SO yes this is the thread where we see if we can actually organise concrete things and make them happen
At the moment seems like we're doing things in that most lame of states, sicktoria, because all the melbournians can't be bothered to travel to Sydney (:P) (hence the thread title) and planned dates are first week of July maybe 1st - 6th?

Mikazuki (VIC)
Om of the Nom (VIC)
eyestott (VIC)
Hanasawa (VIC)
DeasVail (NSW)
Espeonage (NSW)
/maybe:

If I'm forgetting you post in here and I'll add you to the list
Things we definitely need to nail down:
- precise dates
- places to stay
SYDNEY / NSW PEEPS PLAN
DeasVail and I are thinking of flying out from Sydney the night of the 29th (arriving late at night, 11ish) and flying back the night of the 5th / early morning of the 6th (price-dependent, iirc early on the 6th is about half the price of late on the 5th but there might be a few cheap flights I'm overlooking, I only skimmed through).
If you are from Sydney / NSW and you want to catch the same / close flights so we can all meet up and head off to hotels simultaneously let me know ASAP because booking prices increase the closer you get to the date of departure
ACCOMMODATION FOR OUT-OF-STATERS
We're thinking of staying in a hotel over the course of the 6 nights at about $50 ish a room a night unless we can find something better (but it doesn't seem like anyone can really host in Melbourne).
One room with two single beds is obviously half the price of two rooms each with their own bed, so if you're interested in sharing a room let me know ASAP and we'll try to sort things out. Alternatively if you are a Melbournian and know a place with cheaper accommodation that isn't shite please let me know
