OzBargain is turning 11 years old and to celebrate we are having meetups all over the country.

Our Melbourne meetup will be at Pokéd @ 111 Bourke Street from 5:30PM Thursday and is a gaming night (Catan, Cards Against Humanity, Exploding Kittens, etc.). Thanks to Justin from Pokéd and Gameology for lending out his venue and his time.

  • Free food (likely Dominos pizza + Shanghai Dumplings + maybe something else).
  • $2 soft drinks sold via Pokéd.
  • Free OzBargain t-shirt (with womens shirts this time). Limited supply of 1 box, first come, first serve (maybe 30 mostly black shirts?).
  • Free Not a Bot virtual badge.

If you don't want to hang around or interact with anyone, that is fine. You can come in, write your username down (so I can give you a badge) and take a shirt/food. I will be giving the t-shirts out strictly from 5:30PM and no earlier.

If there are any suggestions for food or something else you think would be worthy (Entertainment Book Swap, group buy, whatever), please let me know.

For people in other locations, we need your feedback and/or confirmations.

If there are others who wish to help organise a meetup, please do some in the threads above or start your own.

      There will be a pen and notepad at the venue. Low tech.

        Hmm.. when your username is 'anonymous'.. but you want to get a free t-shirt, but don't want to reveal your privacy, but you really want those dumplings.. I don't know what to do.

      Hmm… they all look like size S, M or L so it's likely there will be many shirts left over

    do decent girls turn up for these or is it all just a bunch of fat neck beard guys with ponytails?

    • WatchNerd on 27/11/2017 - 16:51

      Yes there are always lots of glamorous single women at these events, looking to meet guys who are really tight with their money.

        Glamorous single women will have to wait - I don't see any deals for flights to <insert location of ozb meetup>

    Should bring your switches along and play some network games

      And some eneloops and torches in case it gets dark.

      • MathNerd on 27/11/2017 - 17:26
        +3

        and some AmExs to Shop Small before midnight hits. Ah the dream

          And a Dyson to clean up after the meet

        • 2ndeffort on 29/11/2017 - 20:45

          Yeah I got confused too, but after research it all made sense. Funny how things work out

        • BRYCELICIOUS on 28/11/2017 - 09:37

          @MathNerd: Pokémon = Pocket Monsters, therefore, Pokéd = Pocket Food.

    • justinh93 on 27/11/2017 - 22:32

      Yes we did, but we didn't base the name off it.

      • lostn on 28/11/2017 - 08:01

        Oh ok. Makes sense.

  • Ali1988 on 27/11/2017 - 17:11

    I still remember Dec 2015 when I was planning to move down under. In the US we had slickdeals.com..Am not kidding, I found ozbargain and even though it was at the same scale as slickdeals was, it was amazing to find a kindred spirit site….so that boosted my decision to come down under..LOL…and I dont regret it ever.

    Chiming in with my RSVP. Can't wait for my first OzB meetup! Will be wearing my π t-shirt with pride :) Hoping to get an OzB t-shirt though, as that would be insanely good.
    See you guys there!

      For this crowd, I think it's expected to bring your own drinks and not spend a single cent at the venue.

    Let's have a drink

    • stellaaddicted on 27/11/2017 - 19:14

      I vote for drinks at Elephant and Wheelbarrow. Not really a gaming fan so the idea of catching up at Poke, having a word with other fellow members and heading to E&W sounds like a great combination. Sorry about this idea neil.

      • Associatedneil @ OzBargain on 27/11/2017 - 19:55

        No worries. Just let us know where you will be in the pub and we can send others over if they are interested.
