G'Day Mates,

We have a few getting together on PAX Melbourne on the Saturday. We are looking at 3pm or close to on the Saturday somewhere in PAX. Keep an eye on this post for more detail. And for all the Adult players we will also be looking at a dinner and drinks that night.

Cheers,

HP.

Hey gents.

After the success of 'ARMD does PAX 2014' the dropship HR Puffenstuff will be descending on Melbourne once again . We have about 5-10 of New Homes finest around for PAX this year, and it would be great to meet some other aussie mwo players!

I'm happy to rep ARMD in any meet up plans you come up with guys.

Literally just posted about this. I'm in! Anyone got some accommodation tips? Still have to book. Most likely out of the city at this rate.

What's your budget - cost is more of a factor than convenience, but you'd prefer to not be having an epic hike to get there just to save a few bucks yeah?

Unless you want to stay outside of the city, it's going to cost big $$$... the weekend of PAX is the weekend prior to the Melbourne Cup, so you can imagine inner city hotels etc push their rack rates up.
Have a look on AirBNB too - I saw some good rates on there...

There were a couple of affordable options in St Kilda, but outside of Ibis budget (aka formula 1 rebranded) nada inner city without eating into the GDP of a small oil producing country.

So any plans for a dinner catchup yet? Happy to arrange a TS meeting sometime soon to suss out times and locations.
Last year when I organised "ARMD does PAX 2014" we used Google hangout during the weekend to keep in contact too.. something to keep in mind.
Keen to reinact the famous 'Southbank Charge' fernsie?

We have no set plans yet.

So might require keeping an eye here and meet Saturday somewhere in PAX and go from there.

As we get closer something might come together but honestly these things happen on short notice nest. :)

I'm around on the Saturday. Not sure what time I was leaving. It would be good to catch up with a group of Aussie Mechwarriors. I will try and keep an eye on this topic to find out what is happening.

Well it looks like I will be at PAX on the Saturday now. Hopefully all us Mechwarriors are still planning on getting together?

Ok... so given how close PAX is thinking of booking somewhere on Southbank for sat night beers and food.
How is everyone with going a lil' Steiner and going to the hophaus at Southbank or Munich Brauhaus? The ARMD guys will be sorting out a table at one of these and other units are more than welcome to join us for steins and a feed. .

Cool mate. Did you account for a few of us in your booking or should I do my own?
