SYD Drinks - 23 October

[medhead]

Oh no. I've packed inappropriately. Only have one pair of shoes, black work shoes. History tells me they don't work with shorts....

 

[dfcatch]

I'm so used to fires something would be amiss without the smell in the air.....

 

[AstroDamo]

Hopefully I'll be awake in time, going to be an effort to wake up by 16:00 We'll see how I go.

The Chateaux Ewing menu looks excellent. Hope you all have a great time.

I am very jealous

Yes, I've also realised that I failed to think the wardrobe through properly for an evening outing and have only packed my usual work gear. Oh well.. business attire it will have to be. And if the temperature is going to be an arctic 22 degs, I may have to bring my jumper...

We can compromise on the indoor temperature. It does have controls :mrgreen:

What I can tell you is that the first thing I'll be doing when I get home is to get out of my business attire and get changed into jeans and a comfy polo shirt. I am melting

 

[dfcatch]

Official update is I will be cabbing from Hilton around 6pm.

If anyone else is here and wants to share - PM me.

I'll be in lobby at 6.

As long as you're dressed. The first thing I did was throw off my work clothes (business shirt and pants).

[AstroDamo]

Sorry had to run off to work guys. Was good to meet you all

 

[Aeolus]

Thanks for the great evening everyone and huge thanks to Ewing for hosting the pre-dinner drinks. Great fun!

 

[medhead]

It was a great night. I almost booked a seat on the flight tomorrow. Except even with free bubbly At $139 JQ is out for me.

 

[dfcatch]

Thanks all for the great company.

The comments I received afterwards were along the lines of "OMG you guys are amazing - I can't believe you've worked out how to do all that".

Followed by - "so how much will it cost me to get to SG?"

Thanks to Ewing (and Missy and the coughy) for the very gracious provision of pre-dinner drinks and entertainment!

 

[Ewing]

Thanks for the enjoyable evening all, and to dfcatch for kicking off the idea.

I might look at making it a more regular occurrence in Sydney. It's certainly easier to arrange than getting everyone into an executive lounge, and much cheaper than going out to a bar (not to mention easier to chat).

It also occurred to me that we didn't get around to any of the other nibbles that I purchased (I had dips, etc) but given how full we all were after Hugos perhaps that's a good thing
