Brissie, Brisbane, Brisvegas, Brisneyland. Whatever you want to call it.
Shall we all try to meet up sometime soon? There seem to be quite a few of us lurking around. I am down in Beaudesert but will drive up for coffee anytime.

I think as Wahine isn't going to be over in time for this meetup, Serenity and Chloe, I think that you need to have the final say as to location!

Eidsvoid, oh yes, Arana Hills seems lovely. I'm also enjoying Brookside at Mitchelton for those days when I can't be arsed to drive to Indooroopilly or Chermside!

MrsDistinctlyMintyMonetarism · 23/05/2011 00:38

Just flicked back through the thread, can't believe I missed Eidsvold's news..sending you loads of good luck at the interview.

babylanguagelearner · 23/05/2011 00:43

I can't come to your meet up unfortunately, but as another Brisbane MNer I couldn't help but say hello.

enjoy!

chloeb2002 · 23/05/2011 03:28

I suggest in the cafe.... how about....the bit where the escalators come up and there is childrens play stuff?
