After months of discussions and saying "We should totally do an Australian Mittens" I have finally booked my plane tickets just several hours ago to fly to Melbourne on the 22nd of October and catch up with Xenogia in what will be possibly the first ever Australian AGS meetup of 2 people from other sides of the continent.
Yes, I know, it's 2 people - slightly less than the usual Mittens count - but come on people! Australian AGSers! Meeting up! It's going to actually happen :D
Oz-dev-a-mitten-a-thon to be exact.
I'll see if I can notify the older Ausies (Kinoko, etc...) for a meeting for you guys! ^_^
Haha it's hard enough getting 2 of us together!
But who knows? It could happen ;D
Yeah damn distance :P
Why Melbourne, of all places?

Because Ben304 is really coming over for my birthday :)
Good prezzie!
Some time time(in a few years) when I've got the money and time, I'd love to get together with some fellow AGSers on a regular basis, so tell me how the two-person version works out!
I even gave Ben304 the option for me to pay for the ticket. But for being the awesome person that Ben is he was more than willing to turn up. That and he has family down in Melbourne :)
Me and DGMacphee, 2002ish was the first. And I've been to 2 mittens and a brittens. I totally owns it on you guys. :=
Be awesome if it happened in Sydney. Because I'm in Sydney! Not that I'm awesome, obviously...
I'm aiming for a place in UNSW, so it's possible I'll be there in a year or two.
I'm not really an active member of the AGS community (more of a lurker), but I'd be interested in coming (if I'm invited). I'm in Melbourne.
For those from Sydney who say its too far, well its only $120 return flight and $100 for a cheap hotel. So $250 and you could make a weekend of it. I'd spend more on alcohol on a Saturday night!
Ben, you should look me up when you go past Perth, for an even first-er, mini-er Ozmittens ;D
Have a good'n! Take your AGS crew to pester Yahtzee and you'll pwn Layabout ;)
I wanna see Ben for my Birthday :( Or talk like a pirate day.
Yeah, we should organise a road-trip up to the Mana Bar some time...
I'm up for future AGS-a-thons :)
Having just left Melbourne on 18th, I'm gutted to have missed this by 4 days :(
Well the weekend was fantastic. Ben304 and I went on a metal club rampage. Did I mention he has a secret of knowing too many Limp Bizkit songs.. Haha

Must have been a terrific time. If you guys have any footage, I'm sure we'd like to see it.
