Melbourne DisMeet: Friday, July 16 2010 - DisMeet photos update

[PrincessInOz]

The lovely Shushh and family will be in Melbourne and we thought it would be a great idea for an Aussie DisMeet.

Date: Friday, July 16 2010
Time: 12 noon
Place: Location: Tomodachi.
Address: On3 (level 3), Melbourne Central Shopping Centre

http://www.tomodachi.com.au/

The best way to get to this place is walk up on Swanston Street to the corner of LaTrobe street. At that corner, there are escalators heading up. Go up both flights of escalater (and avoide the obvious temptation to head to the level 2 foodcourt at the top of the first flight) and the restaurant should be straight ahead of you.

If you are catching the train in; or have approached from the shopping mall, then head towards the LaTrobe Street end. Where the Waltzing Matilda clock and Shot tower is, there are escalators heading up. Go up until you get to Level 3. You should be able to find it....

If you could post a response and let me know if you are coming, then I will have a rough idea of how many people to make a tentative booking for.

 

[shushh]

We are a definite 5!

Hi

I think I will be able to make it - just 1 (everyone else back at school/work).

I'll be at work - and in Sydney - so unfortunately I can't make it. But have fun, those of you who do catch-up!

If anyone wants to catch up in Sydney, let me know. My sister and I are doing the City To Surf in August - anyone else who wants to get fit for their DL trip is welcome to join us LOL.

 

[aussiegirls]

Awwwww, I wanna come

I think a Sydney one would be good Heidi but I am not doing the City to Surf I did it once and swore to myself I would never do something so silly again

Would love to but I work too far from the city

I'm counting 7 for lunch at this stage....shushh and 4, makes a family of 5; zaccy and myself.

I did a little bit of recon this week...naturally I had to personally test out the food (sorry no food porn).

I'm thinking that we should meet at tomodachi, a japanese place that looks horrendously expensive via the website...but they do lunch specials. There is a sushi train; and the bento boxes..3 selections. Chicken teriyaki and a prawn and something else (apologies, I've had a busy week at work and my mind is mush)!

Bento boxes are $12.90. I tested the chicken teriyaki and it was okay.

I'll make a booking for a table for 8 in early July. So, if anyone else thinks they can make it, post a response with the number of people.

And I'll also update the original post with the location.

PrincessInOz, thank you again for organizing and for the detailed instructions! Looking forward to meeting with both you and zaccy.

 

[zaccy]

Thanks for doing all this - I (and Zaccy the cabbage patch doll) will be there.

PrincessInOz and shushh I have pm'ed you both.

 

[PrincessBelle39]

I'd love to come but have to be back on the Mornington Peninsula by 3pm to pick up from school and take the kids to ballet. Just not enough time.

The lovely Shushh (and her wonderful family), the bubbly Zaccy and I had our mini DisMeet in Melbourne today.

Please meet the REAL Zaccy (soooo cute)!

And Zaccy with the three Aussie Dis-ers...

No food porn....sorry, we forgot. But we all had the chicken teriyaki bento box.

Please meet the REAL Zaccy (soooo cute)!

Hi Zaccy

Hope you had a nice time with the girls and enjoyed your bento box

 

[Ms. Shuttergirl]

you girls are all so cute

 

[shushh]

Hello all, sorry I've been a bit of a hermit lately. Since our return from Melbourne, all I've had a chance to do is upload photos for the photography forum...

Anyway I digress! PrincessInOz and Zaccy, I had a wonderful time meeting up with you. PriincessInOz thanks for posting the photos! If any of you ever do come to Sydney, do let me know and we can try to meet up again. We had a blast in Melbourne. It is such a beautiful city.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Welcome home Shushh! Nice to know you got home safely.

I've been enjoying your pictures of Melbourne , even if it means that you're probably scoring more points than me!!

 

[shushh]

PrincessInOz, you crack me up! Here are some photos of your beautiful city which I meant to share yesterday but forgot to post

 

[zaccy]

Hey Princess...

Was searching for something and happened to come across this talk about a blast from the past! - I guess this is the first Melbourne DISmeet

Hi Shussh, exciting that your planning another big trip, can't wait to read about it

 

[PrincessInOz]

Oh wow! What a surprise to find this old thread bumped up. I'd *almost* completely forgotten that I had posted about this DisMeet.

First ever?


Hmmm. Does that make us Foundation Member Dis-sers????

 

[PrincessInOz]

Gosh. I'm just looking at the date. It's almost 4 years to the day. What a coincidence.
