I think you have asked me that before!

Probably.

You are always on the go.

I should be able to make it since it's just before my trip to London...

Awesome, will be good to catch up.

For the record I would prefer a weeknight due the crowds on a Friday but I am happy to go with the flow.

I'm about a 90% chance at this stage for the 2nd Aug.

Tentative (read flexible) booking made at HSW.

I hope to be home on Sunday - maybe.

I think we'd better decide on a venue sooner rather than later. I'm listing a few options, so let me know what you'd prefer (or if there is another option I haven't thought of).

• Left Bank http://www.leftbankmelbourne.com.au/files/ALACARTE03JULY.pdf
• Ludlow http://www.ludlowbar.com.au/images/menu/Ludlow-Dining-Room-13-May-2013.pdf
• La Camera Italian Cuisine | Italian Restaurant Melbourne | La Camera Southbank
• Blue Train Cafe http://www.dimaeats.com/bluetrain/Blue Train_new july 2011 v1.pdf

Blue Train or Ludlow would be my picks from that list.

Bear Brass is too busy on Fridays, and La Camera is more of a restaurant than a drinks venue.

I plan on drinking and eating

Of the two, bluetrain is the most casual ...

FWIW, I don't think I will be able to drink for health reasons, so I will just be eating.

According to their website Blue Train have seen the light and now accept bookings for all size groups. Otherwise La Camera might be okay if they are willing to hold a table for us through the evening (e.g don't do 2-3 sittings on that table).


blackcat20, I assume the target start time was 5:30 or 6:00 ish?

I'm probably a no-show, given the delays I am experiencing (industry-wide) after a significant 1 July legislation change. Things have ground to a halt (getting presentations ready for presentation to clients).

A pity. I guess some of us will see you on the 10th of August in BrisVegas.

Im leaning towards Blue Train too. I finish work at 4.30, so a 5.30 start works for me. I'll make a booking then we can adjust as it gets closer.

Good luck with the no drinking

Hello,

Was wondering if this is open to anyone or do you already have to know someone personally?

I could actually be in ML that weekend and thought it could be a fun you to meet a few like minded peeps.

Also If I was to attend how would one explain to ones girfriend that I was going to a bar to meet some folks that I'd never met from the internet?? haha!

Another thing, does anybody know how to reply to threads from an Iphone? As I am in the lounge every couple of weeks and can guest up to three people I think, and I always travel alone!
