I know there's a pretty big player meet up happening in Sydney from November 25th to the 27th (ahem), but I'm going to pop over to the west coast for a bit right afterward to see some friends and kick it in Freo/Perth from the 28th to the 1st of December.

I'm not gonna be free every night, but my days are pretty open if any of the westside EVE players out there (especially those who can't make it to EDU) want to maybe snag a beverage and chat with a low level Dev.

Anyone gonna be around?

I'm also pretty willing to entertain suggestions of other activities to keep me busy while my associates are working, so feel free to tell me which coffee shack serves the best "long black" or whatever.

So I'm a Yank who has no way to make it to Australia for this, but I do have a request if you are looking for something to do. Get some pictures of the critters in Eastern and Western Australia and post them. I know the two are very different and that would be really interesting.

Bonus points for pictures of the local animals which will horribly poison you, which is pretty much all of them as I understand...

Last time (2007) I got a close up snap of quokka while cycling around Rottnest.

Not exactly poisonous, but dangerously adorable!

I had to google what that was. Now I want one.

Yeah, I had never heard of them before my friend said "We're going to an island!"

Logibro pretends that stuffed animal on his desk is a wombat, but I know it's a quokka. I know it!

Have been googling stuff in/around Perth. I'm definitely going to be hanging out at some coffee place called Felix & Co., and probably that Northbridge-Subiaco-Nedlands crescent. Or wherever on the Swan. Or the beach. OR ANYWHERE.


I'm so ridiculously excited for this trip.

CCP Antiquarian Hit me up, I'll look at planning something shortly. Might need to look at a venue a little bit bigger than our last meetups

I sometimes consume animal flesh and/or products. So I guess, "No."

But I do like a lot of vegan/vegetarian cuisine.

It would be best to let me know what "planning a thing" might entail sooner rather than later, so we don't accidentally schedule simultaneous events that require me to change outfits as I run back and forth between two rooms making audience appropriate jokes which slowly begin to fade into one another until eventually I forget to remove/hide one piece or another of my outfit and have to concoct a story about why I am dressed as a nanny (or a member of the Latin Kings) which sort of convinces some people but deep down inspires a realization of my curious duplicity about something which ultimately leads to a series of questions regarding my whereabouts and true loyalties until at long last, when confronted by members of both disparate group, in a fit of frustration and powerlessness I collapse to the ground, tear off my outer layer to reveal the dual nature of my apparel, confessing that I've been playing both sides the whole time but that I NEVER MEANT TO HURT ANYONE!

sobbing

...damn you.

Well the usual drinking a copious amount of beer and talk about eve, and since we'll have a real living dev at the table (or one of) we may need more than 3 square tables and about 10 seats...

Little Creatures is great, just gets a bit busy. Haven't been there on a weekday... but it shouldn't be too bad.

And the truth finally comes out after all these years. YOU ARE CCP NAKEDMAN! They told me I was crazy, that you were a myth, but who is laughing now?

Me, reading that year-old thread. I am not CCP Nakedman. I am, however, planning to meet up with the family of one of my friends, and I think they believe that I'm a member of some kind of respectable software development team.

Insanity!

Bnizzle was looking at the 29th and I suggested a BBQ in Kings Park overlooking the Swan river. But if your preference is vegan/vegetarian we can look at something better than a BBQ.

OK, little creatures is a better idea and a bit easier during the week. Let's go with that.
