[Melb] 5th (sort of annual) Goon 'n' Coon ~ Sat 8th Jan

[sir pacman]

Started new thread as same event but new year and hope to see a few familiar faces and a few new ones!

Special thanks to Katmeow as I blatently copied your post. Now I just have to work out how to copy your map! :D


The Wine and Cheese Appreciation Picnic (aka Goon 'n' Coon)

Location: Royal Botanic Gardens
Proposed date: Sat 8th Jan 2011
Time: 12pm onwards
Bring: Some tasty wine & cheese to share, picnic rug etc

I'll dig out the map at a later point, but we'll aim for the usual spot which is the lake just in from gate D.


Frequently asked questions:

I don't like wine and/or cheese. Will you still accept me?

1. You are a heathen.

2. You can still come along. You should probably bring some grapes as a peace offering.

It is the middle of summer and way too hot for me. Why should I venture outside my house?

We secure a most excellent location underneath some trees. Trees = shade. Shade = at least 10 degrees cooler than the outside of shade temperature.
The Botanical Gardens staff also encourage people to swim in the lake, so bring your swimmers.

12pm is too early for me to get out of bed. Why should I sacrifice my beauty sleep?

The gardens are only open during the day, thus it is a daytime event. Besides, if you need to take a nap, we will respect you. Just ask 1234.

I really can't see myself arriving before 8pm. Will you kick on?

Yes, after festivities may feature such events as house parties, leading a choir on the tram or drinking jugs of cider in dodgy backpacker pubs.
The gardens will probably sweep us out around 8 - 8.30. Who knows where the night will take us.



Who's in?

*writes date in my diary*

i remember year before last it being so hot and three of us lugging carton's worth of beer from Flinders- drinking on the way only to lighten the load of course..

 

[cyberia_rwc]

Even though I'm a noob I'd love to come along and meet some friendly Melbourne Bluelighters

 

[miss_goody2shoes]

^^ you definately should! we are a cool, friendly* bunch
and always good to meet new peeps





(* no gurantees)

Wow it's been years since I've caught up with bluelighters (well, most anyway) - I'm actually interested to see how people have developed in life (I'm quietly pretty happy with how far I've come along) - wonder if others feel the same sense of well-being?

I'm tentatively in pending on some old faces circa 05'-07' making an appearance, whether or not we liked each other way back then .

Have fun everyone, Pop and I have a heap on that weekend.

 

[up all night]

I don't know how to read calendars and apparently I won't be in Melbs on the 8th after all. Oh well.

I may not be coming as I have to work some extra shifts to support my addiction to crack (jk) but nah I gotta work so I have more money for the mighty serpent, but if any of you lads and ladettes find yourself at the mighty serpent maybe see/meet you guys/gals there.
