    I was going to, but then I sucked. :oops:

    I fly out for PAX on September 3rd, and fly back in on September 14th.

    Hey Buttles

    I fly out on the 3rd too.

    Are you going straight to Seattle?

    Yeah I was going to make a thread Viv, and that's unthinkable because I would then need to update the OP.

    You should make one again (or I can I guess), even if there is nothing solid in the pipeline yet, it's a good place for us to shoot the shit and keep track of what's happening.

    TB when are we going to go get drunk again

    i've got an appetite for beer. and maybe tapas

    A new thread probably would have been locked anyway since no actual meetups were scheduled. Does Australia deserve its own perpetual thread? Well...

    Actually you know, several mods commented on how good an example of a meetup thread it was. Constantly updated, useful OP, mostly on topic. And meetups were scheduled and executed regularly.

    and not just mods
    i made that exact comment several times
    of course i missed the sydney meetup
    but im sure i had a very good excuse

    Yeah, straight there. It's sheer luck that PAX falls on the same weekend that my one-week study break begins, so I can actually spend some time in Seattle afterwards and justify the expense.

    Dude, I am keen whenever you are keen, just lay down a goddamn date and I will let you know whether I am free.

    Funny you speak of tapas, I had some pretty good stuff a few weeks back at the Sir John Young pub on George St. We went there for a burger and chips, but they've since been invaded by a whole clan of Spanish people, and now the place does Tapas on a Friday night. Tapas and beer.

  • Tweaked_Bat_Tweaked_Bat_ Registered User regular
    I am pretty certain I am available on all weekends for the remainder of August (Including tomorrow night!)

    In any case, you have my number, don't be afraid to use it!

    Yep I should be up for either of those nights I'll keep in touch closer to the date.

    I am up for a Melbourne meetup, but I probably won't be able to make it because I have something on every weekend until fucking October or something. But if you guys organise something I'll try to push stuff around and come hang out :)

    I am unable to do something right away. Flat broke, starting work on Tuesday at some place in the kitchen though. So if all goes well they will pay me and maybe I can find out which shifts I am going to be working and get back on when I'll have off?

    I missed this

    Seriously though I am coming to Melbourne soon and hangouts are in order.

    We should all go to Ackland Street and eat some cake

    then get drunk at the Espy.

    This works out so well for me because I live so close! I'd let you all come meet my dog and family. But my dog will get too excited. Then when you say hello to my mother it would bite you.

  • AirAir Registered User regular
    my dog does this thing where if you hit someone he will snap at you and then try to curl up on your lap

    because he hates violence you see

    Well when dogs wrap their forelegs around each other they're usually trying to rip each other's faces off.

    Not to derail this thread, but really what they're implying about "Seattle threads" is pretty retarded. They got off topic mainly because some people got tired of seeing us actually plan get togethers on a regular basis so they thought it would be cute to pop in and derail the thread by complaining about how it's another Seattle thread. And we made the threads when we were actually planning something and we did actually get together.

    So I call bullshit. But again, don't want to derail this thread. Just wanted to toss that out, though I suspect no one gives a shit.

    yeah but have you seen my OPs for the Australia thread

    they are some pretty badass OPs

    I'm impressed by my OPs

  • stimtokolosstimtokolos Registered User regular
    They had Bold Orange denoting cities with upcoming events.

  • VivixenneVivixenne Not Mad... Just DisappointedRegistered User regular
    and CAPS where appropriate!

    plus known forumer locations by city!

    and and AND recaps!

    oh MAN

    also many many spoilers

  • DruhimDruhim Usagi's cuddlefish Registered User, ClubPA regular
    we didn't need forumer locations because we pretty much all lived in Seattle
    so we pretty much just did stuff in Seattle

    You Australians and your meetups.

    There are like five forumers in Edmonton and we never meet up because we're all terrible people. Or at least I am, I can't speak for the rest.

    Honestly if someone just took the initiative and actually organized something I'm sure you'll be able to have a pretty nice meet-up. The Edmonton folks are all nice folks, from what I've seen. No reason for it to go badly!

    Hell part of the reason the PerthPAX thread became the AusPAX thread is because people just saw how easy it was for rad folks to get together, and so I just converted the thread over so that all the Australia-based forumers only had to go to one place.

    We keep finding out about lurkers or long-gone posters who are living in these cities and they pop up when they see the thread and come hang out, that's why a thread like that is so cool.

    Look I ain't gonna shit on the Seattle thread, I got no problem with them, but the Seattlites didn't exactly handle the poopin' in the threads well, either. :( I think one of the reasons why the Seattle threads got attacked were just that everyone already knew everyone else so why not set up events off the forums why you gotta do a thing on the forums... but most people also tend to forget that by posting an event on the forums, it invites other PA fans to join in and meet some great folks.

    That's why you do threads like this.

    Oh, no, I know.

    By 'terrible people' I mean 'extremely lazy people'. And we had a meetup of sorts last year, I'm going to try for another one this year.

    ok fair enough

    man look this is SE++ if a thread gets derailed it gets derailed, I don't know why Australia got left well enough alone while Seattle got blasted to the moon over and over again with pages and pages of "lol Seattle thread," but raising it every time something nice is said about a meetup thread isn't exactly the way to warm people's hearts to Seattle threads either

    could be that the Aussie meetup threads are just lower profile, which I'm sure is fine by everyone who regularly posts in them anyway

  • ButlerButler Registered User regular
    Druhim no one mentioned Seattle threads

    no one

    There have been meet-up threads for places all around the world. Apparently some of the mods complimented the Australian ones as being better than average, and that says exactly nothing either way about their opinion of Seattle meet-up threads. The insult is all in your head.
