    place I've spent the most money so far: Comic Zone

    but that's because Blake's been paying for most everything else :oops:

    Yes. We've already had some discussion on that. Adventure World is like a miniature theme park. At least it only costs about $40 per person.

    Synth, I already uninvited myself. I'm not going.

    what

    why not


    I'm not doing so well at making friends here. I'd rather not scare off anybody else from coming - "What, that guy is going? Psh, fuck that."

    It'd be nice if you met a bunch of people and had fun. I love Perth, and I want for you to end up loving it too.

    that's stupid

    you're stupid

    you should come to a meet-up at least ONCE before deciding that you're terrible or that we'll have a terrible time because you're coming along

    you're not going to get any BETTER at making friends if you avoid every possible opportunity

    come join us, I am the best at making people feel welcome and I don't have anything against you

    I'm pretty sure I'm available sometime over the weekend. I know I have to drive to Bubury to visit my twin nearly-nephews in law sometime during the long weekend. I'll have to check with the missus when we're actually free. Has anybody made concrete plans for anything yet?

    not yet

    I'm going to suggest Saturday as the day if that works for most people, since it's not smack-dab in the middle of the long weekend

    but if that doesn't work Butler is also available on Sunday

    not sure about Waka Laka yet

    I won't have my license by then.

    I may do a road trip to perth with a couple of friends later in the year, nothing is on the cards, but they are game for anything. I'll just ditch them for a couple days and hang out with you and blake and whoever else comes along.

    Melbourne would be great

    I have an uncle down there I promised I'd visit when I get my license and there are other PAers who could be bullied into hanging out.

    Also it is only 8 hours drive :D

    Recently. I only found out yesterday when we took Amys grandmother to the movies to watch Yes man. I was all,

    "Man I wish I'd seen Dark Knight when it was in cinemas."

    *looks at big ass poster for IMAX Dark Knight*

    FUCK

    YESSSS

    Exactly the point I was making... Also, they're built like tanks, so just whack a couple of drums of fuel in the boot, hook them up to the regular fuel tank, and drive as the crow flies, I.E. straight here. Cut half the distance off right there. You'll be here in under 18 hours...

    the only thing different about the cars is that you guys are all flipped around and there aren't as many Volkswagens on the road

    Blake laughs at me when I walk to the wrong side of the car :(

    popular like you would not believe

    they're losing ground to GM, but only slightly, they remain the dominant force in the Chinese auto market
