For those of you who have been paying attention, you'll know that Bindi will be in Sydney this weekend.

In honour of the occasion, we're holding a Bindimeet in the city, starting at around 1pm.

Meeting place will be under the Pyrmont Bridge in Cockle Bay - that's the eastern side of Darling Harbour - at about 1pm.

We can retire to Chinatown for an earlyish dinner late in the afternoon, and those who are willing can wander on off to the Botany View Hotel for the SBS jam starting @ 6 - for some good blues music and different photo ops.

All aboard!

I think I'm washing my hair that day...

*ducks and runs*

So am I.

Both of them.

Damn. I was planning to come but have agreed to go for a dive. Maybe I can drop along later...

By the way, isn't Saturday the 24th? It's <strike>Erection</strike> Election Day! Oh, you changed it already.

Pssst.... ATJ... the meet is Sunday the 25th...

just saying...

and lmao @ Gary...

I know that - Gary's initial post said Sunday 24th. He changed it as I was replying.

Yep.

Noticed and fixed my (one and only ever) error.

Saturday is the Feral Erection.

Sunday we're meeting with Bindi.

Some might say "same thing".

But I promise to be good.

Or bettererer.

damn!

Can you all have a drink for me, I turn 27 that day...

Would love to make your acquaintance Bindi, but have a christening in Bathurst that day. Will be trying out some low light photography instead.

My loss (I think)

Not sure if I can make it or not, I would love to though as I have been very slack this year with the forum...

but in case you guys do not know there is the big Xmas parade moving through the city that day, starting at Wynard I think.

The city will be packed with families (guess why I might not be able to make it!!!) as there is a special chipmunk float direct from the USA

Not sure of the path or times, I think it is morning. If it is morning and you still meet that day I might try and get there after the parade.

I wasn't aware of this; thank you.

I will check, as it may impact upon some of my planned movements

Hi Gary,

I've got something else on that day, but would love to catch up for a beer or two later on. Can you please PM me your mobile number so I can contact you to see where you are when I'm free later in the afternoon?

Cheers

Andrew

Andrew,

That would be great. I expect we'll be somewhere around the city till about 6, then Newtown.

PM sent

Thanks mate. Looking forward to catching up

Convinced the wife and Nan Nan to get the kids home on their own after the parade

So Rick and I will also most likely make it (provided the parade does not go to long and the kids aren't to feral!!!)

Gary - I think I only have your landline number, can you please also PM me your mobile if you don't mind so we can find you.

Looking forawrd to attending this celebrity sydney meet

Sydneys putting on a parade.. just for me..

they shouldn't have..

no really... *grin*

So....it's either the xmas parade or the Bindi parade?....sorry Santa, maybe next time. Hope to see ya all under the bridge!

OK .... the parade is certainly going to rain on my parade.

Or at least my arrangements.

The basics of the Chrissie Parade are that it starts at Wynyard and runs down George St to Liverpool St, starting at 11:30 am and finishing at 2:30.

From the City of Sydney website ...

This major event will bring together the community, raise funds for charity and give Sydney the Christmas celebration it deserves!" says Parade Organiser Anthony Mead. "We anticipate The Sydney Christmas Parade will become a part of Sydney, much like the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is for New York, with exciting entertainment for the whole family.

Pardon my cynicism, but I suspect that this quote better sums up the event ...

A spokesman for Nestlé said the event would provide brand managers with the opportunity to increase exposure prior to the Christmas shopping rush.

Bottom line - we're full steam ahead. I'll need to work around this, especially for my parking arrangements. There should be photo-ops aplenty for those brave enough to venture towards George St during this event, as well as once we're in Darling Harbour.

As the parade finishes in Darling Harbour, the whole precinct will be overcrowded and full of people.

Deal with it.

Cya all @1pm on Sunday

Look forward to meeting up with you guys sometime after the parade has passed us by.

wish i wasnt busy at oran park

Excuse the blondness.

Would the gathering be a kind of pub crawl type of occassion or do we actually bring our cameras along.

Sorry very new to this kind of arrangements.

Cheers Emily

Emily,

Yes.


...

Both. We'll start with our cameras, and hopefully degenerate shortly (and quickly) thereafter.

And Mrs Manta is (a touch more than) 31.... same day as you Michael. Hence MY weekend is fully booked!

I'm sure you'll all have a great time - at least it will give us a rest from Bindii for a few days !!

I wonder how much we would have to send them to keep her down there ?????

Have fun

Oh shush... go on tell em the truth... 'to know me is to love me'..

No, Sydney can't keep her! She's too cute and well she belongs in Brisbane

Oh my God Sunnylass - you've been possessed !!!!!
I'll have a look for the phone number for those people who get poor deluded souls out of cults, and I'll get back to you

I've made noises about appearing and really hoped to.... but alas, the internal accounting gnomes refused me Sunday flights and Sunday night accommodation so I have to fly in on Monday and back out Tuesday morning.

A full day of tax on Monday from 10.45 - 7pm and then a group dinner.

The dinner is the best bit (Redoak)

And I won't be up for breakfast either on Tuesday......

Sorry all......

 LOL yes Bindii did visit me and use my computer, but she didn't type that.

You people are really raising expectations here in Sydney

(no pressure, Sue... )

As a newbie on this forum, love to meet you all.

As long as its only expectations that are raised...

I'm in the middle of moving house at the moment and my net isn't connected (alright I havent had a chance to get my computer happening as yet) so I may not be back in here before I get to Sydney... but I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone on Sunday...it will be brilliant to put faces to names etc

See you all soon... :):)

Just remember - don't look her directly in the eyes - always look just to the side, that way you won't fall under her spell (and I bet you always wondered why she likes snakes so much too LOL )



And I just realised - you ate all my chips LAST time LOLOLOL

 LOLOL. Kewl I've never been in a cult before, do I get to wear a special uniform or anything funky?

I'm sure Sue might lend you her head dress  LOL

Man am I going to have to run fast before she gets back here .....
lol- maybe I'll just settle for 'rolling' fast

....now, where did I put my piece of cabana ?????

I had to laugh, I got an sms from Bindii saying she would have to be the one person to have herself and her luggage searched at the domestic airport.

Maybe she had that headpiece on!

I'll volunteer to do a full body search tomorrow.

Gary - she already has enough snakes on that headpiece, please don't try to add any more !!!!!

Sunnylass - what can I say, she looks dodgey !!!!

blacknstormy wrote:Gary - she already has enough snakes on that headpiece, please don't try to add any more !!!!!

Adding was not what I had in mind.

Lol.. it could only happen to me huh?... My DOMESTIC flight left from the International airport... but why I ask was I the only one that got taken to a room for a bag check and a pat down...
