So I should remove at least a few of my 32 facial piercings? And maybe the mohawk isn't the most suitable style for this meeting. But don't think I'm giving up my skin-tight black jeans or waaaaay too tiny t-shirt! (they make me feel snug)

Heh, no, that really wouldn't make me comfortable

Thick black curly hair, glasses, green Monkey Magic t-shirt, extra skinny. That's me. (and pants, don't forget the pants...)

We know what you look like, Mark - we've seen the France photos, remember?
And no, I'm not jealous AT ALL...

I've have been quite busy of late and haven't had much time to post so just popped in to get up to speed.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again (and perhaps some new faces) tonight!

Yaaayyy, dECLAN's back - I was wondering what you were up to! We'll see you tonight.
(Sorry for the overuse of big grinning smileys today - it's Friday, and I'm excited!)

Cheers,
Claire

France photos? ...Noooo, don't think I do remember them... If I did I'm sure I would have been showing them to everyone at every opportunity...

Oh, wait...

Thanks Hazel - much appreciated. See you tonight!

BTW, I just checked out the Bar None website, and they have a mighty fine list of cocktails! Perhaps I shall have to sample one or two...

Well I don't know about the rest of you, but I had a great time on Friday night. Thanks folks!

Here's the pics

I managed to get home without paying any conscious attention to the direction I was walking and I really enjoyed the walk.

PS: Nothing has come to me for a name yet. Any inspiration for anyone else?

Hey guys and gals,

I had a great time on Friday, too! I'll definitely be going back to Bar None – perhaps on a less humid day, though.

Thanks for uploading the photos, Mark!

Can't wait for the next meet-up.

Brendan, if we can use the venue you mentioned sometime, that sounded cool. Videos, workshops, eating-in, BYO...

As for names, how about:

SPAM – Steve Pavlina Australia Melbourne
SPAsM – Steve Pavlina Australia (specifically) Melbourne
PMS – Pavlina Melbourne Sect
PAMM – Pavlina's Australian Melbourne Mash-up
MAD ASS – Melbourne Australia Discussion About Steve Stuff
MEDS – Melbourne Educational Discussion of Steve



I could go on...

Claire!

Great name ideas, I can't beat them for their acronyms! I was thinking about something along the lines of Personal Development for Smart Melbournians, which just makes PDSM.

I vote for SPAM!!

Love the photos Mark, thanks. Promise I'll wear a less see-through top next time, but it was just so hot and sticky that night!

I'm definitely up for the hand-on version of the next meet up. When shall we convene? Brendan, when CAN we convene?

Yaay
joy to you
Hazel

A creative burst there Claire. MAD ASS sounds kind of funny, but i dont know about using though. I never imagined myself to say yes to spam, But SPAM is good.

It wasnt exactly loud in there, but i did have difficulty hearing all of what was said, anything beyond 2 people next to me. Maybe it was just that i was tired. I was up since about 2 in the morning so that certainly did not help.
I am curious if anyone else had difficulty hearing fully the conversations across the group. Evan, i guess you would have been fairly right with that, as you were seated between everyone.

Hmm, I thought I replied to this again... *stratches head*

I had the same issue Alsy, and I noticed a few others had difficulty hearing me if it didn't raise my voice. Perhaps it's because we were underground and there was a lot of noise trapped down there.

Nice work Claire! SPAM is cool, but I really like SPAsM! And PAMM has the best sounding full title. Hmmm, but how to work Personal Development Forum into it? Heh, SPAM.PDF.

I was TOTALLY joking with those names!

I actually like Hazel's suggestion, PDSM, although the acronym is perilously close to BDSM.

SPAM.PDF is kind of cool, though – especially as all of us (so far) have some kind of IT/tech/geek background!

You may have only been joking Claire, but they are some creative acronyms you came up with. I like it

Hi fellow Melburnians,

Glad to be back in circulation after my big move and lots of issues with getting my wireless connected in my new house.

The pictures of the previous meet up are really good. As for the acronyms I really like PDSM but thats just my dom(inant) personality speaking!

Declan, glad to see you back online!

How's everyone looking for a meet-up in a couple of weeks? I haven't seen Brendan post recently – would be great if we could use the venue he suggested.

Perhaps a more structured event this time – we could do some goal setting/mastermind group kind of stuff... or we could just continue the general flow and see how we feel. I'll bring pen and paper just in case!

Hope everyone is well, and moving toward their dreams.

Cheers,
Claire

I like the idea of maybe putting an intention or goal 'out there' and then maybe coming back in a couple of months to see how it has progressed.

All sounds good to me!

Sorry I've been quiet, I have received the gorgeous man I've been intending (makes him sound like a Christmas present), and have been v happily distracted.

Happy to go along with suggestions, we need to track down brendan don't we?
Much love
Hazel
