propose that we meet at that lame/funky burger joint on George Street near the pancake manor around the order of 1pm, have ourselves some eats, and go from there.

/angell

by **schumi_girl** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 8:45 am UTC

I really wanted to go this weekend, but the parents aren't happy about it, due to the fact that I've never driven to Brisbane before, and by myself makes it a LOT worse.

*sigh*

Ideas on how to get me there?

by **raptor.fortress** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 11:20 am UTC

What's the name of the burger joint?

-> Schumi, take a zeppelin.

Or failing that, there's a bus I've taken a couple of times, it used to be about twenty bucks.

by **GhostWolfe** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 11:22 am UTC

Burgers of the World or something. It's not great, but it's got a silly theme.

/angell

by **JayDee** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 11:28 am UTC

I am a big fan of silly themes.

by **__jess** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 12:02 pm UTC

Sounds good to me! (I'm fickle, two days ago I was wholeheartedly in support of picnic

)

by **PS_Mouse** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 12:24 pm UTC

*Dislodges his axe from the picnic, buries it into Burgers of the World*

by **PS_Mouse** » Fri Sep 26, 2008 12:13 am UTC

So who/how many do we have coming?

by **GhostWolfe** » Fri Sep 26, 2008 8:17 am UTC

I have roughly 7 RSVPs atm

by **PS_Mouse** » Fri Sep 26, 2008 11:05 am UTC

by **raptor.fortress** » Fri Sep 26, 2008 1:14 pm UTC

so what time, exactlty, are we meeting at burgers of the world?

Cheers Mouse m'dear.

I don't have RSVPs from, I think, 6 or so people, so numbers could swell on the day.

/angell

by **PS_Mouse** » Sun Sep 28, 2008 2:52 am UTC

fyi:
The place is called Global Burgers

by **raptor.fortress** » Sun Sep 28, 2008 10:41 am UTC

Thanks for a great afternoon guys,

Gramps had fun. He kept mentioning some really strange book on the way home though,

Something about kangaroos and chess?

by **__jess** » Sun Sep 28, 2008 11:10 am UTC

Yeah, the lawn bowls were a great idea....

As for the strip chess, we shall never speak of it again!
Until JayDee posts graphic details, of course.
*cough* PM me the best bits *cough*

T'was a fun time indeed.

by **GhostWolfe** » Sun Sep 28, 2008 11:28 am UTC

I've got some great quotes from the book I got, I'm going to have to take some scans.

/angell

by **__jess** » Sun Sep 28, 2008 11:34 am UTC

Yes, do, so that we can warn others of the Teenage Satanists who right mean letters to their enemies!

Edit: I obviously had way too much fun today.... :roll:

Did I... did I really write that?
The Teenage Satanists have already gotten to me! Help! Halp! Hulp!

Goes to show how little I actually *read* anything rather than just picking up the meaning. Totally skimmed over that one.

I would, but I think this silly public internet kiosk would have a fit.

I find this threads lack of ~~faith~~ pictures disturbing.

(meetup was awesome)

by **GhostWolfe** » Thu Oct 02, 2008 12:16 am UTC

My scanner is packed away in a box and I don't really feel like getting it out and putting it away again for some pics. That, and I forgot my camera on Sunday.

Also! Plans for a meetup in late october perhaps? I have this bad unshakable feeling that even if I say "BBQ, Oct 25", it will still end up with me on the Tuesday before going: well, now it's just too late ya bunch o' slackers; and having to come up with a last-minute alternate plan.

/angell

by **__jess** » Thu Oct 02, 2008 3:35 am UTC

BBQ is go. Promise I'll help plan this time.

by **PS_Mouse** » Sun Oct 05, 2008 12:30 pm UTC

Hrm, BBQ you say. 25th of Oct you say.

Well, my Thunderbird is go.

by **GhostWolfe** » Mon Oct 06, 2008 12:57 am UTC

I wanna say "New Farm Park: Oct 25" because New Farm Park is right next to a Coles, so you can buy fuds on your way there. There are buses and ferries, you should all be able to get out there all right.

/angell

by **schumi_girl** » Tue Oct 07, 2008 1:38 am UTC

I'm going to try my very, very hardest to make it.

I may even be brave enough to catch my first bus!

=)

The things I do for you guys, seriously.

Sorry, I've been away. Facebook album linky.

Ten days till meetup!
What time shall we meet?
I'm bringing yummy homemade dip, I've decided.

by **GhostWolfe** » Thu Oct 16, 2008 4:22 am UTC

I would prefer if people fed themselves, but if you want to bring something to share, please do. Just don't be turning up expecting that someone else brought the snags

I don't think I can get there before midday, I have an open house to attend in the morning.
