I’m in Auckland and am most certainly keen to meet the Man Himself!
I hope there is at least one other person in the area also willing to meet up. Too bad none of my friends here are language keeners.
Any Aucklanders here??
March 15 sounds cool but what exactly will be happening?

Peter, any ideas on where to meet in Melbourne. We have not yet booked a hotel in Melbourne. Any suggestions on where to stay. We can then plan Sydney and Brisbane after that.

That hotel in Melbourne is very close to my work, so I’ll certainly come along with my wife! Really looking forward to it Steve!

That works very well for me too, as I live on that street!! (although about 3 kms away).
Plenty of restaurants around there as well (mostly Italian).
Anytime after 6 would suit me.

I’m trying to imagine an Australian restaurant…meat pie and sauce? hmm

A pub counts as an Australian restaurant and, therefore, a “pub meal” counts as Australian cuisine

@Eliot97 . We will just meet and then go somewhere for a simple meal and lots of conversation.
I would like you guys to put up some photos of your meet ups just to show that the world and boundaries among people have become so small. Have a nice time!

The hotel I am staying at in Auckland is far from the centre. Therefore the location of the meet up has changed. We are now meeting tonight at 7.10 pm at the Britomart station of the Northern Express Bus Line. Chris knows this, and nlamb89 is now unavailable. Anyone else, please go to the Britomart station.
