Fix'd

On topic:
any ideas of venues?
Sydney is a venue in and of itself, and I would be saying "Meet at this place, at this time, or let me know if you're going to be late." I'd probably say meet at Sydney Terminal station, as that's where I'd be turning up.

We forge one from the fires of the old world burning.

And by that i mean: Somewhere air conditioned, it's december and knowing sydney it will only be marginally cooler than the sun itself.

I'd say the Arcade would be choice. And I'm afraid Pubs may be out of the question. Underage people and all that.

And it's much more fashionable to get drunk in the street.

So that sydneyans can partake in that time honored australian civic tradition: Yell at the drunk to do things.

Dates back to the convicts, you know.

I would love to go but:
1) I lack the money to get there
and
2) My parents, probably wouldn't be too thrilled about me going to a foreign country to meet up with people I met on the Internet.

Okay, here's an important note. If you're planning to stay overnight or for longer, I can't guarantee somewhere to sleep, so it may be worth you booking into a backpacker hostel. There's one quite close to Sydney Terminal station, though I don't have contact details for it. Google Maps should help you there. This is a rule of thumb, but I would encourage you to bug people to lend a couch, as it's cheaper. Even if Croshaw comes, he'll be paying for his own accommodation, so don't think special treatment is going to happen.

Though something tells me he'd have little trouble finding a couch.

Sounds fun but alas your meet up will have to be without me. I live nowhere near Sydney, don't have the money to spend to get there, and will probably be in college on December 20th.

Remember though even when I am not personally around, my extra-dimensional minions are always watching you.

I was thinking that as somewhat of a joke, you could turn up in your helmet. I'm taking the Bowler, and Xhumed is planning to take his gas mask.
Yopu want me to turn up in this shirt?

Ditto, except replace 'college' with 'having all four wisdom teeth pulled'...........

Darn it......

Labyrinth, make sure you take a whole bunch of pictures of this gathering- I wanna see what a ton of Escapists look like as a group.........

Looks like. I'm also heading for the 13th as well, but I'll be checking weather reports closer to the time before I say for sure. The cooler the day the better.
