Yes that is a good idea. Obviously I suggest Perth, although I would accept either Melbourne or the Gold Coast, because I can stay there for free.

I think Melbourne is where the majority of Australian PEELers live, and I also wouldn't be able to travel to another city.

It's wierd... there seems to be sizeable PEEL comunites both in Melbourne and in Perth... which leads me to believe that they both are, in fact, the same city in diguise.

I'd go but, y'know. Broke. No car. Lazy.

Bam alex! Perth would be good, but you know how it is. Your all shady...

yes... yes... dang. 

Hey, why not my "yes, dang, yes"? What's wrong with that goddammit!

Yes, Yes, and i'll answer that in a month.

I might be willing to head to Melbourne again, if i have to, but the last meet-up there reminded me how much i hated it, i'm a Rural boy, and i hate hook turns. Any place further than that, i'll be pretty objective to. But we'll play it by ear.
 

We almost had one in January down in Melbourne, but it didn't quite work. There are quite a few of us down here, and I know I can't travel at all.

We did have one... just a piss weak one. Me, MelBee and Robiben...
Robi forgot to call you. Blame him.

Whether it's worth me going is another issue, it's pretty much guarenteed that wherever you have it, will be at least 300km from me.
It's doubtful i'll be able to get thrashed, because of a mixture of 0.0 probation, and (probably) a long drive back.
Maybe i can be the nerdy designated driver. 

Also, work, another problem. My hours are very unpredictable though, so we'll see. Getting time off is easy, but they don't like having anything less than a month's notice. Fucked if i know why, as the rosters are made every week... but anyway...

Anyway, that's all the things that are potentially stopping me, if those things sort themselves out then i'll go.

I'm willing to pick people up, if nessesary, but i'm not going to go too far, and you'll have to put up with my music. 
I can take four people (preferably only three) other than myself in the car, although my car is small, so don't expect a comfy ride. 
And if you want to get picked up, you'll have to go to a place i can find, without driving around for hours looking for it.
If you're desperate for a ride, and you live ages away from me, catch up with me on #fc, we might work something out.

One other thing, Melly will be making it back to Aus, October-ish, which is probably too late, but it's worth mentioning.

I'm in this situation where I need notice before things happen, because I don't really know what's happening.  As for Ben's 'criteria', yes, check back in 1½ years, check back with me in a month.

I live in Adelaide, which nobody else seems to, even though there's a Peel Street.   I'd be more inclined to go to Melbourne than Perth, but theres a possible accomodation problem.  I'm planning to get a job in the next month, so that might put a spanner in the works.  I didn't even think I'd be were I am now looking from two months ago.  Also the middle of June is out, I'm meeting other people (freaks?) then.  Also, I'm sorta broke, no car, no license, though I could finally go and get it [a driver's license].

 

Out of my way!  I'm a motorist!

I would just what to see Jeremy. So, I can run over him.

Heh, people in Perth, i'm writing that one down.

Ok.. so me, ben and Rach can meet up and have our photos taken pre- and post-drinks! Yeah!

Works for me. The rest of you can find us. We'll be the loud ones... 

and i can stand out side, and have some good sober fun!!!, that is if its in sydney. anyway about the whole age thing, i think ill just wait till PEELathon IIIa, cause then ill either be old enough, or at least old enought ot fake it. so enjoy peoples

I meet your criteria, but I'm not leaving south east queensland, I just dont have the time to give up a weekend or more just to meet some internet nerds

EDIT:

Oh that reminds me, Melbee wanted to organise something when she comes back to australia towards the end of the year, but that was going to be in melbourne

We're internet nerds, so lets start acting like it.  Hold three simultaneous AGI's (Perth, Melbourne, Sydney), and have someone at each of them with a laptop, wifi and a webcam.  Problem solved   <IMG SRC="http://peel.gotfuturama.com/ubb/wink.gif">

Seriously, three AGIs at once could work, I would probably goto the one in Melbourne though.  It's only 800 km out of the way.  <IMG SRC="http://peel.gotfuturama.com/ubb/tongue.gif">

You know what would be brilliant?  If Ben was really meek and uninteresting in real life.  I think I may go halfway around the world to see that....but then again he would probably sneer at me and make the occasional mean comment.

Well, it seems over winter I"ll be in Mount Buller at my new job for the season, so I"ll be reasonably close to Melbourne!
So, keep that in mind. Is anybody energised enough to organise this thing?

if you want me to come to melbourne you'll have to wait til Summer

I'm happy to organise/help organise something if it's after 22nd September (when I get back to Australia) and in Melbourne.
How does October sound to you people? Those of you who can make it, anyway. If we don't set a date, you guys'll never meet up  <IMG SRC="http://peel.gotfuturama.com/ubb/wink.gif">
I'm fairly sure for a Melbourne meet we could at least get together Mic, Robiben, Rage, Alex, me (and hopefully Ninaka) at the very least.
Anyone else interested? Can we make it October or November - any preferences on dates?

I would be able to come as long as I'm not swimming.

Hang out, Get shot and be greek. Oh yeah, you can also be cold.
