Awesome guys, can you both please PM me so I have a definite way to confirm/track numbers please that would be appreciated. I will be posting some more info shortly.

You guys should look up Drunk Quest the RPG drinking game and shoot me a msg would be cool to finally play it without all my friends passing out before the end of the game :P
With travelling vast distances to PAXes, I have to say getting drunk is usually pretty damn low down on my priority list. Never worth losing a day recovering when there's more PAX!
(I'd also make a snide remark about real beer, but realize I may be shot on landing).
Add to the list of games we're bringing. We found a really nice FLGS here in Canberra and couldn't resist buying Hanabi. So we'll be brining that one too.
Haha, well country is complicated, as I live far from my birth city. But I'd prefer a cool, well brewed dark ale to a lager any day. I have in the past
been surprised by American craft beer, despite the reputation of its exports. I hope for similar here!
(And Fosters is piss, so I think we agree here.[See, not all parenthesis are bad!])
The multitude of bars open we can always duck in for a drink beforehand. But yeah Games Laboratory have requested no alcohol (I can understand why, with our group going plus a magic the gathering event there will be at least 100 people... If everyone is drinking that's going to be hell for them).
But it's Melbourne and there is 2 things you can rely on, bars/pubs to get a buzz going and a decent cup of coffee.

Hey everyone just a quick rundown on thursday night. We are starting at 4 pm and we're going till late. Please respect the wishes of games laboratory no alcohol. Food and drink is welcome as long as you keep it clean. If you want to take photos please do, I will be forwarding any on the night to yug.
For those who don't know where to go, games laboratory is really easy to find just head to the corner of La Trobe and Elizabeth st. Then look at the anz bank on the corner, walk about 20 meters or so past it and its on the left. Melbourne central station is 1 block from games laboratory.
Plenty of good food in and around Melbourne central and a 7-11 nearby for last minute supplies. Please make sure you drink plenty of water and eat well. Look forward to seeing you all there.
If I have forgotten anything I will update this post.

Brilliant. I plan to be there early, and hope to slip away for dinner at Mamak (just around the corner) at some point and then back for games. If anyone wants to join me for some quick Malaysian goodness.
I'll be bringing a few games, most likely Sabotuer, Dixit, Tsuro and The Resistance as they're all very social, easy to learn and quick to play.
Looking forward to it.

Hooray boardgamers! I won't be there Thursday night (have a great night), but do come and check out our boardgames library in the Big Top during PAX Aus!
I just posted something long and rambling about it over here.
Don't panic, There are spots. Talarian there is plenty of room, we are just controlling the numbers because of another event the same night (Magic the Gathering). We just didn't want a massive snowball last minute. There is still room just PM me how many are going if you are in a group. Just remember if you want to bring your own board games please feel free to, you can also rent and purchase board games at Games Laboratory.

Hey another update there is also a preview of lords of waterdeep expansion by wizards of the coast the same night as well. Here is a quote from games laboratory.
"We’ll be featuring a preview of the new Lords of Waterdeep expansion courtesy of Wizards of the Coast and have a bunch of Ascension promos to give away courtesy of Stone Blade Entertainment. Bring your own copy of Ascension in for others to play or buy a copy on the night and we’ll give you a singleton copy of each promo we have! (while stocks last)"
Also if anyone wants to catch up for dinner or maybe a boardgame tomorrow night let me know I'm in melb now.

We (@itchbay and myself) are bringing:Innovation (plays 2-4); The Resistance (plays 5-10); Hanabi (2-5); The Great Dalmuti (supposedly 4-8, but we've played up to 10 with it); Anomia (3-6); and a creative storytelling game called Heroine that we bought at PAX Prime last year.
I'll be starting the boardgaming weekend early at the Royal Standard Hotel tonight. If there are people here who are planning to attend that, I'd love to play a game I'm bringing Copycat, Guild Hall, Guillotine, Barons, Glory to Rome, Revolution and my hand made copy of Love Letter.
On Thursday, I'm planning to bring and play Alien Frontiers, Lords of Waterdeep, Rex, and Tzolk'in. I'm also happy to bring other games along if they're requested.

My group is looking like having about 10-15 people, I'll be bringing:
Spartacus + Exp (6p - we're going to bury ourselves in a corner with this for a while)
Chez Geek - we'll probably start with a BIG game of this - have enough cards for about 8-10 players.
Cthulhu 500
unfortunately bag space has us confined.
although we only have about 2 hours, I'll have the rest of the games on us at the show, too, and plan on spending most of my free time in the TT section.
bringing:
Zombie Dice
Cthulhu Dice
Munchkin (basic) *edit - I forgot, but as a bonus, we will be bringing the Penny Arcade Mini-expansion too!
Star Fluxx
Gloom (and unwelcome guests expansion)
Fiasco
We have got room to breath we had made space for the last minute rush expecting a few to jump at the opportunity. If I am messaged it just helps myself and games lab organize the night a little better.

Couldn't stay for long sadly, but it was fantastic to see the turn-out.
My group plays alternate Thursdays at Games Lab anyway. I'll be away the 1st of August though - the 15th however will be back to normal if anyone local wants to make it a regular thing.

You can't just drop this at the end of a post, in parentheses and think it will fly. What are you trying to imply here and where do you hail from..?

I'll have one of these waiting for you at Games Laboratory then shall I?
And without derailing the topic too much further...
Nothing to stop us from having one ahead of time though!
