Nice getting some good numbers. I got a day trip planned that will be a shock to our anti white nerd bodies.
Edit: Just need some good weather on one of the days. Noodle aka Professor Peabody will be getting his guns out.
Yoyo, my exam is somewhere between the 13th and 17th, and the second i finish the paper i will stand up, yell "OFF TO THE MYSTICAL LAND OF THE DUMBLEDORES" and run all the way to my car, where i will drive to your house and not remember anything of what happened over the next 5 days.
its official. champi the one true moonstar, shall be attending between the 13th and the 18th. hope to share some potatoes in beer form with my loved ones!
I should be able to make the occasional day, children hamper the spending 1 week at Spud's house thing however.
Missus has a hen's party on the 18th so that night is out also due to aforementioned children, as stated by Xant to Edarus, there is no reason for me not to rock up as I live 20-30 mins from the place!
We couldn't get a whole 5 days off work, but we have booked flights for a weekend trip atleast.
Flying down on the 17th, arriving in Melb approx 5pm
Plan is (thnx to del ) to catch a shuttle bus to the train station, then train to ballarat, then I will sell my sweet ass to the first car heading towards spuds house!
Flying out again on the 20th.
Looking forward to meeting you guys in person!

AGFSDFSFDFSDGFSDDJADGJFAJDGJADJAD **** YOU WORK, **** YOU :'( :'( Looks like it will be an awesome time had by all, wish i could be there to meet everyone
and its 99% confirmed, me and Jak and hopefully cam will be making the trek up to ballarat Wednesday morning till sat/sun.
Also if any of the other south aussie TA members are thinking of going and want a spot in my car there's still 2-3 pots left, that goes for anyone else who is reasonably "on the way".
i would connect on my phone but it would be weird if i started talking (after not having spoken a word for 6 hours so far) and my phone is low on battery :'(
but yeah, mark me down as 100% confirmed, in case it wasn't clear earlier.
Thought id let you guys know, me and Kristie are looking at a room at the mecure (apparently just up the road a bit from spuds, according to google maps) so we can probs fit one or two on the floor if needed.

Yeah Spud already contacted me about putting some people up when possible.
Given that I'll still be working and coming going it wont be ideal on every day/night as I won't be sticking around at Spuds all night etc - but that being said I am able to supply some living room / a place to sleep until I have to go to work for a couple of people.
I'd assume Spud will work out who the lucky winners are so we can arrange numbers / space and bedding as my couch was made in the 50s and isn't good to sleep on at all.
Looking forward to sharing a soggy biscuit with you all!

An update on the fun so far:
Champi passed out in the shower after an hour of chundering non-stop.
Noodle, Krunch and Spidereight sleeping.
Cawkballs passed out on kitchen floor.
Rossi passed out in the back yard.
Del asleep in the tent.
Deth, Spud, Dippa and Cam all persevering watching movies.
Myself (sober) and Scara (drinking) the only ones in posession of our faculties at this stage... Soo many people needing water. Should have brought a nurses outfit...

Wow, you TA boys need to learn to hold your liquor
Suffice to say the nearby bottle-o AND supermarket are both now sold out of Jager... True story.
Speaking of which the boys walked to the fish and chip shop, bought 20 bux of chips and left the Jager there... Thank god I could still drive to go back and get it!

Man we lost our shit... The door opened but the curtains were closed and then Rossi slowly emerged on all fours with a look of confusion on his face, followed shortly by plopping down onto the floor going perfectly silent and still.

Since I was late returning to Spuds (2pm+) I was the sober one making sure people were ok.
Krunch snoring his head off in the kitchen with his chuckbucket nearby... Champi was the most care-intensive... One whole hour of spewing followed by falling asleep in the running shower xD!
But yeah, Rossi was making noises and moving

It was Cawkballs in the kitchen (Head Chef Cawkballs), not krunch. krunch was in the garage
Yeah I just clicked... Was gonna say Krunch was actually the one saying "guys i'm scared, I don't think I'll make it... I'm in trouble" before crashing out xD

I am possibly the most jealous person on the planet....also the story of the jager reminds me of when after 3 days drinking at Champi's place i wandered down to his local fish/chicken place smashed, at 3 in the arvo, with no shoes on, holding a stubby, ordered all my shit, realised i had no money and had to walk into woolies to use the ATM, finished my stubby, put it on the counter and the check-out chick was this girl i'd rooted last year.... o.O oh man that shit was funny
Hahaha ya I was joking, I figured you guys soldiered all day. Just thought it was funny that it's 1am and there was 2(?) people standing. :P Musta gone haaard. That's my boys!

Looks like Edarus has the ride side of things sorted.
If people are getting in after 6ish at the train station, I should be right to come pick you up.. stuck at work with meetings all afternoon, and unfortunately I cannot palm these ones off
