I'n all honesty last year we hung around at transport for a while before moving on.
There has been in the past been a rough itinerary, perhaps this year I'll create one.
Maybe something like: Transport >>> Portland Hotel >>> European Beer Cafe
Kind of depends on numbers...
Thoughts?
I had one and then headed back to my hotel. :P

Bartronica is a barcade in the CBD went there on the weekend just gone, pretty good.
Plenty of places to go in the CBD can just provides recommendations on the night
I'll definitely be at Transport from 7.
It is the reason i just dont attend things like this - being the odd one out that just does not drink anything other than soft drinks tends to alienate me from everyone else. Makes me feel uncomfortable.
I'll have work the next day so I won't be having a heap, you should definitely come down!
I likely won't be drinking much either, or at all. I don't believe that as a community we would shun anyone who chooses not to drink, or not to drink much. Besides, it's cheaper - and that means more money for cool games!
We're running a trivia night there on the Wednesday, and last year - for the whole week I was down in Melbourne - I basically lived there when I wasn't at PAX or at my friend's house, sleeping.
I sense we should group at Transport as planned and stop in at one or two places on the way to Games Lab. Perhaps with the intention of getting there around 11. @Smuffy @WeeMadAndo who do we need to talk to in order to pre-warn... I fancy cards against humanity...
@SuperRoach Welcome back :biggrin:
@bman26 My wife is preggers with imminently due twins, any time in the first 2 weeks of november, (we have 2 already), so this is my last weekend to go mad then no drinking as I will have to drive the people mover to the hospital....
As for pre-warning? Games Lab is a large venue, and last year for the eve of PAX they had the main floor, event floor and bar floor all open, so... Yeah. Should be fine.
Mayhap a Melbournian dropping by and seeing what time they're planning on closing on the Thursday would be a good idea?
He's super approachable and friendly. Also, he has a sommelier's eye for games, and can match you with something you'l be sure to like.
I've found a possible in between venue, given the issue raised about budgetary concerns:
