Sculpture By The Sea - Tuesday November 2

[gstark]

For those who are interested, our annual visit to see the sea, followed by a visit to the Beach Burrito Bar for some fresh Mex.

[surenj]

Although, I won't be able to make it on Tuesday, I would be keen to do some lightpainting on these this year; During a weekend perhaps...

[aim54x]

Mex sounds good...I will definitely try for this event....going into Sunbird now!

[biggerry]

man, school night! geez it came around fast this year, with some luck I will be there!

[gstark]

Just giving this a bump ...

Next Tuesday. After the cup.

This is OT, but I was in Sydney very briefly recently for a family occasion and was taken to Baja Cantina at Glebe.

We suffer badly because of a lack of Mexican cuisine in Brisbane, so I may not be the best judge - but I thought it was excellent.

Tasty food with fresh ingredients, fairly extensive selection of beers, wonderful margaritas, impressive.

Baja Cantina at Glebe.

I believe it's a semi regular (usually once a year ) DSLRuser hangout...

Oh ... probably seen it mentioned here before and never realised!

Trevor,

Mex is never OT here.

Baja Cantina is very good; we've had two mexi-meets there already, and it's highly likely that we'll have more.

Did you try the tortilla soup?

[the foto fanatic]

No - steak fajitas that was very tasty!

[Mr Darcy]

I had hoped to get to this, but we are getting holes cut in the roof on Tuesday. Weather permitting.
If weather is unkind (They were originally scheduled for Thursday, but it rained), I may make it anyway. But it seems to be a closed meet. No details of time and/or place. Or is this just an oversight?

I know there is a reference to some obscure horse race, but not being a gambler, or sport-a-holic of any kind this doesn't mean a lot to me. And it certainly doesn't help at all with location.

[aim54x]

Greg, I am going to assume it will be just past Icebergs at 6.30ish like it has been over the last two years. I am going to try to come!

[surenj]

And it certainly doesn't help at all with location.

Lets all meet near the beach at Greg's place....

[gstark]

Or is this just an oversight?

That's all

Or simply not yet posted.

But as Cameron has said, near the Icebergs ... 6 - 6:30 ish.

[biggerry]

I am out - no hope of me getting from gods country to bondi in reasonable time.

Never knew that the Wild Wild West was called gods country!
In a few years...Maybe with the proposed M4 extension... A better bet would be to wait for teleportation. or wait for the oil to run out...

[gstark]

So, who all is comin'?

[aim54x]

leaving work now...will be there

[Murray Foote]

It's the Wild East, actually. "Godzone", a contraction of God's Own Country, as coined by Richard "King Dick" Seddon, Prime Minister of Aoteoroa from 1893 to 1906.

[aim54x]

still at work...will try to make my way down that way still...hope I am not the only one

[Mr Darcy]

In case you were wondering I didn't make it. Got some great skylights though.

[surenj]

Just spoke to Cameron and apparently there was a nice sunset but the attendance was low.

I hope you did not miss the sarcasm

or wait for the oil to run out...

thankfuly I have now purged that utterly useless fact from my brain...and Murray, you are now the goto man for bizarre facts

Just spoke to Cameron and apparently there was a nice sunset but the attendance was low.

yeah there was some nice cloud action out this way...

[surenj]

yeah there was some nice cloud action out this way...

Grrr. I had a coupla ideas for the sculptures with some cloud action.... Perhaps we'll get lucky this Saturday?

I hope you did not miss the sarcasm

No no.. Received loud and clear! How Murray managed to fet NZ in this conversation is hilarious!
