Adam,
are you sure you are not fogetting something?? *ahem*

anyways, as form already said, it's fun day out we do heaps of trash talking and drink beers, but also engage in serious drawing sessions.

[Matt Elder]

Just put my two cents in and say Monday's meet up was cool and given me a kick in the butt to get organised and do more work. See you guys soon.

hows monday for you guys? i might be going to ras tomoro night if anyone wants to come.

let me know tho, might change my mind if noone else comes.

[bumskee]

ANYONE for this lOOOOOOOOOOOONG weekend?? I know shane's heading up to port stephen.. maybe this sat? sketch some human beings walking around?

[fionkell]

Damnit, I'm like 2 hours away from everything here :p Maybe once I've finished uni for the year I can organise myself better for this.

[Matt Elder]

I should be up for some time over the long weekend. Just post details here.

[Magic Man]

Yo guys, I'll be down within the next two weeks. I have my bag packed and I'm starting the long walk to sydney tonite, please have orange juice waiting.

[rodrigo!]

i know my long weekend is going to be a magical experience, filled with study and all that cool stuff
cant wait
i dunno if ill go monday, public holiday...wat is there to do???

[bumskee]

I know the notice is quite short, but Adam and me alread sort of planned this sat, unless he's changed his mind.

around 12pm ~ 1pm, no doubt there will be shite load of people at circular quay, we might head down to where we went last time, botanical garden? I think it's called around the corner from opera house. Sketch for few hours and head off before getting dark or to "four seasons" for some expensive beer or not.

So please raise your hand if you are interested, Shane's heading up to Stephens sunday I think he said.

As for monday, maybe we do it tuesday this week?? but definitely a day within the long weekend just to be out draw some people.

Min

iolarnula - you can always come down for a visit, two hrs on the train should be fun drawing people... you would probably be exhausted when you get off though. hehe..

magic man - you can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! draw some landscapes and dead kangaroos on the way. mayeb you should plan for three weeks though. sometimes I wish australia wasn't so big.. it's so damn big...
