[VIC] OzBargain Meetup & Gaming Night: Free T-Shirts, Food & Drinks fr. 5:30PM Thursday (Nov 28) @ Pokéd (Bourke St. Melbourne)

3270

OzBargain is turning 13 years old and to celebrate we are having meetups all over the country.

Our Melbourne meetup will be at Pokéd @ 111 Bourke Street (Bourke/Exhibition) from 5:30PM Thursday and is a gaming night. Thanks to Justin from Pokéd and Gameology for lending out his venue and his time.

  • Free food: Likely cheap pizzas (Pepperoni, Veggie, Cheese) + Woolworths Specials (Look for the guy pushing a trolley from QV).
  • Free drinks (non-alcoholic).
  • Free OzBargain t-shirt. You must PM me with a size to reserve a shirt before Wednesday (27/11) 12PM 3PM
  • Free games & prizes (need to think about this, Suggestions welcome!).
  • 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 (reserved)/food.

T-Shirts:

  • New orange on grey t-shirts. Pic.
  • 200 Shirts (6x more than last year) (XS: 20; S: 45; M: 60; L: 45 XL: 20; 2XL: 10). There were at 70 people in attendance last year so should be OK. 3 full suitcases of t-shirts. T-shirts have all been allocated.
  • You need to PM your request for a shirt. Deadline is Wednesday (27/11) 12PM.
  • We will be prioritising those who have never received a shirt, contributions/time on OzBargain. (e.g. people who just sign up for account get low priority). Also allows me to not be bombarded with PMs all at once.
  • I'll PM you sometime on Wednesday to let you know if you've been reserved a shirt. If you haven't you'll be put on standby.
  • If you don't collect the shirt by 6:30PM, we'll go to standby list, followed by first come, first serve.

PM me the size you want. (Sorry only 1 colour) All shirts allocated, no more PMs thanks.

Rough plan:

  • From 5:30PM: Meetup starts. Grab a name tag, sign the birthday card (receive Not a Bot Virtual Badge) & shirt if reserved.
  • 5:30-5:45PM: Food arrives.
  • 6:30PM: Free t-shirts to those on standby list followed by whoever is there.
  • 6:45PM: Group photo (voluntary).

Also a good chance to do an entry for the OzBargain 13th Birthday Competition where you can win $100-$600


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

      edit: There was one Saturday 23rd. And another cancelled one that failed due to lack of numbers.

        Re your edited comment: Ballarat is nowhere near Brisbane. They are over 1700km apart by road and 19 hours of driving :-)

        Only saw this meet - because it is a Deal.

        Rarely read Forums or front page, so missed Brissie Meet😣
        Was looking forward to it.
        Oh well, have been to 2 before.

        But there have never been any t-shirts for Brisbane meets👕

          I wonder if you emphasise your words in person?

        • +1

    The dude on the top left hand corner of the photo doesn't look interested.

    • +4

      He rather be home looking at bargains.

    • He was upset that someone broden'd all the sausage rolls

  • +6

    Love that 1 guy on the left in the picture.

    • Yes, he has that classic Marshall Eriksen look, unlike Barney Stinson…….

  • Count me in!! :D

  • the size you want and preference of colour.

    I don't see a list of the colour options, just that it's orange on grey?

    Thanks for organising!

    • Yep, only one colour this time.

  • Looking forward to this!

  • I would of loved to come to this, but wife is 8 days from due date and cant really travel down from Central Coast… bummer.

    • +3

    Didn't realised there're shit loads of Asian chicks on Ozbargain. When there's bargain there're Asians :)

    • +3

      … and surprisingly not many Indians.

      • +3

        Have an OzBargain meet up in Parramatta (Sydney), and you will get virtually exclusively Indians and a few Middle Easterners.

        The Chatswood one will, of course, be an all Chinese affair.

        Again, the ethnic representation has nothing to do with bargains, and everything to do with location.

        • Chatswood keeps winning the lottos this year

        • +1

          Have an OzBargain meet up in Parramatta

          We did have one 2 weeks ago.

          you will get virtually exclusively Indians and a few Middle Easterners

          I see

    • Who doesn't love a bargain?

      • +4

        Anglos apparently.

    • +3

  • +6

    Jv should do live commentary with a microphone.
    Weak puns, dated references, and indirect criticisms of other people's contributions.

    • +11

      I wanted to hear what the bold sounds like.

      • +7

        I imagine each bold word he stretches his neck out and in and opens his eyes real wide

  • Oh man, I won’t be able to make it. Hope everyone has a good time though.

  • +2

    Any bargains ?

    • +1

      It's a freebie…

  • Damn, I'm not available on Thursday.
    Have fun those who can go!

  • -5

    Being a unpaid billboard for OzBargain WITH their t-shirt. How is this a bargain? Most t-shirts will end up in landfill to be honest once the the novelty passes.

    The only positive would be turning up as the mods would not being able to censor comments made that do not fit their political narrative.

    This is obvious in recent discussions on this site.

    • +2

      Bazinga!

    • +16

      I legitimately would wear an Ozbargain shirt with pride. I've been coming to this place for years and love interacting with such an utterly bizarre community all the while spending money I don't have on things I don't need.

      • same.
        i would like a t-shirt too :-)

      • +3

        Same I've been on here (under a different account) since I was 13. This site and Reddit practically raised me.

      • I would wear it as a subtle message to other ozbargainers, as a friendly hello

    • +2

      I'd like Broden to autograph mine.

    • +3

      You must be real fun at (ozbargain) parties.

    • You're just bitter because Eneloops are passé.

    • I mean there are other freebies involved…
      I like the OzBargain t-shirts because I like the site and the community.
      I don't wear them that often, but this site and community is worth being proud of being a part of.

  • Those t-shirt sizes are rough. I have a couple OzB shirts that don't fit right. Hard to guess what size we are. Can't we hold them up to our body when we're there them decide?

    • Sizing isn’t a true indication of the actual size. You rather go by the materials measurements.

      • Which don't seem to exist, unless you can show me otherwise?

        • Yeah I know :/ since these are customs. Will need to speak to the company who manufactured these t-shirts about the size measurements

    • Happy to measure the shirt if you like? While I am no fashion guru, I find the sizing is similar to other t-shirts I have.

      • Size xl

        • You want me to measure the XL shirt?

    • This is exactly why I hate buying clothes online unless they provide a size chart (and even then size charts are sometimes wrong!)

  • bomba

  • does anyone have the google maps page for this poked? I keep getting confused :(

  • +5

    Catering for the OzBargain crowd with the repeated use of the word 'Free' hahaha

  • hahahha why the guy on the left is so unhappy with so many ladies around him!

    • +2

      Looks like he's stuck there with his girlfriend…

    • The lady by his side must be his gf/wife? Hahaha

    • Came to comment the same lol
