Brian Rock Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 OK, the Sydney demo is currently set for Sunday 28 July. Time to call for a show of interest in Sydney. Here's the drill: 1) If there are only a few people it will be at my home. 2) If there are more than a few people, gibsonm has kindly offered the use of a hall in Parramatta. 3) There is a chance I may need to work on the Sunday - probably only about 10%, but be warned there is a chance of a late cancellation. 4) We may need to cap numbers, so the earlier you post the better you're chance of checking it out. There are a few other bits and pieces we'll need to cover off closer to the day, but for now let's start with interested attendees posting to this thread.

Ozzy Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 I would really like to attend, but unfortunately, Sidney is not around the corner. ANYBODY please organize a sneak preview in Frankfurt/Germany...?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stixx Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Hmmmm, Sydney is only about 13 hours away... If i leave on saturday my car might make it as far south as Grafton if i'm lucky. Then i'll hitch hike on to Coffs Harbour, steal a car from there and get to the central coast. I have a mate there who can give me a lift in to Sydney! Yes! I think i can make it! *Then i woke up!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick_Oz Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 I'm in Sydney and would love to come but weekend work commitments keep me busy until early afternoon. So strong generic interest registered... awaiting further details! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrcar Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 Well I'm tempted... where in Sydney? Any other Canberrans interested in a road trip? Cheers Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Rock Posted July 16, 2002 Author Share Posted July 16, 2002 Originally posted by jrcar: Well I'm tempted... where in Sydney? I was wondering if you'd turn up. Good to see another TacOps list member. Crows Nest if the numbers are small, Parramatta if we get a huge crowd. The road from Canberra to Sydney flies since they opened up the expressway, and a breeze for a one-day beta-test. I know because I did it in the other direction when I had a go beta-testing Freedom Force at Irrational Games, Canberra. Bad Dog: time still TBA, but I expect it would be the better part of a day. I'll be interstate until Monday next week, but will try to check in and bump the post periodically.

[Wiking] Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Sydney...yeah that's only 12 hours. By jet, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrcar Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 Confirming a strong intention to head to the big smoke with a friend. Paramatta would be good... do you want another Laptop (it has a 16MB graphics card, 866 with 512MB I think running Win2k)? I can also bring a 50m cat5 crossover cable for playing head to head via TCP. I can also bring a normal computer as well. Anyone else from Canberra interested?

Brian Rock Posted July 23, 2002 Author Share Posted July 23, 2002 Bump. I'll be sending out emails tomorrow to everybody to confirm numbers. I'll need to close bookings off soon because if we are going to use Parramatta gibsonm is going to need to book the hall and make arrangements. With current numbers it's looking more like Crows Nest than Parramatta - fortunately it's just off the freeway so it's a reasonably fast run from Canberra. And I'll have some coldies to make it worth your while, jrcar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Rock Posted July 24, 2002 Author Share Posted July 24, 2002 This is likely to be the final bump. In about seven hours I'll send emails with venue details to everybody who expressed interest in this thread. So if you're interested and haven't posted here, do it now!
