Hello all, @Sprucegoose and I are putting a call out to those keen to make an earlier start for the party. We are planning to meet-up for a pre-dinner drink from 6pm at Gimlet bar if you’re planning to head into the city earlier.

It’s very informal as I’ve not made a reservation at this point. Hopefully we don’t get turned away

And check if there are disruptions on your train line this weekend at: bigbuild.vic.gov/disruptions/calendar

Many suburban and country lines will be affected.

I'll be in the city, so I'll see you at Gimlet!

I am not sure I will make it into the city, so I will just have to play it by ear.

Ok thanks for letting me. I hope you can make it.

That should be "I am not sure *when* I will make it into the city ..."

*sigh*

For anyone traveling into the city tonight, replacement buses (at least on the Glen Waverley line) are awful this morning. I waited for 45 mins for a bus at Richmond. Google maps and PTV timings are super off too.

 

[Mattg]

I’m on my way from CBR. Can report that VA has replaced its usual boarding music with Christmas pop hits.

 

[Hvr]

Gimlet is full. Only letting in people with bookings.

 

[Hvr]

We're at Whiskey Bar about 20m south of Gimlet. Sitting outside.
