Hi everyone!
Anyone want to meet up for dinner on the Tuesday night before the conference in Sydney?
Preferably in or around the hotel - for us out-of-towners flying in and staying on site.
Looking forward to meeting you all there.
Paul.
maybe
Hi Paul
there is 2 of us coming from Melbourne but not sure what time we are arriving on Tue night.
Cheers
Slight change of plans for
Slight change of plans for me. I'm also flying up from Melbourne but needed to change my flight - now landing in Sydney about 9pm (DJ887).
I'm still eager to say hello to anyone either at the airport in Melbourne or in the hotel, maybe at the bar. Otherwise will see you all in the morning!
I'll be there
My flight is confirmed and I'll be at the hotel in time for pre-conf dinner.
Let me know if I should look out for you.

I'll be late
Sounds great Peter. Not sure if you want to hang out until 9.30 for dinner:which is about the time I'll get to the hotel.
if not, not to worry. will see you at breakfast soon enough.
what time is dinner?
Hi
we land at 6:25 (DJ0869) from Melbourne and would like to catch up. Has anyone gone through all the podcasts yet?
Counting down the sleeps....
Dinner
Hi All,
For those of you out of town.
Unless you eat at the Mercure there is nothing around that I am aware of and I live and work in Sydney.
Options are:
10 mins by taxi to Marrickville for great Asian food like Vietnamese, or
10 mins by taxi to Newtown for anything you can think of on what is the biggest shopping strip in the souther hemisphere and most probably your best option for late night dining, drinking, desert and or coffee.
Let me know if you want me to organise anything, otherwise see you in the morning.
Cheers Allan
A steak (sic) in the ground
Allan,
Let's do this:
Could you please nominate either an eatery or a location in Newtown (good "value" if possible - I'm on a budget!).
I'll be there at 7:30 and if anyone else wants to join (assuming they see this post!), they're welcome.
Then I reckon head back to the hotel from say about 9pm and hang out at "Bradley's Bar" at the hotel, where anyone else coming later can drop in and say hello.
How does that sound?

9pm @ the bar
Hi all
I arrive in to Syd @ 7.20pm on the Tues night and will check in to the Mecure thereafter.
Will probably catch you at the Bradley's Bar @ 9pm Peter if you are there at that time.
I'll be the guy with longish hair, glasses and a beard.

Bar @ 9 sounds like a great plan
Hi everyone,
Originally only able to get a spot at the ECC, but actually managed to get in to the EMC too after being on the waiting list. Yay!
So will be coming over on Tuesday from Perth now, but got heaps to do in the afternoon/evening (still business hours in WA until 8pm EDST) so will be looking forward to catching up with people at the bar @ 9pm.
Should we all wear red carnations?? ;o)
"Has anyone gone through all the podcasts yet?" - CCALVA
Madly cramming. Have been listening non stop for the last 4 weeks - feeling a little brainwashed actually! Is it a problem when you can hear Mark's voice when you don't actually have your iPod on? Or start using MT quotes in everyday conversations? I'm surprised someone hasn't asked me if "effective" is my word of the month...
See you all soon.
Cheers, Michelle
Newtown for dinner @ 7.30pm
Hi All,
Peter head for the Dendy Cinemas in Newtown 251-263 King St Newtown.
Cheap eats are available all around you on either side of the cinema and across the road ranging from cafes, bars, pasta, noodles and gellato, chinese, vietnamese, you name it and you can get a meal for under $15.
Happy to meet you and or anyone else @ the Dendy and if so, call or text me on my mobile 0412 474 324 to confirm.
Also happy to meet at the Mercure bar after for a drink before heading home, as I want to make sure I am fresh for Paul and Mark in the ice cave lol.
Cheers Allan :)
see you at the bar
Great to have people getting together. Sounds like we'll have a great time next week!
I'll make it to the bar after 9 and try and find others. I'll be the tall geeky guy that you just KNOW works with computers for a living.
Dendy Cinemas at 7:30 it is then
OK, Thanks Allan, we have a meeting point!
Dendy Cinemas in Newtown 251-263 King St Newtown

Hi
Really excited about heading over to Sydney next week. Hopefully Ant and I will meet you guys on Tuesday night. Madly finishing my homework and trying to figure out how many layers of warm clothing to pack without breaking my baggage allowance.
