hehe yeah expect no sleep!!! Esp on the last night!! Anyone got a laptop so we can stay up all night and watch dvds lol? And we can all get junk food and just cry our lungs out. I can bring my laptop - it has most of my music files on it, so we can have a singalong as well. We can SING our lungs out after all the crying, if we have any voices left post-show!  Does Hotel Bakpak have a video room? We could commandeer the room for our greedy selves. |

I would say 'everyone come stay at my house!!' but I don't live in Melbs anymore... *cries* i'm happy to help out with anything, places to eat, locations you're having trouble with (I have mates who know St.Kilda etc area really well). Have you found the pool yet? By the looks of the background it's somewhere tree-filled. Eltham? It lokos like the highest board in town- I remember there is a pool in Melbourne that boasts that, but Google tells me...nothing! I found this: www.melbourneschild.com.au/aquatic_centres.asp which is a guide to Melbourne 'aquatic centres'. I'm scanning it for impressive outdoor boards in a tree-rich area. I'm also going to put the pool episode on and scan for clues. I LOVE RESEARCH!!! |

Here's how my conversation with my family went: ME: Hi folks, i'm heading to Melbourne in November - i'm seeing Lano and Woodley's last show. Plus i'll be meeting up with some other forum members. THEM: Alrightee. Easy peasy, lemon squeeze-y. ;D They're used to me buggering off on my own (eg. "Stuff this, i'm off to Coolangatta for a week!"), plus i'm 22 so they don't actually have a say in the matter. P.S. My ticket arrived today as well! (insert appropriate squeeeeee here) |

Oh Barry Holt, good. Well if there are other places we haven't tracked donw yet, lemme know. I'm going to stay with my auntie, she lives in Brighton, although this hostel thing is sounding fun!
My family are used to me meeting up with strangers, as I have a Harry Potter group. Plus I'm 32 and not attatched, so my mother practically seeks out strangers for me to meet!

I propose that we open a new thread specifically to discuss details for the Melbourne trip. That way it'll be much easier to keep track of information, ie. who is going, the hostels, locations, what to bring etc.

In the episode The Girlfriend, Col walks past a street sign that says 'Marriott street' on a house, and as you can see the flats in the background, I would say they're in a street next to Marriott st in St.Kilda. I Googled and found this:  The cirlce thing is Marriott st. Seeing as how I'm ace at research but shit at directions, i can't tell which way Col was walking, so it could be Odessa, Lambeth, Steele, Argyle....who knows. Someone better print that off and get in the car! And then tell us, I want to go next week. ;D Sorry I haven't replied earlier, that map is really good, Thanks!!  |
