Momos and shouting!
posted January 13, 2015 8:13 PM RSS | iCal | +googleCal
Sat January 31 at 8:00 PM, Casa de taff
Summer Hill Station railway underpass, Summer Hill NSW 2130, Australia (Map & Directions)
It's been a while since the last meetup. Let's get together to eat momos and play board games.
Location: Summer Hill, at Casa de Taff. Taff will email her address to attendees.
Food: Potluck! Everyone bring a plate of some sort of delicious foodstuff. Taff will compel Mr Taff to make the aforementioned delicious momos as an entree.
BYO booze (if you are so inclined), and board games that you wish to play. I will supply the horribly offensive but very fun Australian edition of Cards Against Humanity, and the very silly but highly enjoyable Pucket!

Oh boo, I can't come. I'll be in Marrickville at the Skid Row dinner that night. If by chance any other Sydney MeFites will be there, message me and let's say hello to each other there. And yes to another meetup soon. I'm new-ish and would love to meet some of you.

I can do basically any other day ever, apart from between the 2nd and the 9th of February. I'm still hoping that the 31st will be cool, too, but i won't know until closer to the time, and anyway it sounds like almost no one else can make it then.
Other people, throw bones!

I am TBC, just because I've been leaning on my partner's hospitality with kid-wrangling for a few weekends in a row by that weekend, and I need to make sure she's cool with it. But logistically, I'm pretty sure there's nothing on...

Sorry, it's been a rough week and today some spectacularly absurd stuff happened. Yes, as we seem to have a quorum, we're on. I'll confirm it.

OK gang, all confirmed.
Who's bringing what foodage? I nominate myself for chocolate chip biscuits, which I am good at. Made with Haigh's dark chocolate couverture, no less.

I'm afraid I'll have to be boring with foodstuff and grab something from a shop on my way, as we'll be spending the day escorting a visitor around the sights of Sydney and won't have time to cook, or go home in between. So that in mind, I'm happy to pick up whatever food component we are likely to need and that can be reasonably sourced somewhere between the CBD and Taff's house. Breads? Deli stuff? Berries? A roast chicken? All of the above?

All others, hit me up via email or facebook for my address. Lollusc and mollusc (and beloved smoke?) we can pick you up from summer hill or Lewisham or Ashfield train stations. Or you can catch a bus...the 413 I think. Anyhoo come one, come all, and bring whatever you like.
Booze and munchies and spare undies!

Dayum. I was gonna give you a spool of NBN to tuck in to your blazer pocket to take home with you.
If you should end up changing your mind, we're on a bus route and you can leave early if you want to. Email me if you get game.

Also, it seems like people are pretty busy and may not want to cook. We can always order in - Da Vinci's pizza in Summer Hill is great, and there's plenty of other food around.
Instead of baking, I will go get fresh baklava.

Momos are meat filled (beef) so anyone wanting vegetarian alternatives might want to consider that. I'll attempt raita.

Smoke! Your failure to attend has resulted in a recounting of the time when you spoke harshly but reasonably to taff about some fraught business regarding a cat that suffered at the point of her hose. We are judging the you of 2009.

Found it. Damn, what a frigging hoo ha, MeFites really are crazy about cats look at all those responses after resolution. My answer rocked! And I'm glad I didn't tell you not to spray the cat, that little fucked deserved a dousing. I can tell I didn't have kids reading that, my patience has, alas, been wholly diverted now. These days I probably would have been telling you to put some piss and stinky tofu in a water pistol!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to meet so many top shelf folks.

I have ordered some expansion packs, so if we do a next round, it will be 20% more offensive.
