IT"S ON! Thursday, 15 December at Websters Bar, Newtown. Under starters orders from 4:00pm.
Yes, Newtown, get yer passports and smallpox shots up date and yerselves over to Sydney's new hipsterdom, sunny Newtown. The Websters place is a mere 70m from Newown railway station, it's at 323 King Street, slotted in just before that town squareish bit where King Street crosses over the railway line and Enmore Road veers off. Yes, 70m, I've paced it out. Websters has a roof bar up the top plus a crooked lounge where we can eat. The owner's an aficionado of obscure Septic whiskies and bourbons, they've got a lot for those who're inclined plus 16 Japanese whiskies. Oh, they've some decent beer on tap and the food's good.
Last year we had a Connecticut Yankee in attendance (tried for King Arthur but got us instead ), a young Greek coffee merchant and his mate (Moccona?), a fine fellow who was a Waggatah in a previous life, and a lecturing prop. Can we top that this year? Will Hugh Jarse make an appearance? Will ShtinaTina thrill us with her dazzling smile?
