First BTUB Meetup
Greetings all.
Welcome to the first post of BTUB (that I know of) at least on WordPress.
If you want to get me I’m @iankath
Today it was suggested by @cybner that maybe we should meet up as she was going to be in Brisbane on Wednesday and would like to do the catch up thing.
Well the chat has gone around a little and I thought I’d throw up this quick blog for a common focal point.
I suggested that Lock ‘n’ Load in 142 Boundary Rd West End would be suitable venue as there is relatively easy parking and it’s a pretty ok venue. @ManiacD @cybner are both cool with that.
@snagy has mentioned he is on Eagle St as is @jeffwharton and a venue in the city may be more suitable. My two bobs worth is that traffic is a bitch in the city so getting out would be good.
If you want to make it close to the city I thought that maybe The Ship Inn at the southern end of Southbank could be good. The parking is ok around there if your driving and it not too far and a pleasant walk from the city over the Goodwill Bridge.
Lets talk and get the word out.
Cheers 
Hello! Thanks Ian…would love to come but can’t as I’ve got a business trip on. Hopefully I’ll make the next one
I am happy to head where ever – am relying on you guys to suggest a good spot as I dont know Brissy much at all…
I’m looking forward to catching up with you all on Wednesday!
Heyas. I vote Brisbane. Mostly because if you work in the city like me, you have no car to drive anywhere! Where as there is always parking in the city (although expensive) and all roads lead to the city (by roads, I mean buses). SouthBank is walkable for me also. Pig’n'Whistle at Indooroopilly is a nice spot as well.
I’m Gold Coast and really require inexpensive parking and a venue that is easy to get in and out of without harassment by police (RBTs)… I’m not overly familiar with Brisbane.. just think of the parking as that will impact how long I can stay.
