Default Brisbane - is there an active BE group?

Hi there.

I am moving from Perth to Brisbane in the next month or two and only know one person in Brisbane. Do BE members in Brisbane meet up or have their own forum?

Thanks in anticipation.

There's a bunch of BEer's that meet New Years Dat at The Pig'N'Whistle Riverside each year. I think they have a few meetups throughout the year on The Gold Coast as well.

Meetup seems to be a good way to meet people with common interests. Cappuccino met a lot of people that way when she was here.

I’m active most Saturday nights.

Roma Street Parklands toilets.

Fridays during the summer months also.

Possibly, there are vast tracts of time that are a blank to me.

For the sake of the threat of future legal action, and in the absence of compelling DNA evidence, I will err on the side of no.

I'm still waiting for prize for hyying 90,000 so I guess not

All is much the same here, frantic start to this year's storm season which has livened things up a little!

​​​​​I hit 10 years in June but only 5k posts. Better spend less time chatting and drinking wine and get back on BE!

Okay. It seems like you are my best bet.

How will I recognise you?
