I might try to overcome my shyness for this but I dunno

― spectra (spectra), Sunday, 3 September 2006 08:10 (twenty years ago)

well that didn't make me sound like a potential guest with any appeal whatsoever

― spectra (spectra), Sunday, 3 September 2006 08:11 (twenty years ago)

Shyness is nice (but shyness can stop you from doing all the things you want to).

― Domenico Buttez (ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!!), Sunday, 3 September 2006 10:11 (twenty years ago)

come along, spectra!

buttez yr excuse is "I'm internets personality esteban buttez, and I am looking to further my brand exposure in the eastern states".

― genital hyphys (haitch), Sunday, 3 September 2006 10:45 (twenty years ago)

ButtezCorp needs a government grant if it is to promote the brand in the major markets.

And an excuse for me boss.

― Domenico Buttez (ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!!), Sunday, 3 September 2006 12:36 (twenty years ago)

Hello. I'm both very drunk and very much up for this (the clue's in the name).

I guess it depends on where people are, but I know a few good places in CBD, Kilda, Prahran, Fitzroy etc,

Unless of course you mean Melbourne, Florida.

CAR CITY AT RINGWOOD

It's a city...made out of...CARS!

― Domenico Buttez (ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!!), Sunday, 3 September 2006 13:25 (twenty years ago)

And bogans.

― S- (sgh), Sunday, 3 September 2006 13:28 (twenty years ago)

"Keep your eyes open for a bogan... Car City!"

― Huey in Melbourne (Huey in Melbourne), Sunday, 3 September 2006 13:29 (twenty years ago)

I never did make it to the mythological Car City.

But one day...one day...

― Domenico Buttez (ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!!), Sunday, 3 September 2006 14:24 (twenty years ago)

Can i put my hand up and say pls no, not Horse Bazzar? It was far too small and crammed and noisy. I am less able to cope with people and noisy bars an' shit these days. Where's somewhere wot might actually be quiet on a friday night (haw, sif)

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 4 September 2006 05:25 (twenty years ago)

ok! car city it is!!

― genital hyphys (haitch), Monday, 4 September 2006 05:33 (twenty years ago)

roffles

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 4 September 2006 05:37 (twenty years ago)

they have a cafe, you know.

― genital hyphys (haitch), Monday, 4 September 2006 05:40 (twenty years ago)

I reckons we should go to Pause but I am lazy, and I know Sash hates the place, so um... fuck knows.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 4 September 2006 05:40 (twenty years ago)

I'm for the less noisy too! what about something more of a pub than a bar?

― spectra (spectra), Monday, 4 September 2006 07:42 (twenty years ago)

That sounds like a nice idea. When donut was here, we started off at the Local in Balaclava which got crazy busy - we went down the road to meet up with Mikey at Pause only find it overrun like I have never seen in my life with birthday parties. So we ended up at an old man/family pub that did lovely food and drink and hardly anyone was in. Dunno if the others liked it, but I did.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 4 September 2006 08:25 (twenty years ago)

There are no pubs left in St. Kilda area are there?

― S- (sgh), Monday, 4 September 2006 10:20 (twenty years ago)

a urinal with an LED screen set into it

do you get to wee onto the screen?

― gem (trisk), Monday, 4 September 2006 10:28 (twenty years ago)

You do! I seem to recall my Nick coming back from the mens that night (or wait - was it you, H?) saying he'd peed on Shane Warne's face, or sommat.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 4 September 2006 11:26 (twenty years ago)

It probably was the actual Warney he pissed on, y'know.

― Domenico Buttez (ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!!), Monday, 4 September 2006 11:34 (twenty years ago)

well, gosh.

― genital hyphys (haitch), Monday, 4 September 2006 11:37 (twenty years ago)

also it was an LCD screen, I should clear that up.

― genital hyphys (haitch), Monday, 4 September 2006 11:39 (twenty years ago)

As the special guest from canberra some of these places might be rub for me as I haven't confirmed where I am staying. In fact, I might not have AN BED that night, which is rub due to a friend of mine FLYING TO BLOODY ADELAIDE. Adelaide!

― edward o (edwardo), Monday, 4 September 2006 12:13 (twenty years ago)

Update: I am now informed it was Nick, and it was Michael Flatley's face he pissed on.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 4 September 2006 12:16 (twenty years ago)

Adelaide?

― Domenico Buttez (ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!!), Monday, 4 September 2006 12:16 (twenty years ago)

If yr desperate you can stay at ours Ed - we have a spare bed but we smoke and have a cat so if you're icked by that be warned!

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 4 September 2006 12:17 (twenty years ago)

Trayce, I might take you up on that. Nick doesn't hate me does he! (lol, haha). I heart cats, and both my parents smoked so I'm totally unaffected.

Yes, Esteban, someone visited Adelaide. Of their own accord! And she wanted me to see her nice new flat too, but she's having fun, so hooray for that.

― edward o (edwardo), Monday, 4 September 2006 12:21 (twenty years ago)

Trayce please be gmailing me your mobile number.

― edward o (edwardo), Monday, 4 September 2006 12:43 (twenty years ago)

confirmed earlier today: adam will NOT be making an appearance!!

― genital hyphys (haitch), Monday, 4 September 2006 12:59 (twenty years ago)

Quelle surprise

― edward o (edwardo), Monday, 4 September 2006 13:13 (twenty years ago)

there's a weird pub down the road from me here (west brunswick) - a few weeks ago I saw it full of bikies, they looked really tough but a couple of them had top hats on

― spectra (spectra), Monday, 4 September 2006 13:15 (twenty years ago)

Depending on my financial status, I may be a show-er. Can regale you with my gameshow tales, I can.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Monday, 4 September 2006 21:09 (twenty years ago)

RIGHT. I ARE OFF TO THE MELBOURNE, I don't know what intranot I will have. So if you peeps are all confirmed, someone send me an SMS. My number is oh four oh nine eight one eight one seven nine.

(Can we get a controversial moderator edit on this after Friday, pls?).

― edward o (edwardo), Monday, 4 September 2006 22:14 (twenty years ago)

Shit I didnt realise you were off already Ed!

I'll SMS you now.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 4 September 2006 23:30 (twenty years ago)

Spectra, which pub?

― S- (sgh), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 00:48 (twenty years ago)

So hey, can we come to a consensus on where to fap on fridee? I'll need to tell Ed via sms I guess.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 01:41 (twenty years ago)

I'm still here, I'm just leaving after work today, then off to The Geelong and won't be checking intranot until Friday at the earliest.

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 01:43 (twenty years ago)

is TEH RETREAT in brunswick too obvious a pick? it has some nice nooks and crannies.

― genital hyphys (haitch), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 02:23 (twenty years ago)

I don't know if I'll be able to make it: move to new house + must practise for this:

http://static.flickr.com/81/234566346_440fe41c6d_o.jpg

It's ambient stuff; not our strong suite.

Beer at the Retreat sucks balls; it's flat and stale. However there are shitloads of other good joints near there.

― S- (sgh), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 02:26 (twenty years ago)

I would not have an effing clue how to get to Brunswick either - so please, I'd rather not if its possible :/ Cant we pick somewhere central?

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 02:39 (twenty years ago)

Tho, I know the CBD is crap and doesnt really have any nice pubs. Hm. I mean - Spleen is ok, as long as you can get in early...

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 02:48 (twenty years ago)

central is OK by me. I'm not really worried either way!

― genital hyphys (haitch), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 03:10 (twenty years ago)

...the hell I'm going to Brunswick.

Central is good - why doncha head out Richmond way?

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 04:23 (twenty years ago)

Hey I know! What about Hubcap in Burnley st? Its roomy and usually pretty dead even on Fridays.

Drinks aint cheap tho.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 04:25 (twenty years ago)

OK, we need a decision. I'm making it. hubcap it is!

― genital hyphys (haitch), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 11:28 (twenty years ago)

Everyone knwo how to gets theres?

It is on the corner of Burnley st and Bridge rd in Richmond (so easy to get to on the bridge rd tram).

Just get orff the tram at the Burnley st interseckshun. Then cross the road to yr left, start walking up burnley st. You'll pass a PC shop on the corner. Next door to it is a very nondescript looking white painted brick garagey shed. Blink and yer'll miss it.

Thats Hubcap.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 7 September 2006 01:07 (twenty years ago)

So like, is anyone GOING to this thing?

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 7 September 2006 03:36 (twenty years ago)

me.

Next door to it is a very nondescript looking white painted brick garagey shed.

with a hubcap above the door, which seems appropriate.

― genital hyphys (haitch), Thursday, 7 September 2006 04:13 (twenty years ago)

Have we set a time? Is it just gonna be you me and Ed, or waht?

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 7 September 2006 04:21 (twenty years ago)

Me.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Thursday, 7 September 2006 04:49 (twenty years ago)

― S- (sgh), Thursday, 7 September 2006 05:11 (twenty years ago)

― miele kitty (miele), Thursday, 7 September 2006 05:23 (twenty years ago)

― Huey in Melbourne (Huey in Melbourne), Thursday, 7 September 2006 07:21 (twenty years ago)

Sidle up to any gothic looking people and say 'ILX' out of the corner of your mouth.

HAHAHAH =)

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 8 September 2006 00:06 (twenty years ago)

Hey thats a nice font actually what is that?

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 8 September 2006 00:06 (twenty years ago)

My hair BTW is a bit more grey and frazzled than red - I need to dye it. I am in a stripey red and black top. I look like I'm trying to be a member of Jet or something today gah.

7pm is plenty fine by me, I finish up work at 6, easy for me to get into Richmond in like 15 mins anyway. So in fact I may even get there sooner than 7.

I'll sms Ed and let him know.

One thing: I dont know if I plan on staying mecha-late and drinking loads, I've been feeling v v run down tired and drinking so much lately. Still, we'll see!

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 8 September 2006 00:08 (twenty years ago)

me either really, I mean I gotta move one (1) house over the weekend.

― genital hyphys (haitch), Friday, 8 September 2006 01:22 (twenty years ago)

So anyway I kinda missed that - you and S are moving in together?

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 8 September 2006 01:25 (twenty years ago)

yes!

― genital hyphys (haitch), Friday, 8 September 2006 01:34 (twenty years ago)

Coolies!

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 8 September 2006 01:48 (twenty years ago)

Sadly it looks as though we won't be able to make this after all, which is a shame - it would have been good to meet you all.

CharlieNo4 is coming over for a weekend next month - I believe some of you know him? - maybe that would be a good time to do an October FAP.

― Huey in Melbourne (Huey in Melbourne), Friday, 8 September 2006 02:26 (twenty years ago)

Hey yeah that would be ace :) And aw its a shame you cant make it out tonite Huey.

I still feel bad none of us got to catch up with Michael B when he was around (or did some ppl? I know I didnt).

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 8 September 2006 02:41 (twenty years ago)

i'll come catch up with charlie in oct

― electric sound of jim [and why not] (electricsound), Friday, 8 September 2006 02:47 (twenty years ago)

I miss you guys.

― the dow nut industrial average dead joe mama besser (donut), Friday, 8 September 2006 04:09 (twenty years ago)

Awww! I miss you too Brian! You're ace. I found the photos of you and haitch lying in that weird abandonded pram with the beer the other day and I larfed.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 8 September 2006 04:10 (twenty years ago)

I'm still wavering on whether I'll make it tonite... sorry to be flakey.
Anyway if I do make it, just thought I'd let anyone reading this beforehand know (or be reminded) what my real name is: Elizabeth (I used to post as elizabeth anne marjorie... I was very rambly)... posted most as part of the Dunedin contigent of 2001/2... Trayce is kind of like a celebrity to me by now! like Ken C! I've never been to an ILX FAP, except maybe once when Ned came to Dunedin, but I'm not sure that was official. So yeah if I show, I'll be the nervous one. I look a bit poxy at the moment.
S. - I wasn't really proposing a meet there but the Brunswick bar I was talking about is on Union Street inbetween Sydney road and Grantham St (where the Bi-Lo is, oh the glory) - are you moving into Bruns.?
Huey I am new here too - well I've been in living here 5 months now but I still don't know many people... and haven't got out much.

― spectra (spectra), Friday, 8 September 2006 04:24 (twenty years ago)

come back, bronut!

― genital hyphys (haitch), Friday, 8 September 2006 04:28 (twenty years ago)

I'm a celebrity? Get out of here!

(haw, see what I did there?)

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 8 September 2006 05:05 (twenty years ago)

Oh and pfft on the poxy. I'm going grey and I'm getting kinda blobby and I always drink too much and talk too loudly and am General Paininthearse.

Just ask Haitch and Jim and Sash. They'll tell yr.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 8 September 2006 05:12 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, the Union. It's my friend's local and it's great. Also they love us there.

I just moved from Brunswick to sunny North Fitzroy.

Current house contents: 14x bottles of beer (VB), 1x vodka (Stolichnaya), 1x tequila (Agave), 1x pair of boots, 1x pair of jeans (small).

Now we just need DSL.

― S- (sgh), Friday, 8 September 2006 05:22 (twenty years ago)

S I forgot to ask, does this place have wardrobes?

― genital hyphys (haitch), Friday, 8 September 2006 05:24 (twenty years ago)

― electric sound of jim [and why not] (electricsound), Friday, 8 September 2006 05:24 (twenty years ago)
