I live halfway across the earth, and bring up my guilty pleasure.
I'll try and see if I can catch a plane ride.
I've always wanted to go to Sydney.
Okay, my chances of making it are very good. I just have a few issues that need resolving.
Firstly, how much money will I need to bring up with me? What do you anticipate, taking into account lunch and other stuff? Also, will we be going to Pancakes on the Rocks? I love that place, and if you're going to the Bowling/Laser Tag place I'm thinking of, it won't be far away.
Secondly, there is the issue with my parents. My dad will probably turn up with me to Central Station and leave, just so he can get a good look at you guys. My parents are afraid that you guys might be the most elaborate, cunning and patient criminal organisation around, and they are pretty paranoid about me hanging around people I met on the internet. Some wold say they're being protective, some would say they're being over-protective. Me? I think they've been watching Taken one too many times.
Thirdly, thanks for the offer Indigo_Dingo, I would love to come. However, I won't be able to turn up. Shame, I would have loved a beer/games night.
By the way Lab, thanks for organising this. It's a shame I missed last time, but I am anticipating this one with great... anticipation.

Curse you, world! What with your being big and round and putting Australia on the opposite side of you!
Anyhows, I shan't be able to come physically, so I'll mail you folks a life-sized cardboard cutout of me.

If you need someone to say hello to your parents, I'm cool with doing that. Considering my age it might put them more at ease too. I won't turn up in anything too.. extravagant. Great to have you along!Lord Krunk said:
As mentioned in the OP, it looks like the event itself will cost about $37 each. I recommend bringing more for lunch and what not. Would be awesome to go to Pancakes On The Rocks.
Would it make that much of a difference? It'd prod buttocks to have him along!Indigo_Dingo said:
Hmm. I'm considering going. I go to UTS and hence I buy a weekly train ticket to central anyway.
Alright I'm in! Just booked the plane tickets then (160 something bucks later...) I'm going to have to be up at 4.30 in the morning for this... oh well it should be a great day. It better be! (shakes fist) lol. I will catch you guys up there.
Lol, it's amazing the things people would rather have than money eh?Labyrinth said:
I'll be fine to find central. I've been to Sydney a few times before plus the plane gets in at 7.30 so I should be right. I'll be reading a Peanuts comic book (how original!) if you need to find me. Can you please also PM me your mobile at some stage, I'd hate to come up to Sydney just to not find you guys. Thanks a bunch
Can we have Escapism London now please? Sydney's a bit far for me...... Or maybe Paris, I can do Paris, in fact I want an excuse to go there.
I'm starting to think that Adelaide would be the safest Capital city in Australia. Mainly because no one likes Adelaide and they'd have to bye a more expensive plane ticket. That way there'd be a lower chance of having a terrorist attack in Australia's capital if no one wants to travel to it.Fortesque said:
Speeking of Brisbane that reminds me of a conversation I had a thew years ago while playing the Halo demo for the mac.TheRealCJ said:
Last Grunt(ME): Hold on you're from Australia too? What city you're from? Don't tell me if it's Brisbane because everyone in Australia that plays the Halo demo for the mac is from Brisbane.
Maverick: I'm sorry Grunt, but I'm from Brisbane.
I think you don't know you're animation physics. No mater where you dig from, you allways end up in China.rottenbutter said:

Melbourne Victoria or Melbourne California?Onmi said:
Ok I'll stop the same name puns.
Come to Melbourne for the entertainment. Come to Sydney to out source our Tourism industry.Aries_Split said:
Wheather I am going or not, I am still considering.
Edit:
Ok I got one more location punEagle Est1986 said:
Maybe London but no Paris. Unless it's Paris Hilton or Paris Texas.
Not if I take that left turn at Albuquerque. Someone needs a lesson in cartoon geography.Anomynous 167 said:
