Title: Graet: East Coast AU tour Sept 2013
Post by: Graet on September 02, 2013, 01:05:17 PM
Hi folks,
Finally getting to do something I have been trying to for almost 2 years
A tour of the East coast of Aus to meet up with Bitcoiners!


Arriving Melbourne Thur 12th Sept leaving morning of Sat 14th
Arriving Canberra Sat 14th heading to Sydney 15th
Arriving Sydney Sun 15th heading to Coffs harbour 17th - I'll find the old monday meetup venue and see if there is any life :)
Arriving Coffs Tue 17th leaving 18 or 19th
Arriving Bris 18or 19th going to meetup https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=251547.0
Heading Sat home 21st

Melbourne Fri 13th ~6pm a few people are showing interest now :D

If any  Bitcoiners but especially Ozcoin miners or Weexchange customers would like to meet up, I'm keen.
I'll be bringing some Bitcoin stickers and badges to give away, some surplus t-shirts and keyrings to sell :)

I would have liked to attend the Sydney Wednesday meetup but my schedule doesn't allow it - if any of the people looking at setting up a Aus NFP Society could contact me I'd appreciate it and hope to meet, myself and some others started towards this late 2011 but interest dropped (saw an article somewhere but it didnt say a lot).

Cheers and hope to catch up soon
Graet

Proposed public meetups
Melbourne Thu 12th
Lunch in the city (venue TBA)

Sydney Mon 16th

Pity you're not going to be in Coffs the weekend of the Rally...

Do you know where the Coffs Monday Meetups used to be?
 I might be able to take a day off work & drive down the hill...

Name the Melbourne venue and my household of bitcoin enthusiasts (plus ozcoin and weexchange users to boot) are so there! Be great to meet the man who sorted the smoothest coin trades I ever made! (we emailed a bit, but you probably get that a lot ;) plus more local bitcoiners :)

*returns to drooling over the Jalapeņo that arrived today*

Oh cool, I have a very good friend moved over a few years back, as I'm driving up seemed a good place to  visit :)
Wanna gra a coffee or something? I'll still have some stickers for giving away :)

Well, all settled in the Sofitel with my slippers on sipping on a Heineken waiting for the 4.30 meet up, and the weather is shit!
 It was 28 degrees when the Opera Bar was suggested. We found a bad "block" of weather ;( ...moar beer please..
