I've ran this by dfcatch, and thought I'd present my ideas on the itinerary for the evening. Given the number of events I've missed recently I thought I must make it along to this one (unfortunately I cannot make JQ35 on Thursday).
As some of you know, I live very close to the city. It's about a 20 minute stroll to the Hilton (or a $12 cab fare). If you know where the Coca Cola sign is or the Holiday Inn, Mercure or Diamant in Potts Point then you at least know roughly where my building is
I also have a rather sizeable balcony by Sydney standards (although haydensydney's is bigger :mrgreen
. There's bench seating and a table for 6, plus more chairs and another table that could be moved out. There's also plenty of standing room and the doors open into my living room with couches.
So, from about 6pm on the 23rd who would be interested in joining me on my balcony for some drinks, nibbles and to chat about travel, points and whatever else takes our fancy?
Sunset is due for 7:15pm on October 23rd, so at 7:30pm (or 8:00pm) we could then go next door to (
Hugos Bar Pizza | Hugos). As a local resident I have a card that provides 50% off pizzas which are arguably the best around (and of course the full menu is available).
After what will no doubt be a delicious dinner, we'll call it a night or perhaps adjourn for a nightcap somewhere.
I'm happy to pick up a couple of cases of beer and cider along with some wine and assorted finger food to hold us over until dinner. There also a Liquorland in the building next door if you want anything special (and I do have about 2L of Hendrick's in my cupboard if I'm in a good mood
).
