Ok, so the original plan for O was to head to the Occidental, however they don't serve food on weekday evenings, so I think that's out, as we all like a good feed during the evening. We went to the Observer a couple of week's back, so that leaves:

The Orient, in The Rocks. I don't think that we have ever been here on one of our Thursday evening meets, so this should be a first.

The Orient

They have a big menu, and a reasonable bar. I am going to suggest meeting in the Atrium Bar, as that's usually a bit quieter, and there is a reasonable bistro up there. Looks like Thursday night there is a live band on doing Australian Anthems, whatever they are.

So, Thursday Evening in the Atrium Bar, The Orient, 89, George street, The Rocks, from 6:30!

See you there!

I think we we went there last Thursday night (after the Lord Nelson threw us onto the streets at 11.03)...I seem to remember the 'band' was pretty shocking in a 'I could do better than that on Sing Star' kind of way. Let's see what they sound like when we're sober...

Hope there are not too many hangovers today...

For anyone who is interested, myself and Swerv-o are heading to madame de biers tonight after the Charlatans gig for a bit of indie dancing. It is free entry and we should get free drinks in there too.

http://www.madamdebiers.com.au/

Let me know if you want to join us and I will give you the details.
