[Tim Major]

I'm probably looking to fly up Friday and return Sunday night, posted in the Melbourne thread but who's willing to share a room?

 

[bran]

We'll probably have Melbourne Cube Day 2013 in Tarneit the weekend before or after the Melbourne Cup (horse racing) in early November.

Tim.

Woohoo Tarneit, that's where I live.

Hello everyone, TOASTMAN here,

I had 3 goals for this year:

1) Finish and sell my screenplay (Duck Duck KAPOW, Kung-Fu Cookery. Think Jackie Chan meets MasterChef). Have finished the 4th draft and have interested buyers.
2) Kiss a pretty girl. DONE. Alas I live in Sydney and she in Melbourne. But she's MINE. Some of you have met me, right? I'm about 6'2" in boots. SHE'S TALLER THAN ME! Total hottie. Geek goddess. Unix admin by day. Works walking distance to RMIT. I'm trying to get her 3x3x3 avg sub 60.
3) a BLD solve in competition.

Canberra is a right-royal pain to get to... but if I can get my shot at a BLD solve, then from here for the next 30 days I'm going to be practising the heck out of my M2 and memo.

But the bonus is the 7th is my birthday! And I'll be gettin' DRONK'^H^H^H^H^H^H (Eating pizza and lemonade) afterwards.

Assuming y'all know that 7th is the Federal election. Can Tim McMahon confirm that "It's ALL ON like KING KONG!"?


Alas I'm RUSTY, I used to be ~30secs. I'm barely 50 now, and have forgotten my E and F perms, and most of my OLLs. But who cares! CANBRA!

Fewest Moves Megaminx?

 

[toastman]

Of course there's a train... Gee wizz, you kids live in one of the greatest countries in the world and you don't even realise the benefits that come with it...

Crikey, Don't know if you've actually tried to catch a train from anywhere in Sydney to anywhere else and be on time for something at 9am. Suffice to say, it's probably easier to get a train from Auckland to Invercargill.

 

[Dene]

Lol ya well Sydney sucks, you don't need to tell me any more about that .

I'm pretty sure trains don't go through the ocean, so somehow I don't think there's one going from Auckland to Invercargill

 

[RCTACameron]

It seems possible that I'll be able to go. But I would probably have to leave around 5 for the flight back, so that might mean missing a few finals. :/

 

[Dene]

We'll be finishing early. It hasn't been decided yet, but I'd say we'll finish around 2 or 3.

EDIT: And before everyone goes purchasing flights, there may be a few seats available for carpooling if people are interested. This is still a work in progress so no guarantees.

 

[Logical101]

You can go on an Murray's bus for like 50$ of so, and on the bus you will have 3 hours to get extra sleep or practice for your events, but the busses start at 9 am so you will miss a fair bit of the event

 

[Samster779]

Thanks, that sounds awesome!

And, great news. I am pretty sure i have made enough money to go to Nationals!

Checking on the murrays website, the earliest bus is 6.00 am from Sydney. So you can arrive on time.

I'm going there on the 6th so I don't somehow get late and miss 2x2 or something
