For too long the people of ATAR Notes have been waiting for a meetup danker than the conspiracy memes ya 13 year old cousin's been dishin' out. The time is now.
When
Date: Friday, September 29.
Time: 11.00am onwards
Where
Carlton Gardens. Click the spoiler below for directions.
Directions
Sussed it out today, y'all. Carlton Gardens look miiiiint. Here's how to get there from Melbourne Central Station.
So, take the exit onto Swanston Street. This is the one that goes to the State Library (you go up the escalators and then left past the big clock thingo). Cross the road toward the State Library; your view should be something like this.
That's the State Library on the right. If you turn your head 90 degrees to the left, you should see the big green slimy roof of RMIT. Walk straight up La Trobe Street - so, directly away from Melbourne Central Station.
If you keep walking, you should see this:
That's Mr. Tulk on the right (a café attached to the State Library). It might be closed on the day (public holiday and all). Just continue walking up La Trobe Street.
You should soon see this building. That one on the right in the image above is the building our Tutorial Centre is in, coincidentally. Keep walking past it - still on La Trobe Street.
Basically, this is at the end of La Trobe Street - you'll be able to see Carlton Gardens for sure. Just walk toward the grass lol. And then you'll be met with something along the lines of this:
Aaaaaaand we're laughin'!

What
I dunno how you guys feel about snacks but I could defs go for a kebab.
Failing kebabs - plenty of other snacks to be snacked on, conversations to be conversed, and people (literallythebestpeopleinyoullevermeeteverinyourlifeeverinyourwholeentirelife) to be peopled.
Word on the street is that there'll be Jenga, football, and charmingly geeky conversation.
Spoiler
Legit tho in all seriousness
Is anyone actually keen? 😂😂😂 Meetups are actually 100% the best because you get to meet everyone and make friends with people legit like you. Not something that we have to do but might be a pretty cool opportunity this holidays? If you actually wanna do it though we will 100% get it organised.

was wondering if this was just a mods thing and then saw the callout :o i've never eaten a kebab in my life but this school holidays seems like a fine time to change that ;DOmg kebabs are THE BEST THO
I guess it will be nice to actually go outside during the September holidays, and socially awkward banter is always good fun.YES GOING OUTSIDE IS ALSO (SOMETIMES) (NOT REALLY) THE BEST BUT YESSSSS
that shoutout though 8) ::) #sharkanimememesYYYYyyYyYyyyyYAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Me :Disn't SWOT Vac from Monday 23 October to Friday 27 October O.o
Problem with 29th Sept is that although it's during swotvac, it's during swotvac so I'll have heaps of content to learn before exams haha. Any chance an earlier weekend could work better? Or perhaps the start of swotvac? (Just a preference)
Pretty sure 29th september is the midsemester break

Especially that park next to the imax melbourne meuseum
Just out of curioisty, how would this work for first timers?
ahahaha first timers.. basically at approximately the meetup time (or twenty five minutes later), four groups of approximately 3-5 people each will somehow bump into each other after aimlessly wondering around the park trying to find other nerdy looking lost people. Once this has been established, the large group will plonk themselves on the grass somewhere. After another fifteen minutes, Brenden will arrive with some people carrying his famous esky. For the next 3-6 hours, this collection will enjoy themselves eating, drinking and chatting, as well as critiquing various food items (ie Clix or someone's homemade brownies) until seven people have to go, then the meeting essentially breaks up ::) :)

Once this has been established, the large group will plonk themselves on the grass somewhere. After another fifteen minutes, Brenden will arrive with some people carrying his famous esky. For the next 3-6 hours, this collection will enjoy themselves eating, drinking and chatting, as well as critiquing various food items (ie Clix or someone's homemade brownies) until seven people have to go, then the meeting essentially breaks up ::) :)What happens if you don't who anyone looks like from AN in IRL?
I'll probably end up taking photos of everyone, so i can recognize you for next time
That is if I can find you all :P.

the place where Carlton gardens is amazing
Especially that park next to the imax melbourne meuseum
Just out of curioisty, how would this work for first timers?
Yoooo!
How it works.
We'll suss out a good spot in the Carlton Gardens to chill in the next week or so, and let y'all know in this thread. That's where we'll meet. I'm happy to wear my bright blue ATAR Notes t-shirt so that we're easy to find; people can also add me on Facebook or call me if they get lost (will give number via PM if you want it).
So, no need to worry about finding people in the first place haha.
Then, it depends a little on weather. If it's nice, we'll chill on the grass. There will be snacks. Somebody will bring a footy, or a frisbee, if you're interested in that. Otherwise, we can just chat, have fun, play cards or literally whatever y'all want to do! :)
It's pretty neat.
If the weather is rainy or whatever, no stress! We're super close to our Tutorial Centre, so we can just go and chill there. The views over the city are amazing; it's actually really sweet when it's raining haha. We can also show you around and chill there if you like, even if it's sunny. :)

So, take the exit onto Swanston Street. This is the one that goes to the State Library (you go up the escalators and then left past the big clock thingo). Cross the road toward the State Library; your view should be something like this.
(https://i.imgur.com/P8UCMjB.jpg)
That's the State Library on the right. If you turn your head 90 degrees to the left, you should see the big green slimy roof of RMIT. Walk straight up La Trobe Street - so, directly away from Melbourne Central Station.
If you keep walking, you should see this:
(https://i.imgur.com/ykjglUU.jpg)
That's Mr. Tulk on the right (a café attached to the State Library). It might be closed on the day (public holiday and all). Just continue walking up La Trobe Street.
(https://i.imgur.com/lk1dZ6g.jpg)
You should soon see this building. That one on the right in the image above is the building our Tutorial Centre is in, coincidentally. Keep walking past it - still on La Trobe Street.
(http://i63.tinypic.com/nowos4.jpg)
Basically, this is at the end of La Trobe Street - you'll be able to see Carlton Gardens for sure. Just walk toward the grass lol. And then you'll be met with something along the lines of this:

Aaaaaaand we're laughin'!

If this post gets +1000 respect I'll bring my guitar and play tunes for everyone that comes along (with a livestream available for nsw people, courtesy of calebark, via facebook live)I was not consulted about this, but I am more than happy to be the source of Alter's Musical Melodies. Be careful though, as you're going to give everyone else major FOMO

Post by: Fifth on September 12, 2017, 08:14:24 pm
Are
You
Fuckin
HYPED?CLICK ME! CLICK ME!BECOZ YA SHOULD BE!!
It's Time
It's time for a good and proper ATAR Notes Forum Meetup - complete with ALL YA BOIIIIIZ AND ALL YA GURRRRLZ.
I'm lookin' at u peterpiper. I'm lookin' at u patriciarose. I'm lookin' at you Quantum44. IF YOU'RE READING THIS POST I'M LOOKIN' AT YOU.
I'M OUTSIDE YA WINDOW.
For too long the people of ATAR Notes have been waiting for a meetup danker than the conspiracy memes ya 13 year old cousin's been dishin' out. The time is now.
When
At this stage I'm thinking Friday the 29th of September - technically a public holiday because it's the day before Grand Final Day, but it's on school holidays so it means both the uni chums and the high-school chums can come along. Happy to hear it if people have better dates in mind!
As for time, IT'S GON' BE FROM MIDNIGHT TO MIDNIGHT BABY, A WHOLE 24 HOURS OF SOCIAL AWKWARDNESS, GEEKINESS AND SOBRIETY. AWWWWWWWWW YEAAAAAAAH.
Nah I dunno we'll probs start in the arvo and just kick on til people cbf.
What
I dunno how you guys feel about snacks but I could defs go for a kebab.
Failing kebabs - plenty of other snacks to be snacked on, conversations to be conversed, and people (literallythebestpeopleinyoullevermeeteverinyourlifeeverinyourwholeentirelife) to be peopled.
Legit tho in all seriousness
Is anyone actually keen? 😂😂😂 Meetups are actually 100% the best because you get to meet everyone and make friends with people legit like you. Not something that we have to do but might be a pretty cool opportunity this holidays? If you actually wanna do it though we will 100% get it organised.
Oh shiz-shaz boy, I'm fuckin' HYPED DAMN RIGHT DOOD. The date for it is perfect with me. Where in Melbourne will the meetup be, though? At a train station? In a park? Under my bed next to the box of Bionicles and my old school books? C'mon, I gotta know how far I have to walk with the foods.
