Canberra meet up - any resolution?   Message List

Re: [bc_canberra] Re: Canberra meet up - any resolution?

Glad Beyond Q was so great.

I waited from 5.25 until 5.55 in Green Square - slap
bang in the middle and didn't see anyone. Couldn't
afford much more time than that and don't have mobile
internet. We've been away for most of the weekend so
couldn't get in a report until now.

Sorry to have missed you, Pete, but it sounds like it
was just you and I anyway. Hope you have a great
trip. I ate Cariane's Tim Tams, but give her my love.

Antoinette

I can make it Friday. I know nothing of venues in Kingston (apart from the Black Swan cafe and it probably isn't there anymore) - where are we meeting? ...

Filthy's will probably be busy from about 6pm, as it's a non-PS pay week and it's usually busier then. Same with Little Brussels (aka the Belgian Beer Cafe). ...
