Man so blue pearls are dang expensive. That is ok, though, because I like the paua shells better anyway. Now on to Hokitika and some Franz Josef glacier thing. Woo!

Guys guys! Katie will be here on Sunday! She can help us finish moving. Who wants to get some dinner that day? Also, we should make a list of things she could do while we're at work! Vivid festival starts soon so maybe she could check out something, although most things are pretty expensive. We are going to do the lighted buildings walk down macquarie st sometime during the week.
Anyone have awesome ideas?

jmrz · « **Reply #55 on:** 25 May 2010, 18:16 »

I will be there on WEDNESDAY! I am staying at Heather's and I have all of Wednesday so I can hang with Katie! YAY! I have no idea what to do with her though. So uhm... ideas?

Lunchbox · « **Reply #56 on:** 25 May 2010, 18:25 »

I'm taking MONDAY off to show her around.

Probably will just hang out near my place and eat lunch somewhere nice and walk to the ferry and take it to Circular Quay and maybe do the tourist CBD stuff with the Harbour Bridge and Opera House and QVB. It is supposed to be cold and rainy but hopefully we'll get a spot of sun.

Maybe on TUESDAY or WEDNESDAY we could do the Vivid walk up Macquarie street? When do you have to go home Jamie?

I am working on Sunday night, but I will be free as a bird on MONDAY and most likely TUESDAY. Other than that I don't know, because my roster hasn't been written for next week yet.

Lunchbox · « **Reply #58 on:** 25 May 2010, 19:17 »

We should organise a big Sydney QC Group Outing for next Saturday or Sunday (5th and 6th) as she is leaving on the 7th. Also who wants to take her to the airport that day, I will have to work.

jmrz · « **Reply #59 on:** 25 May 2010, 19:37 »

I can go home Thursday. Vivid thing looks awesome! Let's do that!

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #60 on:** 26 May 2010, 01:24 »

I'm available Tuesdays and Sundays though currently my days off are spent frantically looking for apartments so I may or may not be Mr Fun-Times.

Lunchbox · « **Reply #61 on:** 26 May 2010, 03:24 »

I got an email from Katie - she is actually arriving in Sydney on Thursday night but is touristing with her parents until Saturday night, when I'm going to pick her up. I imagine we'll just head back to mine and sit surrounded by boxes with beers in our hands until we fall asleep.

jmrz · « **Reply #62 on:** 26 May 2010, 05:27 »

Wait, which dates? This week or next week?

ViolentDove · « **Reply #63 on:** 26 May 2010, 15:13 »

She arrives today, from what I understand. And will be here until the 7th.

calenlass · « **Reply #64 on:** 27 May 2010, 03:18 »

Nick is right, we just got in from Chch like three hours ago and now I am abusing free wifi from the McDonald's down the street from the hotel in Chippendale. I will be meeting up with Ally on Saturday night. Also, technically I am leaving on the 8th, but I have to be at the airport at like 6:30am, so I will probably get a taxi, and also it doesn't really count as a day spent here.

jmrz · « **Reply #65 on:** 27 May 2010, 06:13 »

I am definitely going to be in Sydney all day Wednesday - got the day off work. Hangouts will happen!

Lunchbox · « **Reply #66 on:** 27 May 2010, 06:21 »

Katie you are so close I can almost TASTE YOU

Inlander · « **Reply #67 on:** 27 May 2010, 07:20 »

Careful with that.

ViolentDove · « **Reply #68 on:** 27 May 2010, 19:26 »

Hey Harry come to Sydney

Inlander · « **Reply #69 on:** 27 May 2010, 19:55 »

Hey Nick buy me a return flight.

Lunchbox · « **Reply #70 on:** 27 May 2010, 22:28 »

Hey Nick I'll put in for one if you will

Inlander · « **Reply #71 on:** 27 May 2010, 22:56 »

Hey Nick and Ally falsify my bank records so that when I next apply for a house it looks like I've had a steady income three pay-cheques in a row even though I've spent several days having fun in Sydney instead of working.

Inlander · « **Reply #72 on:** 27 May 2010, 22:57 »

Please?

calenlass · « **Reply #73 on:** 28 May 2010, 04:30 »

;_;

my heart is broken

Inlander · « **Reply #74 on:** 28 May 2010, 06:39 »

I'm really sorry Katie, it's just that Australia is a stupidly big place and sometimes it's just not feasible to travel from city to city to see people even though I'd really really like to. And I really thought I'd have enough money to travel to Sydney at this time of year but I don't because of a whole bunch of stuff and because Australian "cheap flights" are still stupidly expensive by world standards.

Lunchbox · « **Reply #75 on:** 30 May 2010, 15:02 »

Oh well. I have a katie all to myself! It has been bucketing rain the past two days and also we have been moving house and have no Internet. Katie has been a champ about this. Today we might finally escape the boxes and go into the city. We had a surprise meeting with jimmy yesterday at the shops which was nice! We must all meetup and have dinner sometime this week.

jmrz · « **Reply #76 on:** 30 May 2010, 15:52 »

My vote is for Wednesday night! I am free to hang out with Katie ALL DAY on Wednesday. So uhm, I can take her places and show her things and uhm... feed her? (I don't know what to do with a Katie guys, help).

Ozymandias · « **Reply #77 on:** 30 May 2010, 15:57 »

Make out with her.

ViolentDove · « **Reply #78 on:** 30 May 2010, 21:33 »

Jeeeeez Harry why can't you just live on massive levels of credit card debt like everyone else.

ps. Moving sucks.

pps. Katie brought dark chocolate peanut butter cups. They're pretty good!

Lunchbox · « **Reply #79 on:** 31 May 2010, 18:34 »

I am still not sure what to do with a Katie and I have had one for three days already.
Maybe take her to the Aquarium or Kinokuniya or something nerdy, she has been to the zoo and the Rocks and today is in Newtown with Jimmy and Han.

Inlander · « **Reply #80 on:** 31 May 2010, 18:54 »

Put her on a plane to Melbourne!

Barmymoo · « **Reply #81 on:** 01 Jun 2010, 01:21 »

If you run out of ideas I found she quite likes to sleep and drink good whiskey (not at the same time).

Lunchbox · « **Reply #82 on:** 01 Jun 2010, 04:14 »

I think I have the sleep part pretty well covered but it would cost me a fortune to keep this woman in whiskey.
Hint: try white wine instead.

jmrz · « **Reply #83 on:** 01 Jun 2010, 04:54 »

Heather is pretty sure she is taking the day off. We are going to Plunge for breakfast and I want to go to the bookstore and QVB. How do we obtain a Katie?

Inlander · « **Reply #84 on:** 01 Jun 2010, 05:45 »

I have, like, almost 20 bottles of single malt in my house.

Katie come to Melbourne already.

Lunchbox · « **Reply #85 on:** 01 Jun 2010, 06:01 »

Katie is catching the train to summer hill in the morning! Probably at 10 or 11, we will sort out details in the morning.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #86 on:** 01 Jun 2010, 06:07 »

This thread is awesome, it is like you are all discussing a new puppy that you're sharing.

Lunchbox · « **Reply #87 on:** 01 Jun 2010, 15:53 »

I know! We already compared her to that.
She has a phone but it's really ridiculously expensive to call to and from, so we all have to text and call each other to find out who she is with.

Ozymandias · « **Reply #88 on:** 01 Jun 2010, 22:10 »

You can make her hair look like cocker spaniel ears I bet.

I... I just... augh not fair

Lunchbox · « **Reply #90 on:** 02 Jun 2010, 21:39 »

You still have four days right?
I dunno, catch the train or something.

Or a bus!

calenlass · « **Reply #91 on:** 02 Jun 2010, 21:52 »

Dang, why does the train take as long as the bus? Also that is way cheaper than I thought it would be.

I am seriously tempted. Except you lot will all be free on the weekend to play with. hnnnnnnggggg

Verergoca · « **Reply #92 on:** 02 Jun 2010, 21:57 »

You do realize that "Almost 20 bottles" could also imply he has one bottle of single malt standing about? :p

Lunchbox · « **Reply #93 on:** 02 Jun 2010, 21:59 »

Well Nick and I will be cleaning like cleaning madmen on the weekend, so we're out.
I dunno about Jimmy and Hannah and Ali, but I know Heather said she was free.
But c'mon! You've already seen us! Don't you want to see Harry? And Melbourne?

Lunchbox · « **Reply #94 on:** 02 Jun 2010, 22:00 »

Also if you leave tonight you will be in Melbourne on Friday morning and you can maybe leave on Saturday night and be back to us on Sunday!

Inlander · « **Reply #95 on:** 02 Jun 2010, 22:23 »

The train's a hell of a lot cheaper than the flight back here from the U.S. some time in the dim distant future.
