Failure to launch.
A while ago I tried to organise a meet with some guys from a demoscene site that I frequent (I'm fairly sure at least a couple of them are b3tans).
It took the 5 odd respondents several goes to setup a meet in Norhtbridge (the local bar/nightclub district & fairly central to us all). Where we would all grab a drink and a kebab afterwards. We eventually agreed on a time & date (the Brass Monkey after work & then maybe Plakas for those in the know).
Veni, vidi, bibi - & nada.
You'd be amazed at the number of geeky-looking, older-than-35 IT types there could be in 1 bar on a Tuesday after work, yet none of them there to meet me!
Not that I'm giving any of them a hard time - I did get a couple of valid excuses. But seriously guys - I can't be the only 1 to have to do the legwork here.
So.
Any West Australians living near Perth interested in a bash?
In the spirit of this weeks question - gaz me.

I did however discover on my VERY rare sojurn into N'bridge that Plakas is no more but the little kebab shop near where it used to be next to where Connies isn't anymore (another revalation) does a mean felafal-with-the-lot!
EDIT: Also - I'm officially "old" I think.

Sounds good
but will you be digging the graves?
or will we have to dig our own? The Gnangara pine plantation has lovely soft soil...so I've heard...

that sounds great
can we make the meetup in Forrest Chase next weekend? you can wear a sign saying that "CHOGM is all theives, rapists and war criminals". we should be able to spot you by the black hawk helicopters landing on your skull.

But I want to live a lot!
Looking like the three of us at the mo.

Although..I do have a sneaking suspicion that Prince Phillip might be a secret B3TAn - he's certainly got a couple of cringe-worthy stories that would make the front page.

or at least certainly guarantee him top billing in AB's archive.
