AUSSIE MITTENS.... Or maybe just getting together to get drunk...

[KANDYMAN-IAC]

Well Allo everyone...

I've just tuned in to discuss a topic I that is ver close to my heart. Socialising... I know that sounds crazy because I have a habit of pissing off for months... to a year at times... then turning up purely to steal everybodies drinks, and throwing up in the entry ways of their tents.

But what it comes down to is that I favour, over the digital medium, is talking to people in person. And the first mitteneers can attest, that when excited I am a real motor mouth.

I have just been informed that there is NO aussie mittens... I think that is sad... and i believe we should rectify this TERRIBLE tragedy.

Okay everybody who is an aussie raise their hands... mention where they are, when in the year they could get time off... their favourite idea of a meeting point... And then lets get together and have a Jolly good time.

with drinks, entertainment, BAD karaoke, video games, showing off, maybe an amusement park... and partying like its nineteen ninety five...

I'll go first.... *waves hand* I am in Melbourne, I can make myself free, and i'll go anywhere (except perth... or darwin... cos they are holes)

[[Cameron]]

I'm in Geelong. Any time during the school holidays. Sydney is always good for a laff.

[Kinoko]

I'm in Brisbane and can go... somewhere around Brisbane! Somewhere not too far, and it also needs to be before August for me ^_^; Given these two conditions, I probably won't be able to make it. Still, that's me.

[KANDYMAN-IAC]

Brisbane would be nice... preference on brisbane over sydney... sydney is a little bit icky for me....



personal reason, due to my exish-girlfriends ex boyfriend...

[Kinoko]

I just think Sydney sucks I hate that place.

[Timosity]

I cant really get out of Sydney, I have one week off every 3 months, and that's it, my last day off this quarter is tomorrow. haven't even noticed I've had a break with easter in there.

I just think Sydney sucks I hate that place.

Please, that coming from a Brisbanite

In all seriousness though, it doesn't seem like any of the aussies who frequent here have the time to organise this properly.

I'd say it would be easier for people who live nearby to organise meetings with each other (and not just australians)

Byron would have been really nice, but obviously no one had the time to organise it or someone would have stuck their hand up, which is sad, but understandable as I have no time either (or relative with an available cottage).

have fun if anyone gets together, and have a beer for me

[DGMacphee]

I'm in Brisbane. Can go anywhere in Brisbane. Byron sounds nice, though I've never been. But I want to sometime soon.

Glad you suggested it, Kandy.

[Andail]

Get with the program, mates, mittens will be in athens this year.

You can call your lousy meeting something else.
Like...hm...the lousy...down-under...-meeting.

[DGMacphee]

DownUnderPants

[edmundito]

It's good that you guys are goin with an "Australiens"! The aussies are big in the community, and they deserve to kick it as a group, even if that bitch, Pumaman, ain't going...

I just think Sydney sucks I hate that place.

Why?! It has that awesome opera house! You could guys go there and stuff...

[Las Naranjas]

Sydney would only really have been on the agenda if foreigners were coming, but not enough had the commitment to the Mittens ideal.

For shame rest of world.

What would Australians do there except bleed money?

[KANDYMAN-IAC]

DownUnderPants... Sounds good... I like it

mmmmmm... how many aussies are there? there is DG, layabout, kinoko, me, las.... ummm oranges. But who else is there??

Cos the last time i looked the I couldn't get bloddy ags map to work...

[Mr_Frisby]

There's Me! And I sure am cool - cooly,cool,cool!

Probably can't make it unless it's in VIC though - so I'm not quite that cool.
But if you guys figure something out then maybe I could get some time off or somethin'.







p.s. Life Aquatic rules!

[auhsor]

Theres me too, but I'm not sure if I could make it. I have uni commintments, as well as work and stuff. I live in Wollongong btw, which is fairly close to Sydney.

I guess alot of us ausiies are too lazy to organise stuff

[Peter Thomas]

I'm in Brisbane! Can go... TO BRISBANE! Yay! To travel any further for me would jeapordize my work, which I'd rather not do at this point in time.

I could take you all out on a fabulous night clubbing in The Valley. Of course, at some point I'd end up dragging you all along to a gay club (The Beat, most likely)... They're not bad, though. Not like what you see on Queer as Folk. In all honesty, if you were to walk into The Beat, you'd think we homosexuals were actual normal people with actual normal souls. None of these pole dancing queers. Just good dancing, good music and good alcohol. The scariest part is probably the one or two drag queens that show up. Why am I talking about this like it's already been decided?

Of course, if the clubbing scene is overrated then I'm up for most anything else. Except 'bloke' stuff. I refuse to go to the motor show for fun. Theme parks, bars/pubs, arcades, all that stuff is fine. Just don't make me look at an engine

[Kinoko]

I prefer sitting around, eating junk, drinking beer, drinking beer, talking about stuff, having fun, drinking beer...

[KANDYMAN-IAC]

Dude... "BLOKE" stuff... yeah as if, not gonna happen, I hate cars and motor sports... plus we all have a rather nerdy side hence the adventure games... though I think as a rule you would have to be dragged up to some titty bars. I'm sorry thats just the way it is, if you make up go up to gay clubs, then you will have to live through a night at an aussie hooters equivilant.

clubbing is possible. Although i am offically the worlds worst dancer, i think i just lost out on audiotion for a six month gig on a cruiseship because I move better on fire than to music.

Get this, singers get passenger status, their own private rooms, access to all facilities... only work every second day, for an hour only. Accomodation and meals provided (not alcohol unfortunately) and get paid a thousand dollars a week TAX FREE.

WHY THE %^&$ would i stay on dry land...

(For all not aware, for the last 4 months I have been planning to be a jazz lounge singer, and have to two highly trained singing teachers pushing me to do it .... Whhhhhheeeeeeeee!!)

[KANDYMAN-IAC]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm beeeeeeeeeeeeer

[DGMacphee]

Actually, count Layabout out. He's buggered off to the UK.

[Scummbuddy]

now you guys get a whole other year to plan for aussie mittens. and if i get a whole year to save for an australian mittens, then that may be possible. definitly have your downunderpants, but next year, we'll see if we can get some of the upper hemisphere to come over.
