r2pi Posted August 27, 2012 I would like to come if I can find time away from the fam. Don't think I can justify $150 to the Mrs sorry Ronny (I know you're not turning a profit - just the way it is for some of us) but a free meetup would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RonnySimulacrum Posted August 28, 2012 We should have the workshop info up soon guys, so i will let you know when. I was by no mean implying people need to be a part of the worhshop, more just hang out in the grounds around there maybe eat lunch with Dennis if we get lucky. Plant heads chilling at the abbotsford convent on that day as many of us do anyway ;-) sounds good, what sort of workshop? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
etherealdrifter Posted August 28, 2012 I am going to make it the 21st of October as I am going to Bali for a few weeks and will be back around the 19th if thats sweet with everyone. I have the travel bug atm and got cheap flights to Bali i'm in for the 21st oct sharxxie. i'd like to go to the convent abbortsford thingy but i can only do 1 because i'm on tour with guns and roses atm. So all in all, i'd wanna see you in the bot gardens before you disappear to queensland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Francois le Danque Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) Guess I'm a bit paranoid, what with Channel 7 and their hidden cameras can someone pleeeease explain this to me? i missed it and i'm so confused :'( as for dates, i am easy like sunday morning, as usual. however my impatient nature says we should have meets as soon as possible! the more the better. i reckon every season is too sparse, and if you miss one, then it's a 6 month wait! sux. just my 2c edit: i also very much second the notion of NOT having it on football day. going anywhere then is a nightmare. and if some of our number like to watch the neanderthalic chasing of the egg then they will be missed Edited September 2, 2012 by frank Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
etherealdrifter Posted September 2, 2012 how about monthly get together's Frank? once every 4 weeks would give us all the chance to make more meets than miss them:) Do members in melb reckon 1 in 4 weeks is feasible?? i'd come once a month easy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazonian Posted September 2, 2012 Its great to catch up with you guys, so I too think 4 meets a year are a bit sparse ?!?! Looking forward to seeing yous at the next meet. @ frank... I think the channel Seven thing was in relation to the interview that channel seven did on Shaman Australis nursery/store. http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=32861&st=75 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halif Posted September 3, 2012 ^Yeah that's it exactly (the Channel 7 thing). Frank, you missed out on something crazy silly. Luckily, there's lots of info about it on these boards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sharxx101 Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) A meet every month sounds good, and can make different meeting spots for members only. If people are worried about the channel 7 thing maybe we should make the meets in secret locations and make it a member only thing? I am not paranoid I have nothing to hide... except my bare bottom Looking forward to this meet, it will be a good one!

qualia Posted September 5, 2012 we should develop secret pass-phrases so we know who to trust Sometimes a guest achieves a use. The dumpling stops a minor catastrophe. etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazonian Posted September 5, 2012 4 Meets a month sounds good, That's a meet a week sharxx,lol. I was thinking more like one a month.?!...But you guys can go ahead, but your not allowed to have any fun without me . I suppose its all good for you to suggest a meet a week since you are flying the coop sharxx. It wont be the same without you, you know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sharxx101 Posted September 5, 2012 My mistake I meant to say a meet every month Amazonian ") I think a meet every month would be great. Mixing it up between Saturday and Sunday would be good for members that work wkends. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy Vtak Posted September 6, 2012 I'm a newbie and I'm quite keen on meeting some people. I was planning on coming to the October 21st meet, but if you guys were to arrange a September meet (say around Sep 23?) I'd be there for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
etherealdrifter Posted September 6, 2012 we should develop secret pass-phrases so we know who to trust Sometimes a guest achieves a use. The dumpling stops a minor catastrophe. etc. the rain in spain stays mainly in the plain (then do a reverse handshake) theses geeses are pieces for me meices(then quack 3 times) long dong song is quite strong( then emulate some background porno music.....wong ckokka wokka wong chokka wokka...) or the ultimate password cavort don't sort (then slap each other) n.b you must be wearing a pink carnation otherwise this method is null and void. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halif Posted September 8, 2012 LOL at the secret passwords! I have one too... Upon approaching someone who we believe may be 'one in the know', we should say "hey, how's it going?" ... Actually, that could get confusing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carlturney Posted September 24, 2012 Hi All, I've scanned through all the posts on this thread, but can't figure out WHEN and WHERE. I believe the date is confirmed as Sunday October 21st 2012 -- but what TIME of day? I believe we meet at "Gate C", but of what ADDRESS or famous venue? I'm only growing legal things, and you may not want to broadcast the above details on this forum. I also may not visit this forum again. So please contact me directly via mobile, landline, email, or snailmail. That info is on my "company" website (at the bottom of this post). If you don't know me: I co-started the predecessor to EGA in Ringwood, about 10 years ago, and attended the Ethnobotanicas up at (Torsten's and Daniel's) before that time.

Humanmolecule Posted September 27, 2012 I've somehow managed to zone out or miss the meets for the last 4 years ive been in melbourne, so hope to see you all on the 21st of oct! P.S I think more frequent meets in melb would be a great thing, even small ones, just to get to know the local plantheads and trade chats.. peace! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Halif Posted October 6, 2012 One week to go... Let's hope the weather is better than it is today! It's cold and I feel like an old man who doesn't want to go outside (and there are some strange looking teenagers standing in the street... I will keep watching them through the curtains in case they do anything unpredictable) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
