Title: Vic AN Meetup!
Post by: keltingmeith on November 11, 2016, 06:24:53 pm
The polls are now closed, and a date picked!

SATURDAY THE 10TH OF DECEMBER

Officially, we'll start at around about 12:00, however we may be going for ages! Don't feel like you have to stick around/have to be there on time, feel free to come later or leave early if you want/have to.



It's that time of year again - the time where we all meet-up, forget about ATARs, and have a bit of fun! The oldies around here probably know what this is all about, but for anyone just joining us this year:

Each year, we meet up at the Flagstaff gardens just before ATARs are released. It's the perfect opportunity to meet up with some of the great friends you've met this year on the forums, and just chill out and relax before the daunting point of ATAR release. People bring snacks, Brendan carries his beast of an esky, usually a footy or frisbee finds its way into the pack, and it's a day of lots of fun!! There's also no need to be scared of stranger danger - feel free to bring friends not from the forums if you're worried about things, or you're a shy person. We welcome all kinds (including any one not in year 12 who's reading this and thinks it'll be a blast!).

NOT TO MENTION, if you're unsure about uni preferences (or uni in general), usually a few of us OLD old people (i.e., doing uni), come along, and are happy to answer any questions you might have about courses. (be warned: anybody talking to Brendan will somehow end up studying philosophy)

Just put in the poll what day you'd prefer, we'll call the most popular time in a couple of weeks, and we can all meet up and have fun!

Brenden, will you be bringing the Clix that don't actually exist?

Yeah, if I wanted to sound really enthusiastic I'd type 'Hype' without even an exclamation mark. ::)

I'm going to bring a highly obscure savoury treat that tastes like most other similar products available, and then berate anybody who hasn't heard of that particular shitty brand.

Also on the topic of food, I hear that Lauren is going to bring some of her famous cookies!  (Probably the leftovers from last year, since no one trusted her enough to eat them last time. :) )

So erm dumb question but how does anyone ever find anyone else at these meets? Legit, the only person I would be able to recognise is Lauren and maybe Brenden having been to one of the lectures...

Well, if Joseph is there, you just gotta look for the man in the Spiderman suit. ;)

But nah, we'll put up a map closer to the day of the approximate part of the park we'll be in, then you just gotta go to the crowd/giant esky of terror. If there's not that many people, just wander around that area looking lost and we can call you over when we notice you.

This is utter slander and you know it. Now you all have to come to the meeting to prove Heidi wrong - my reputation is at stake!

Dw, I'm the most important one ::)
Look for the cluster of teenager-->young-adult kids loitering around suspiciously; I'll try and get there early-ish and post a rough location within the gardens (e.g. something extraordinarily helpful like 'next to a tree') so we can find each other. One of us will be checking this thread on our phone intermittently, so if you're lost, you can let us know.

Alternative plan: someone can wear a ludicrously conspicuous hat and we'll all just gravitate towards them. Any takers? ;)

I want to meet all of you! I haven't been to AN meet yet either because I couldn't go last year. Finger's crossed for sometime around the 3rd of 4th because I'll be interstate around the 10th. :'(

There'll be lots of distinguishing features!

1.  Look for the most awkward and embarrassed collection of teens in the park.  (The early-twenties among us look and behave like awkward teens anyway, except for our venerable Senior Citizen Mr. Melting Meithy.) 

2.  Brenden's tipped me off that all the male moderators will be wearing high-viz vests.  Except maybe Joseph41, who'll be wearing that spiderman suit I'm buying him as an early Christmas present, because spiderman in high-viz would look even odder than Andrew Garfield already does.

3.  Our resident part of the furniture hatstand Lauren will be wearing this hat.

4.  A few members may be chucking up surreptitiously behind trees after trying out some of Lauren's cookies.

5.  We will have one adult among us: Swagadaktal will have brought along HighTide's mum.

6.  Plus, I'll be there. 8) if it's not one of the Sundays, pleaaaaaaaaaase let it be a Saturday

7.  But above all, there will be hundreds of boxes of Clix.
Title: Re: Vic AN Meetup!
Post by: heids on November 12, 2016, 11:20:35 am
Also yo Meithy, can you tell who's voted in the poll at the top if you created the poll?  If not, I guess I've got another couple of accounts 8)

It's okay Heidi. If anything, I'll join you in your weirdness. 'Weirdness' is apparently an English word.
Unfortunately by the time I reach the city, it'll be a few hours late; I'd probably be there at 4 unless I'm able to leave earlier. :/
Hopefully y'all can hold a conversation that long. I'd like to meet some of the Class of '16 if possible.  :D

I've been freed up and I can come now! Looking forward to meeting you all :) even though i'm hella shy :'(

If I have some time beforehand I might do some baking because I have a bunch of apples sitting around that really need to be used up.
Don't worry about being hella shy, I'm really shy too! :)

Meanwhile I have to leave before 3, because #busyweekend

How to get there:

> Get to Flagstaff Stn
> Exit Flagstaff Stn
> Look for lots of green grassy stuff
> Wander round green grassy stuff looking for particularly awkward group of teens/early twenties
> Approach them; asking some obscure question about physics or specialist maths should confirm that it's the right bunch

Coming, but will be late from a work party. I will probably show up at 3-5:30pm sometime. Be on the lookout for a girl who's in work wear or a smart casual dress (depends on whether I get a chance to change) of the group.

Also, 300 posts! :)

I feel like with these meets, many people are very enthusiastic at the start but the interest drops off considerably closer to the date as a result of availability and that people forget about it.

I HOPE YOU'RE ALL EXCITED FOR THE MEET-UP!!

Unfortunately, I *was* aiming to be there before everyone, but it seems I'll be a bit late (i.e, arriving at 12 instead of half an hour before). If you are early and can't find anyone, it may be because nobody grabbed a spot! Dw, we'll keep you updated on here when things happen. ;) (also, if you are there early, feel free to pick a spot and post it up here!)

My train just keeps stopping for no apparent reason. ::) Should be there just after 12.

Anyone know if there's anywhere to grab some lunch around Flagstaff? I've only been there a couple of times but I can't remember.

I've claimed us a spot!

If you enter the gardens, in the middle is a 5 way intersection. I'm at a tree near there.

Gone are the days where 30 people turned up (according to my friend who was really active back in 2009-2012)  :P

Not that I am at the meetup even though I'm in the city

It was pretty small, probably only about 15, but it was super chill, not as awkward as I remember some of last year's being!  No Clix, but definitely a 12-pack of Anzac biscuits which babushka818 greedily scoffed even when I tried to stop her because I wanted to get one.  But no.  She would have them all. >:(

Plus anyone who didn't come missed out on some of the best golf of all time, with a highly flexible but medical walking stick and tennis ball.

Had a great time! (...most of the time)  Thanks guys <3
