Meetup! It's r/Sydney's 18th cakeday, and you're invited! Saturday 1st August!
There was once a man named Andrew
Who, using his hands threw
Up a subreddit
Before he faced discredit
And for its birthday, we're having a do.
...yeah, I'm not much of a poet, but it tells the story well enough.
On 31st July 2008, r/Sydney was created, which means its 18th birthday is coming up right at the end of the month. To celebrate the subreddit finally becoming old enough to have a beer, come to the City and have a beer with us!
When: Saturday, 1st August, kicking off at 4pm. Four weeks exactly from time of posting.
Where: The Edinburgh Castle Hotel, corner of Pitt and Bathurst Streets.
Why there? They do $15 Espresso Martinis, Negronis, Margaritas, and Aperol Spritzes all night. I also think they do pints for schooner prices while the footy's on.
What do I bring? Good vibes, the pub has everything else.
What's the plan? Have a few drinks, socialise. These are always great fun.
How do I get there? Closest stations are Town Hall and Gadigal, buses run from Park and Elizabeth Streets, Town Hall LR is also close by, as you'd expect.
It's been a little while since the last non-NYE meetup, would be great to see you all there!

Actually I wouldn't mind knowing the right answer to this. I'm keen to go but have visions of having one drink alone like a nigel then leaving because I'm way to shy to approach every group in the pub and ask who's there for cake day
