All right dudes, the former PerthPAX thread is now the official Australian Meetup Thread, wherein all meetups and "miniPAXes" in Australia are listed by city, and included are links to recaps for earlier gatherings!

HOW TO USE THIS OP: if your city name is colored ORANGE, it means there's an upcoming event available in the spoiler, and the next one is happening on the date appearing next to the city name (if confirmed)! Attendee names in BOLD means that this is the first gathering they are attending, while those that have been crossed out are cancellations. Times, dates, and locations are where everyone is expected to MEET and does not necessarily detail where things will end up.

To sign up for an event, post your interest in this thread so that I can see it, and consider letting the listed Contact know via PM as well.

Check this post frequently for updates on events and stuff, please feel free to join us at any event at any location if you'll be available!

Feel free to initiate an event just by posting in this thread or PMing me with details, and I will edit them in here and update the title.

PREVIOUS AUSTRALIAN GATHERINGS
VIV'S ASIAN HQ MEET-UP - PERTH - the very first Perth gathering which was great fun that involved kebabs and pool and drinking and Castle Crashers and angry sex (faces)!

WAKA LAKA'S THEORETICAL BBQ OF MANY LIES BUT THAT IS NOW TOTALLY GOING TO HAPPEN - PERTH - a great amount of fun featuring a fantastic host, tons of meat, alcohol, dice games, oysters, and Little Big Planet
Pictures by Waka Laka

KINCAID'S 1907 BINGE - PERTH - April 9th, Thursday - a night that started off hectic but ended up quite fun, we got dressed up, drank, and wished Kincaid a happy birthday at midnight
Pictures by Kincaid

BUTLER'S GREAT ADVENTURE - PERTH - April 13th, Monday - the largest PerthPAX by far with 9 people showing up, in spite of poor weather we ripped through a very eventful day at Adventure World, which included people getting stuck in rides, people getting heads bashed in on slides, ducks being chased in the swimming pool, boob-feeling on the giant boat ride, tree-climbing to retrieve thrown towels, three couples and a threesome, poker, and generally speaking all-round good fun (pictures on the way, we did end up taking some but after AJR, flynnie, and BigKev had left us!)
Pictures by Kincaid

MOVIE NIGHT I - PERTH - April 30th, Thursday - a low-key, kick-off-the-new-month gathering that involves watching the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie! Featuring running commentary, loud bursts of random giggling and laughter, popcorn, caffeine, too much Gambit, and a serious lack of Deadpool! Pictures on the way!

    daddy-longlegs actually eat smaller, more dangerous spiders like redbacks.

    Also, I might come visit later in the year, but can't afford it right now.
