BeShakey Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I know a few people are going to Sydney and are keen for a drink either pre or post show. There seemed to be a lot of people that have been here a lot longer than me at the Melbourne show, so I assume you're going to Sydney too? Anyway, it looks like a lot of people will be there, so does any local have any suggestions for a good place to have a drink prior to the show? It'd be good to finally meet some folks.

eckythump Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Count me in! I'm not an expert on the area and this will be my first Opera House show, but I believe there's a bar there which would work? I'm travelling solo from Melbourne for these shows, and then on to Wellington and Auckland after. So excited! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jack324 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I don't post here often, but I would definitely be up for a meet-up. Would everyone be okay with the Opera Bar? It is a bit on the pricier side of things, but not too bad by Bennelong Pt. standards (I think it's about $7 for beer and $10 for wine and cocktails). Otherwise, there are some cheaper pubs closer to Circular Quay, but none within a kilometer of the venue or so. So, which night would work best for everyone? And pre-show or post-show?

BeShakey Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Opera Bar works for me. I don't get into Sydney until late afternoon, so I might not be able to make a pre-show drink on Tuesday, but other than that I'm easy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eckythump Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I land in Sydney at 3pm, so barring any weather/plane mechanical issues I'm easy too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eckythump Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Wilco aren't on until 9:30pm with no support, so plenty of time for a pre show drink. I'll probably get there around 8pm (have to make sure I get a poster!). Look for a tall guy, probably wearing a blue checked short sleeve shirt tonight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nedb Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Melbourne crew represent! Great meeting you all and spending two quality nights with good company and good Wilco! Lets not just leave it to the next Wilco show to catch up.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eckythump Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Agreed! Really enjoyed meeting everyone. Saw that the Milk Carton Kids have been announced for Thornbury Theatre in June, might see you there Dave? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 thornbury theatre?.. just down the road for me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BeShakey Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 It was great catching up with folks. I saw that Milk Carton Kids had announced two shows and given the recommendation I'm keen to go to at least one. Maybe see you guys there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nedb Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I'll be going to the St. Kilda show at this point. Maybe Thornbury as well depending on $$$$'s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
