Default Sydney CBD Thursday Evening Drinks 22nd January 2009 - All welcome

Hello All,

Myself and LiseInSyd are hijacking this weeks meet as Swerv-o is off with a select few to throw horns at a rock night at the Lansdowne Hotel on Broadway - feel free to go along if you are a music fan.

We are at the end of our alphabet tour of Sydney pubs as there is nothing for 'X' or 'Y' and only a restaurant or posh place for 'Z' so I propose meeting at The City Hotel at 6.30pm which is normally quiet enough to get seats, have a chat, get a $9 Steak and a cheap drink and play some pool - we can discuss the next round of criteria for selecting the weekly pub and start that next week....

http://www.cityhotel.com.au/
It is on the corner of King and Kent Street in the city so should be easy enough for everyone to get to.

So - Who is in??

Any new people are welcome to come along - we don't bite.

Yes, this week is the Enola Fall album release gig at the Lansdowne. The lead is a friend of my GF from Hobart, so I will be going along to that. It's free entry if anybody wants to come along.

And if not, then have a good evening at the City - I will see you all next week.

Oh, and we could do with another novel method for choosing pubs. Suggestions on a postcard...

for all my sins - work decided today that I should be the new face of Liverpool, which, may I add, could have contributed to the embarrassing moment on floor 11 in the lift!

I have an all day event in Manly on Friday that only kicks off at 10am, so depending what time one gets back from the darkest areas of Liverpool, I may pop in...dont hold your breathe though, this is me!

Not sure if we can make it this week but if we do it will only be for a few. Good choice for The City Hotel.

We are definately up for Australia Day (or Straya Day as I have heard so many times). We will PM you.

What details do you want? The venue and time are clearly posted by Vix77 and she has even kindly included a website.

I'll fill you in a bit. You know where we are going and when - generally it's a mix of singles and couples from their 20's up. We tend to have a few drinks and those who want to, eat and we talk a lot of rubbish.

If you do decide to come, normally Vix asks people to PM her so she can give you a contact number in case you can't find us (sure she'll appear shortly) - but recently we've been the very large group of Poms taking over the entire bar! Knowing the City Hotel as I do, this week we're likely to be the group of Poms by one of the long tables by the pool tables towards the back of the pub. Perhaps see you there

I think the poster was asking for contact details so that he would know how to find us - we have tried many methods for meeting new folks on these meets, and most have been met with only limited success...
