Fri March 22 at 5:00 PM, Courthouse Hotel
202 Australia Street, Newtown NSW 2042, Australia (Map & Directions)
I'm back in Sydney for the week. Who's up for a beer at the Courthouse?
We'll be at The Courthouse Hotel, Newtown, Friday 22 March, 5pm onwards. There'll likely be non-Mefites in attendance, but you should be able to pick me out of the crowd.
Mustachioed or not? It threw arha and I at the last Courthouse meeting.
Rereading that thread from 2008/9, web-goddess - you were retrenched! Is it some sort of zamboniinoz curse?

Mustachioed! I grew it back specifically to avoid confusion. We might be able to do Chippo as well- Thursday is Royal Easter show, but Friday could be doable.

WHATTHEHELL. It totally is a zamboniinoz curse!
Be sure to check out the knitting when you go to the Show. On account of how you actually know a BLUE RIBBON WINNER. *beams*

I'm now confirmed in. Weird interface. You have to hit the 'maybe' button to be a 'yes'. Looking forward to it.
Just hope I don't get retrenched as a result. Although looking at past results — you get retrenched if you don't turn up.

Surprised at the lack of comment here. Sending out a last minute sydneymefite email now.

If it's a curse, it's not a bad one. Got two job offers yesterday and accepted one of them. :)
See you tonight then!

Excellent. Also, congrats on the blue ribbon - "CATRIONA BROWN CABLED VEST". But what intrigues me is your 2nd place getter - "SELF-REPLICATING MITTENS WITH QR CODE". Might have to go to the show just to see what that looks like!

Catching a bus over from Chippo now. Will be on the lookout for he-who-shall-not-be-named-tellurian and a mustachioed man.

New tack: I'm in a red blouse by the main bar. I've done two laps but haven't recognised any mustaches...

I should be able to do Friday. I got retrenched last week so I find myself currently a Lady of Leisure. OR you could come to Chippo Friday during the day, say hello to the old neighbourhood, and we could have a quiet one at the Duck & Swan!
