so okay there's at least two people who live in sydney and live around my general area and there might be more
and i don't have many real life guy type friends
so maybe we should have a meet and greet one weekend. i'm thinking Mahoney's pub and then the big arcade next to it for centralness/gamingness/cheap drinks

good idea? bad idea?

not really guys come on. if you go there 12am sat night some drunk prick might cause a bit of trouble, but other than that you're fine.
i wouldn't mind playing some more street fighter 4.

Cool, wasn't sure. Heard stories of stabbings, asian gangs and the like. Never mind!

What else is there? I'm in the mood for rail shooters and rhythm games.

George St is one of the dodgiest areas in Sydney... if i'm leaving The Metro after a gig on a weekend i'll cab or bus it to oxford st rather then walk
but around 8 or 9 it should be cool
the bottom floor is all rhythm games
there are heaps of good rail shooters too

i'm actually more into pinball then arcade games... best pinball pub in sydney right now is the Courthouse in Newtown. Galaxy World has one machine right next to the SF4 machine

is the pub next to Camperdown Memorial Park and the cop shop and has frangipanis in its courtyard

Townie is next to Newtown station, has two floors, and is the place for late night drunkenness

both of them had a pretty good selection of tunes last time I was there

but the Courty has some great pinball

Yeah 19th actually, but stuvac's next week and so is the newtown festival, just saying.
Wow it's really surprising how local everyone is! I had no idea. Falsedan you should see the urinals in the QVB if you're into that kind of thing!

World Bar has vintage porn and Greek newspapers on the walls. there's one pub with really great graf everywhere... i think its the Clare. Abercrombie is also fun

worldbar. they have a whole bunch of fake books, too. Club 77 near by hase a strobe light in the leading-to-the-bathroom-room and it has a whole lot of porn all over the walls, can't remember what type tho.
Now i want to see this Shanononabercrombie. You can't really go wrong with a urinal, surely! it's basically just a wall with a drain.

what time are you on tlon?
edit:Around 11 eh? Oh gawd i'm definatley entering my dog in the dog show, or at least getting my sis to do it. I hope the prizes are good

World Bar also has that LEGO Space Invaders mural over the bar, which is pretty neat
i'm on super early... probably not worth getting to newtown fest that early

Hey lads, my band has a relatively important gig at the Annandale (probably) on the 3rd of December for Jager Uprising. Some sort-of-kinda band competition, except the Annandale just pick their favourite bands from that year to come back and compete for glory that they didnt really apply for!

*phew*

Anyway, its a massive honour, and itll be our first gig in a while due to singer illness. So there should be a solid crowd there for us and we will be pumped to play. If you guys like FUN ROCK MUSIC or just loud noises and alcohol come along and i will buy you a beer or a jagerbomb.

I was just discussing with someone the other day what a good name "Howling Milf" would be for a blues singer.
I'll try to come, and we should still go to the courthouse sometime, that was a good plan.

hey combining two things SB likes - Japan and garage rock - Japanese punk band Ikochi is playing at Hermann's Bar on sunday at 6. Brigitte Handley and the Dark Shadows are supporting and Jay is showing a doco on the Japanese rock scene before the bands... so Sydneysiders should come down!

shoot that sounds really really awesome but i can't make it fuuuuck that really does sound great though. aaaaargh. Actually i might come for the doco, i want to see what those naked city folks look like. And by the way i used to listen to the naked city a fair bit, so i've probably HEARD YOUR VOICE without knowing how about that.
