Hey gang! It's that time of year again (well, almost) where us Victorian stress heads get together for a few hours of food, Frisby, card games and awkward conversation! Get keen!
We're currently just gaging interest, so if you want to come, check when you may be available and pop a vote or ten up on the poll. Feel free to also comment in this thread with ideas or questions, or reasons why you can/can't come. These meetups are for everyone, no matter if you're a meetup veteran or a new user, and it'd be sad to miss you if you wanted to come but just didn't post your queries.
(weekends are unfortunately unavailable, but only because they're reserved for AN's amazing lecture series. If you haven't signed up for FREE VCE lectures, here's a thread with all you need to know and links to the tickets. )
Whoop whoop! So ready for this.

I’m so excited. Whoop whoop.
I would prefer a Monday or Wednesday. But I will probably be able to make it any day.
Just maybe not for long because Uni.
-
Keen, but can only really do Tuesdays and Fridays after 2 :')
(That being said, would be cool if it was on the 12th ^-^ )

Is this adult life?
-
Mondays and Fridays are best for me! Aside from that I can potentially do Tuesday afternoons, but a bit limited because of uni. Hopefully I'll also not be working :)
Is this adult life?
Was meant to catch up with some friends in mid-Feb, we had to reschedule to March, then we've had to reschedule again to mid-April. I'm resigned to the fact I'll probably just never see them again
-
Hopefully I'll also not be working :)
Feel free to bring your entire organisation along - the more the merrier!

in that case can I bring my school :P

Super duper keen! Missed the last one so I really want to make it to this!!
Excited to see how different y'all look from your profile pics ;D ;D
Anything we should know / bring?
I actually look exactly the same - it's uncanny!
-

... As long as they bring good banter

really hope you can! I for one am significantly less attractive than mine haha
(and J41 isn't joking, the likeness is fantastic)
Things to know:
- will most likely be at Carlton Gardens
- if you have a portable speaker remember it because it's almost tradition that we all forget >.>
- picnic blankets are very useful
- it's suuUUPer chill, like seriously don't feel the need to dress up like you're going to meet your new girlfriend (ha)
- please for the love of all things sacred, check the weather and rug up if needed
- everyone is welcome to bring along a friend!
Aaand that's about it! When a date is decided I'll make an official post with everything :)
-
Yay! I'm excited!! I hope I can come!! ;D
-
Looking forward to it!
I'm pretty free on the holidays, so it would be a pretty big prank if it fell on a day I couldn't come...
Hopefully this time the weather will treat the Tim tams better thought...
how should I be dressing?
-
how should I be dressing?
I usually go left arm/leg first. Seems to do the trick!

I have been doing it backwards all this time! No wonder people look at me funny!

Balsamic please, not ranch.
Wait....... How should I dress??!
-

Salad. Always salad.
Hopefully this time the weather will treat the Tim tams better thought...
Melted Tim Tams have the strangest texture, but are still OK for eating... surely?
My plans in April aren't set right now (still in the works currently), so I can't answer the poll yet. Will try to figure out as soon as I possibly can. :)
-

I prefer my salads undressed actually - Crazy, I know...
well.....apparently not like you are meeting your new girlfriend

Keep it cool as a cucumber then. A cucumber in a salad, that is.
-
From the four dates that currently have 7+ votes three of them are rather inconvenient. Hoping Monday the 8th ........ unless polling has already finished.
-
Pretty much anything except Sunday 14th - Thursday 18th is good for me, looking forward to meeting you all!
-
Dates in April most likely confirmed. Pretty much I'll be available during lunch hour any weekday.
-
Alright, thanks for your votes, everyone! It's looking like Monday the 8th, Monday the 15th and Friday the 19th are the main days of interest, with Friday the 19th leading at 10 votes. We will be finalising the date real soon, so everyone, if you have friends who might want to come or know another user who hasn't seen the meetup, drag them over and get them to vote ASAP! I'll be creating a new thread with the date and time of the meetup, as well as where and what to bring/expect in the next couple of days.
Edit: I did a stupid, fixed now
-
Just wanted to mention that April 19 is Good Friday - I'm not sure if that makes it easier or harder for anyone who has voted but just letting y'all know

Thanks, MB_
I've just been notified that a couple people can't make it on the 19th - everyone, if your votes are changed in any way on the 8th, 15th or 19th, please PM me and I'll take care of it.
-
Final date options are up now! Head on over to vote, if you can. :)

Kids! The time is now! Bring your friends! Your friend's friends! Pictures of your doggos! Your actual doggos please! But most importantly, your charmingly socially awkward selves! The date has been decided, the stars have aligned, the next ATAR Notes meetup is officially up and running!
Who: EvErYbOdY
What: The siccest party around
When: Monday the 8th of APRIL, 10-2 but not really 2 because we always end up mucking around till at least 4
Where: Carlton Gardens, about a 10 minute walk from Melbourne Central or a 5 minute walk from Parliament Station.
Why: BECAUSE WE WISH TO SHOWER YOU WITH LOVE AND COOL BANTER
What to bring:
🎶 Your awesome selves because you're awesome <3
🎶 Food if you want, we always end up with surplus for people to take home!
🎶 A Frisby so we can almost decapitate each other and drop it a lot (@AlphaZero, if you can)
🎶 Interesting facts about yourself and pre-prepared conversation topics because we're all pretty socially inept
🎶 Picnic blankets/towels, one per person is the ideal
🎶 Wholesome memes
🎶 A smile, and if you can't bring one that's okay, I'll bring a couple spares.
So excited to see people there! Cannot wait to meet some new people too!

Really encourage everybody to come along, no matter whether you have 0 posts, 1 post, 200 posts, 10,000 posts, or anything in between (or over!). It'll be great. :)

Does it matter if we are ridiculously socially awkward and have no idea how to communicate with others?

Not at all. ;D ;D ;D

Many of us feel that way about ourselves, you'll be okay!
-

If you were not socially awkward you would not fit in. :P
But seriously, come along no matter what your irl communication skills are like. I am super socially awkward and it has been nerve wrecking going to the meetups and the build up but once you are there it is just super fun and chill.
-
Can no longer come, sadly (work), but I hope everyone has fun nonetheless!

So conflicted about whether or not to upvote this.

Tomorrow, tomorrow tomorrow is the day! Countdown is currently at 21 hours and 26 minutes!! Eeeek
Last minute reminder; if anyone has any card games they'd like to bring, that'd be great. Also, our AN Frisby will unfortunately be absent this round, so if someone else would like to do the honours of bringing a new one for us to play with that'd be amazing!
Can't waaaiiit

I am here right now.
I have a grey jacket on, and are on my macbook leaning up against a tree next to the normal meetup spot. And I have wireless headphones around my neck.
-
Where is the normal meeting place? Could someone upload a pic or something? I'll probs be there around 11:30, looking forward to seeing you guys!

Right about there. If you’re coming from Melbourne Central walk straight up La Trobe and you won’t be able to miss them.
Have fun, send photos <3

A few small criticisms.
1. Too much food
2. Everyone was too welcoming
3. Spider Frisbee was too lit
4. Moustaches fell off too quickly
5. Not enough time
6. Someone remembered a speaker
7. Too fun
8. Organisation was perfect
9. It’s not my fault the racket broke.

3. Spider Frisbee was too lit
Yes. Thanks MB for the Frisby, although it it more of a art piece than a sporting implement

Where does this fall in your 43,542 top moments of your life?
Yes. Thanks MB for the Frisby, although it it more of a art piece than a sporting implement
Yes, definitely an art piece. Never used for any sort of sporting game - that is why it looks exactly the same
