I'll be lucky to have enough money to buy a team jacket.

Gary,
Are you talking Peking Duck?
Posted: Wed Mar 02, 2005 9:40 pmDuck's off, sorry
Posted: Wed Mar 02, 2005 9:43 pmHey guys, got room for one more?!?! I've been so busy I thought the GP was still two weeks away until I saw them on the news tonight. WILL SOMEBODY TELL ME WHO STOLE FEBRUARY???
Should I bring the camera? I'd really love sombody to tell me what the round button inside the on-off switch does
I look forward to meeting you all.
By the way, how do we recognise each other? Maybe Greg could bring his cat and hold it up in front of his face all night?

Posted: Wed Mar 02, 2005 11:21 pmI'll ask Dad... or you could ask Greg... I can't imagine that a booking for as many as we have where a restaurant wouldn't gladly oblige for sticking another seat in there.
And I'm sure someone will be wearing a D70 shirt or carrying a D70 or possibly holding a sword of some sort.

Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2005 8:45 amI have booked for 16, and we had 14 "definites". I can't imagine it would be any kind of problem at a pizza joint anyway.
The booking is in Gary's name, so just ask for the Stark party

That will put Mr Stark in trouble at the end of the party
and two reserved seats for " Virtual Mr + Mrs Birddog114"
Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2005 9:03 amWe'll just say that we expected Birddog and Onyx to come, but they didn't make it...
Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2005 11:26 amUse our banner as a spot pointer.
Gary and Leigh bring along the D70Users.com banner, hang it somewhere out/ inside for other Mel. members can spot it easy.

Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2005 11:32 amNot too sure how that would go down with the Toto's people....
Interesting thought however.

Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2005 11:56 amThat was my thinking. I doubt we'll bring it only because it's likely to make staff or management at Toto's uncomfortable.
I'll probably be in my BMW cap... so look for the one non-Ferrari cap in the restaurant... hell, on Lygon St!

Yeah! great ideas! why not ? the Admins?
Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2005 12:22 pmYa'll obviously haven't seen the amount of "personal space" you get at the stands at the Grand Prix.
I swear, people who pay for general admission, while they may not get a better view of the race, they get more space to work with.

Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2005 8:07 pmI'd love to join.
I know it is late notice, but was wondering if there was room at the table for one more?

Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2005 10:31 pmWell.. There are comp results to announce
Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2005 12:02 amI almost wish I didn't know.
Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2005 2:03 amIf the winners are Melb/VIC based, you could perhaps bring along their prizes to present to them in real time.

Those are already planned! and I met Gary yesterday at my base. (hints)
Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2005 9:17 amI noticed you have
"2 Dean"
Does that signify two Deans or Deano + 1 and I've been forgotten?

Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2005 4:22 pmSo I have a question...
D70 meeting at a pizza place... what kind of clothing are we looking at? Ordinarily I'd say good denims and a collared shirt.. but I dunno.. is this a fancy pizza place or what?
See sig for explanation as to why i'm asking.

Platinumweaver,
Formal! always formal dress with the Admins! we do the same thing here in Sydney
Once Admins away, we can wear jean, short, underwear, whatsoever we can! keep you eyes on those two admins
they're very tough Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2005 4:36 pmBirddog - You didn't help...
Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2005 4:39 pmThose two are also critical on how you tie your tie as well. It must be a traditional windsor knot
Shoes must also be polished enough to see your own reflection

Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2005 4:45 pmWish I was there with you guys (especially as my suit is back from the cleaners)
Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2005 5:13 pmGlen,
I thought that a suit was what you got from someone else's lawyers.
Dress code for the night is F1 or D70 regalia.
Wear your camera with pride!
Guess what I had a play with this afternoon?

Didn't get to the circuit today, so, no.
We did go to the Motor Show today, and we did see people partaking in what has to be the most mindless job on earth.
Many of the manufacturers have rent-a-babes on their stands. Alfa Romeo and Subaru are amongst the greatest offenders here, but Mitsubishi took this to a whole new low here, with two blonde bimboettes, each sitting in a car on a rotating pedestal, just ... sitting there, going round and round and round ...
The things some people do to earn a quid!
