Blog Meetup Day?

Oh no, Ong's Food Court is one of the venues. That's a dodgy, seedy place if ever there was one. At least the third choice is a respectable establishment; one can consume fine Irish ales such as Caffrey's (yum!).

bah. these people don't know how to organise a blogmeet.

i.e., a piss-up in a brewery?

Well in Adelaide I've got a choice between a dodgy franchise coffee shop, a yuppie North Adelaide "pub" who charge $5.50 for a beer, and a pub on King William street where stockbrokers hang out. Who came up with these places?

Britneybloggers or wankers, I would gather.

I think it was meetup.com, which appears to be some sort of US-based dot-com. Presumably they found them in a guide to Melbourne, and possibly put in the local Starbucks for each city as part of a promotion deal.

Well, I don't mind going into Starbucks once in a while. I can sit down and have a nice frosted cup of frappacino, and know that I have done my Evil Deed for the day.

> Britneybloggers or wankers, I would gather.

what about britneywankbloggers ... erm

i wonder if we'll end up underground spraypainting graffiti and the goatse.cx dude on the walls like the somethingawful.com guys did when they went to sydney last weekend.

Looks like it's at Starbucks. Bugger that then. Let the warbloggers and britneybloggers have their McCoffee(tm) by themselves.

Yes, stuff it I think i will go to the Darebin Book Appreciation Society meeting (it being the 3rd Thursday of the Month of course).
