Skepticlawyer’s Sydney blogmeet

I’ll be in Sydney for work stuff in mid-December, and have earmarked December 16 (that’s a Saturday) to meet up with Sydney bloggers and other interested parties. Jason over at Catallaxy is in charge of time and venue (I know very little about Sydney). I’ve also got a bit of spare time otherwise, so a convivial libertarian dinner on another night is on the cards, too.

  1. That’s almost sounds good enough to motivate me down to Sydney for a few days. Perhaps we should call a LDP strategy meeting for the same time.

  2. Sounds like a good idea. I’m not sure where I’ll be for the first two nights (I’ll find out in due course), but after that I’ll be in Coogee with friends. I won’t have a car (I’m being flown down); the various social activities planned will determine how long I stay.

  3. I work in the CBD and I’m usually good for a coffee. Send me an email at terje.petersEn at gmail dot com and I’ll give you a number. Else get Jason to do so.

  4. Jason’s organising a libertarian dinner separate from the main blogmeet. Email him for details, Terje.

  5. heck Terje, I had no idea you were a Sydney sider.
    I always assumed you were a Queenslander.

  6. Geez, I just left a message on Catallaxy about this and you’re all over here.
    I agree with Humphreys. An LDP meet would be a good move. We have a lot to talk about, including Queensland.
    Perhaps Terje will come too and provide his DOB so his membership will help get the party registered.

  7. The LDP meeting needn’t be confined to the Friday night (the 15th), either (where work will have me tied up until about 8pm). The 16th is the main blogmeet I flagged on Catallaxy, obviously. However, I can stay in Sydney until Monday or Tuesday of that week if required. Maybe both dinner and a meeting is in order.

  8. Wherever you go for the grogblog, just be visible to us poor people whose eyes have been destroyed by too much staring at a computer screen. :-)

  9. Jason,

    Heck no. Their all nuts up there. Too much sunshine I suspect. I was up there a few weeks ago for the first time in about a decade to visit my sister and everybody seemed to be having way too much fun.

    I grew up on a farm outside Coffs Harbour (NSW) but I’ve lived in Sydney since 1989 when I moved down to go to UNSW. I’m 36 and I’ve been driving a ‘94 coomodore for 8 years now (it’s my first car). I run an IT consultancy in the CBD with my brother. Married with 3 kids. Did I mention that we pay too much tax?

    Regards,
    Terje.

  10. I’ll redo my braids just for you ff. A six foot blond with cornrows should stand out in the crowd ;)

  13. Drinking and talking politics…, I’m keen!

    Comment by Michael Sutcliffe | November 23, 2006

  14. Can avid readers of the Thoughts on Freedom and Catallaxy come along?

    Comment by Stephen | November 28, 2006

  15. That’s the whole idea, Stephen! Jason is going to do a blogbash post over at Catallaxy once all the details have been ironed out.

    Comment by skepticlawyer | November 28, 2006

  16. Very good idea. Real live libertarians, all in a bunch. I’ll try to make it. Please keep us posted with details of when and where.

    Comment by Justin | November 28, 2006

  17. Details here, Justin.

    Comment by skepticlawyer | November 28, 2006

  18. damn it. I’ll be in Sydney on the 25th, 26th. If the two things were a bit closer I’d reschedule flights, but that’s a bit far apart.
