Oh yeah, this thing!

We also have a couch if anyone needs to sleep on something soft and couchy. I live with five other people and a dog though, so I guess it might not suit people who don't like large crowds of awesome housemates?

You're not dumb. You're just excited that's all.
Now take a deep breath and tell me how many sleeps until Sydney.



Is it okay for a non-Australian to post here? Or am I part of what's killing the forums?

well mostly because you are the only one I have met that can't be included in 'Sydney kids'.

So when did my body double tell you what the deal was.

Also I am clearly dumb because it is in 3 weeks not 2.  SIGH.

You were probably thrown off by the fact that I finally got around to taking time off for this which was probably scheduled for next week.

Brett I don't have time to miss you, I see you all the dang time.

Also mostly I am just really excited and trying to move it forward a week by sheer FORCE OF WILLPOWER.  it didn't work though, obviously.  because here we are still with 3 weeks to go.

Well the absolute certainty that I started out with that I would be at this thing is slowly dripping away, but assuming I can sort things out at my end then I shall be there and if this is the case then Gil I would be ever so thankful to take up your offer of a place to stay (that is if the offer still stands and you're ok having a guy you barely know crashing with you)

Should be fine axerton, how many days would you be staying for? Also you'll probably be sleeping on an air mattress if you're lucky and I still have it or a bunch of cushions if you're not so I hope that's cool.

Heaps excited to see everyone again.
Jimmy, I shall PM you regarding details for getting in touch etc!
Lunchy, Jamie and Jimmy, I have your numbers already. Anyone else who wants to get in contact, PM your details!

Okay, the Saturday would probably be a no-go for me, but I could possibly head to Sydney on the Saturday after work, hang out on the Sunday and come back home Sunday night.

I shall figure out whether the boy will come with me, and if so, where we will stay.

EDIT: I could probably make an additional day trip on the Monday or Tuesday or whenever day Rizzo is going to be there. I work Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

For a moment there I misunderstood and thought you were coming to Sydney "to do a job".

Are we all in on this job? Do we need nicknames? I bags "Mumbles".

Sweet, I figured it wouldn't be too hard I am just terrified that I will lose Jodie and then wind up stuck in Sydney forever doing pills and going clubbing because that is all I know how to do.

Actually this is a pretty good idea

Should we start PMing relevant persons our phone numbers? (and in some cases real names I guess unless we basically want to powernerd our way through the whole thing)

Lunchy is still going to be called Lunchy though because that is a pro name.

As a lazy, lazy man I am obligated to ask:

which of your two abodes is easiest to get to from the airport, and closest to wherever most of the shit is going down.

Also I am not sure if I should crash in the same house with Dovey unless I have paid some kind of bond on it, because we are basically the worst people when we are together.

(Also I realised I have your number AND name Jimmy so that is sorted)

You know how in The Castle there is that shot of the whole family just walking home from the airport? Yeah.

Also it is basically a 10 minute busride into Newtown or a 30 minute busride (same bus) into the CBD.

Sorry Violent Dove, Jimmy has stone cold pulled it out of the hat. (I will pay for all damages) Will you be home Thursday around lunchish or should we find something to do to kill time? I think we are doing that anyway because Lunchy is working or some proletariat garbage

Jimmy is picking us up from the airport Brett, as far as I know.  Which means he will be able to entertain us!  Hopefully Han will join the fun.

Oh man I am so excited about seeing everyone again.

Departing Sydney:
Virgin Flight DJ437

And also: Are we definitely definitely doing the fancy dress-ups bocce picnic day? Because I am entirely willing to bring a suit, but only if it's going to be worn.

I am bringing a button up shirt and there would be no need for that whatsoever if we weren't so I am assuming that it is on.

(And it is on, my Turkey)

PS in 24 hours I will be lying in bed waiting for the sun to come up so we can get up and go to the airport holy shit this is a couple of days away. I hope I am not too much of a jerk in real life for you people, I made some pretty awesomely bad decisions lately and need to lay off the booze as a result so I will probably not wind up doing anything too disgraceful.

Also it looks like I'm picking everybody* up from the airport, or at least meeting them there. Except for Harry. Because that dude knows where it's at (also he's not staying at my place).
