TPF DOES SYDNEY!! (post your piccies here kids!)

[Xmetal]

What a pearler of a day!! I must say it was an honor to have walked with such awesome people! The location and weather was perfect. :D Bit of a shame some of us didn't show up but It didn't dampen the spirits of those present. :)

Shouts go out to Mark (Vonnagy), Benny (Westman) and James (James M) for making it a special day

Special shouts go out to Darryl (Luckydog) for taking me down and home again!! :D :D you're a champion!!

Great stuff Xmetal! I went to upload my pics but found i needed to update my credit card detail (curse expiry dates). Will post mine hopefully tomorrow once they approve my card details.
Was a cool day. After Xmetal slept in, we arrived at Luna Park with 10 mins to spare. Westman was sitting waiting and was easy to spot thanks to his Avatar and the multiple camera bags. Next was the foreigner, Vonnagy, who was keen for a beer the moment we got there and then along came James M.
Had some fun in Coney Island where Vonn learnt his future and his kissing prowess (both from machines). He reckons it said he was an experienced kisser, i'm sure i read "needs more practice". :)
A quick drink (non beer type) and then it was off on foot for a walk across the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Stopped in at Ken Duncan's photo gallery and marvelled at his work (bloody showoff) and then to a pub to quench Vonn's thirst for some amber fluid. A cruise through the markets, down to Circular Quay where James M and Westman parted and the remainder caught a ferry back to their starting points and homeward bound.
A great day with some great friends, and a meet which will need to be done again.

Hey Guys,

It's Jo, the red head who spent the Sunday following you all around Sydney. Had a blast by the way.

I finally decided to charge my camera up and start taking pics again. 4 hours of watching you guys was kind of an inspiration.

I just checked out your Sydney meet pics. They look awesome. You all have fantastic eyes for this and very creative with your shots.

Was nice meeting you all and I am looking forward to seeing more of your work

[luckydog]

Hey look guys, it's our groupie!! :)
Wlecome aboard Jo. Has the house gotten back to normal after Mark left or are you still picking up after him??

[gonzo]

Hahaha, good to see ya round these parts miss kitty ;) As you can see they love to torment me here :P

Mr Luckydog, did you save some of the lollies for the kids or did you and Ian eat them all on the way home?

[Xmetal]

Mr Luckydog, did you save some of the lollies for the kids or did you and Ian eat them all on the way home?

I didn't see any lollies on the way home so i'm betting the kids got them. :)

Hurry up with the pics Mark! :D

[luckydog]

Still more than 3/4 of the jar full of boiled lollies left Mark :) How did the computer forensics course go?
