So anyway [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.85608] the idea was put forward and people have said yes. Just reminding you that on April the 18th, we will be having a second Sydney Escapist meet-up (Escapism). The last one [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.80224] was a lot of fun, so I'd encourage everyone to come along to this time. Details are as follow, and any updates will be noted here.
Where to meet: Sydney Central train station. I'll be hanging around outside of the food places opposite the turnstiles. Just say hello, I intend to wear my bowler and a Labyrinth Red Star [http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s46/Labyrinth_11/LabyrinthRedStar.jpg] by way of identification.
When: Meeting at 9:30 - 10:00 am, Saturday 18th April 2009. UPDATE: Our Laser Skirmish games are booked for 11am and 11:30am, with a game of bowling right after that. From there, lunch somewhere. BEING EASTER THERE IS TRANSPORT FUCKERY. DON'T FORGET TO CHECK YOUR TRANSPORT [http://www.131500.info/realtime/newjourney.asp].
What's planned: From Central, we plan to move off to Darling Harbour where there is a sports area, for a day of Laser Tag and Bowling. Costumes and role-play is welcome though not essential, so turn up in a character if you'd like. The Laser Tag and Bowling is estimated to cost $38 per person, as we're intending to book ahead so RSVP is preferred. Just leave your name in this thread to confirm, we'll no doubt have a few empty spots if people do turn up on the day. EDIT: A note on the costume. If you want to play laser tag, they require sensible shoes and pants. If you bring a bag to put these in while strutting around in a more extravagant outfit that's fine, just please remember to have suitable clothes along.
Contact: If you want a phone number, PM me for my mobile in case things go pear-shaped etc.
A number of people have already said they're coming, do let me know if you want to be added or removed from this list..

EDIT: I'm currently looking for someone who has a video camera they're willing to bring along so we can do a sort of interview thing to post on the Escapist. Hopefully it'll inspire more people to do their own meet-ups instead of just whinging in jealousy.
EDIT: Indigo Dingo has offered to come in a complete costume, suggested by The Escapist. Details here [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/jump/18.103637.1643320]
EDIT: Confirmation details in the "When" section. Also, there has been a proposal that we go to The Powerhouse Museum's StarWars display. Input needed, suggestions, etc. Look here. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/jump/18.103637.1662079]
EDIT: Yes, transport fuckery. Cityrail's decided to put up amended services of this time when means there'll be buses at weird hours and the like. Please please please ensure you get it right. I only just noticed this while checking to see times.
EDIT: Does anyone have a hand-held camcorder? I'd like someone to film. Details here [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/jump/18.103637.1788148].
EDIT: Ohhh, my bad. I just realised I'd typoed the per-person cost. It's $38, not $37. Sorry everyone.
Recount is here. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.108007]
