I hate you all.
Somebody win lotto so I can fly to Sydney and Melbourne.
Can I come to the Sydney one, or do you have to have been a dope/ I mean a Doper at least a year or something ???
I promise I’ll be good [sub]not[/sub]
pleasepleaseplease 
was that gushy enough to get me in ?
More than welcome Goo - BTW, if any Sydney-siders are free tomorrow night we have an out of town SSSFer flying in.
I was thinking the pub in Pitt Street opposite Central where TLD and I went last time…
Henry mate this is NOT GOOD!
No man who likes Emo Phillips should miss out if there’s a way around it.
Perhaps there could be an early starters group so you can pop in for a quick howdy? What’s the latest you can get home for Shabbat? Does daylight saving make a difference? I mean, does it go by sunset rather than by time (never known any observant jews, hence these questions)?
I could get into the city for 3.00pm, and we could have a coffee maybe?
hehehe. Just realised it’s 5.50pm on Friday night - you prob’ly won’t see this for a day or so. Try emailing me mate.
That Emo Phillips - what a hoot.

Oooh, sure, I’d like to come to the Melbourne one. That’s after my exams and everything too.
Okay. Some of us will be meeting with HenrySpencer at 4.00pm at a coffee shop in town. This is the first phase of the evenings revelry. Henry has to leave at 5.30, and further jollity will ensue.
Cumber mate, very happy to have you along.
I’m now wondering how things are looking for Cazzle, hawthorne and Kayeby?
I’ll email people as the week progresses.
best to youse all
Redboss
Mr Cazzle gets home at 4.30… it’s about 90 minutes drive from here to Melbourne… we could be cutting things a bit fine, and I’m not sure how happy he’d be about knocking off work, driving straight to Melbourne and then straight home again. Things are a little tight here at the moment, so we couldn’t stay over… I’ll let you know, but at this stage it looks iffy.
We’ll let you know for sure asap, hopefully we can work something out. 
Heh heh, well I’m glad I’ll be provoking some ‘jollity’, even if it’s only by leaving ;).
Keep me posted on the details.
Excellent. You can count me in for anything on a Friday night.Ë›
Sounds good … but I’m lost - where are we meeting? And when? 
Not sure if I’ll be able to make it. After all, Melbourne is but a lesurely 10 hour drive from home for me.
Dimboola - obscure?! No way - you’ve got that play and everything. And I’ve been through there, so no way it’s obscure!
Sorry folks, looks like I won’t be able to make it. Damn.
Just bumping this up for the benefit of all involved. Redboss already has the numbers of the hotels I’m staying at; TheLoadedDog, I think he was forwarding these to you as well, but if you need them, let me know. Can I possibly get numbers for the folks who are helping to coordinate everything, just I can reach you if necessary?
Both Sunday in Sydney and Friday in Melbourne sound great. Since I am part of a tour group, with 12 or so of us traveling, the times when I can get away on my own may require last-minute adjustments. As long as I don’t miss any in-country flights between cities, I’m good!
I really am looking forward to meeting as many people as I can. If it helps anyone who can’t make it to these two cities, I am also free for:
–Lunch in Port Arthur and dinner in Hobart on Wednesday, Nov. 21
–Lunch in Adelaide on Saturday, Nov. 24 and all day in Adelaide on Sunday, Nov. 25
I’ll check the thread again and print it out before I leave next Thursday, and go from there. Thanks to Redboss and TheLoadedDog for putting these together!
AdelDope, anyone?
First off, Phil, I am so jealous you are going to the land of Oz.
Secondly, DownUnder Dopers, just an FYI, ** PLdennison’s birthday is November 27 ** ( Same day as mine.No, that is not a Big Friggin’ Hint. [sub]really[/sub])
I expect yous all to get him royally shit faced, take incriminating pictures with a kanagroo and a digiridoo.
Consider it done.
Oz Dopers, I’ll email youse separately to confirm meeting times and details
Redboss
Bummer. I’ll be in Perth during that period of time. The tyranny of distance and all that. Have fun, folks.
I’m hanging out for this
I haven’t got an email yet, but I’ll confirm as soon as I do.
Count me out, I have a function I can’t get out of !
Maybe next time…
Have fun guys.
[sub]damn, I so wanted to know what The Loaded Dog looked like ![/sub]
