Melbourne Tumblr Meet-up

Melbourne people,

Kate and Chrissy are going to be down from Canberra next week (and staying with me!), so we were thinking of having a little gathering on Thursday night, the 12th (unfortunately they leave Friday). Actually, Tash and Thao and I were thinking this. I haven’t run it by Kate or Chrissy yet, but I’m sure they are into it. And even if they’re not, they’re staying at my place so they’ll do what I tell them. Anyway, a bar in the city will be the most likely venue. Thinking Sister Bella at this stage, but anyone got any better ideas feel free to express them. Maybe somewhere at little less difficult to find for those who don’t know it?

This doesn’t need to be some official Tumblr-sponsored event or anything, just thought with Kate and Chrissy down it would be a good opportunity to meet-up since there are a few of us who will be hanging out.

Seeing as I am credited as a co-mastermind of this meet-up, reblogging is in order.

On a Tumblr-appropriate level of seriousness though, anyone in Melbourne that is free on Thursday night should come!

Grant, you are an absolute star. I love it when people make plans like this!! And I can assure you that Kate will be down. Luv u, Melbourne peeps!

This sounds most excellent! I give this proposal my full endorsement.

Only in Melbourne could we have a public holiday for a horse race.

Not that I’m complaining, of course. A day off for the three and a half minutes of the race that stops the nation? FUCK YEAH.

do you know what’s better? canberra gets a public holiday as well. they were just like “fuck it, if melbourne can have one, SO CAN WE.” (or, they did last year? idk, help me out canberra people, i just remember being thrown by it last year.)

Fuck, Canberra get it? I grew up 200km outside of Melbourne and we didn’t even get it. Public servants, man.

Yeah, we’ve got one today, but I think maybe next year is the last one? It’s called the Family and Community Day, lol. They’re scrapping it, though.

Practicing on getting my hair right for a dinner party I’m going to tonight. We have to dress up as some sort of alter ego, and take a dish that starts with P. I’m going as a rockabilly girl and taking some Punjabi chicken tikka masala.

“Unrequited love may be painful, but it is safely painful, because it does not involve inflicting damage on anyone but oneself,a private pain that is as bittersweet as it is self-induced. But as soon as love is reciprocated, one must be prepared to give up the passivity of simply being hurt to take on the responsibility of perpetrating hurt oneself.“
