And so it has come to this. Certain shady figures from the Melbourne blogging underworld are trying to gain some legitimacy. Come, drink, be awkward amongst people whose blogs you've kind of heard of but not read, and...

Meet the pillars of the Melbourne blogging community *

Friday June 16th, 6:30ish
Lincoln Hotel
Carlton
(cnr Queensberry and Cardigan St.)

Meals are available at the pub and are generally good.

The Lincoln closes around 11pm, but plans are afoot to stay out later. If you plan to turn up very late, drop me an email or comment and I'll give you contact details.

* Actual pillars may be less impressive than pictured.

Harry, Bruce. Good to hear.

Also, for Harry, and any others new to the whole grogblog thing. Look for people who look vaguely similar to the ones in these pictures.

Yo! Will be there. I promise. As you know, I never miss an opportunity* to try to get pillar cred. Or big cheese cred, for that matter.

Darlingheart, do whatever pleases you. However, you seem to be downplaying your own role as a key organiser in this event, if I may say.

Thanks for the recipes, by the bye.

But such loyal readers The Daddy; willing to chase you on your nomadic jaunt from blog to blog.

Alex, down-playing, shifting blame, call it what you will. You are most welcome to the recipes; if you can decipher the cooking instructions so much the better. I tried truffles with absinthe and coated in cinammon sugar today. I highly recommend.
