Okay, I know this is kind of sad, but.... I'm batching it this weekend and I'm looking for something to do in Melbourne on a Friday and Saturday night. It's been a long time since I've had to entertain myself. What should I do? Here's what I like:
- weird shit
- good jazz
- good rock
- arty shit
- watching weird ass people
Suggestions? Anyone up for a poker night at my house?




Come on, own up! Your watching the AFL Grand Final and you kicked the family out, right?

Yeah, and considering we might win the cup again, you'll get even more of it up here if you fly up ;)

sigh, I was hoping I'd get invited to a cool party or something. I shoulda known you geeks would be boring. I need to hang out on some cooler blogs. Geoff, Fringe sounds like the go. Thanks for the reminder dude. I actually offered to podcast the Fringe but they never got back to me, so I'm kind of reluctant to give them my patronage, but I guess I can get over it. :-)

Funny you should mention that Cam, I'm going to a poker night/party on sat night :-p
Posted by: Miriam Parkinson | Wednesday, September 27, 2006 at 04:34 PM

I'm not sure its your scene... Its pretty much an excuse for a bunch of engineering students to get wasted and gamble.

I would have thought you were far to old and mature for that :-p
Posted by: Miriam Parkinson | Wednesday, September 27, 2006 at 04:55 PM
Too old maybe but defiently not more mature.... :P

There's Meetup.com as well, pick a Melbourne one with lots of people already going.
The Fringe is always great, there's always awesome stuff on there. Take your video camera and do some videocasts from the street.

I'm not old! I just *look* old. Come on people. I'm 35. For at least another 2 weeks.

Posted by: Miriam Parkinson | Wednesday, September 27, 2006 at 09:11 PM
Holy shit, you're only 35? You're only two years older than me! Geez, I feel old now. :D
