Powerhouse Museum's Star Wars exhibition
DtoidAustralia | 5:41 AM on 01.29.2009 1 comments


Hello my fellow Aussies,
I have decided to visit the Star Wars exhibition that is currently on in Sydney and thought there may be others wanting to join. Let's make a day of it and if you want to head to the Rocks with us afterwards for drinks you're welcome to.
Meet there at 12pm on Friday February 20th, 2009
Details are below also email me at foo.liz86@gmail.com if you have any questions or need my mobile number to come along.
Also don't forget to join the new DtoidAustralia google group.
Goto the following link and request membership. The Ghost or myself will approve it within 48 hours(no guarantees with that time but so far we're doing pretty well with achieving it)
And remember, you don't need to be in Sydney for this group. You just need to be in Australia and wanting to find other Australian Dtoiders for NARP's, events etc.

Sydney NARP: You Got GHost In My Australia! Also, An Important Announcement.
DtoidAustralia | 4:14 AM on 01.27.2009 8 comments




Guess what boys and girls? We're having a NARP!

*crowd goes wild*

And it's going to be in Sydney! Woooo hoooo!

*crowd starts getting naked*

Basically the current plan is something like this:

Day: Saturday, February 7th, this year of two-thousand and nine.
Time: Whenever you can show up is fine as we will go all day. Everyone is welcome to drop in and out as they see fit.
Dress: Black tie (obviously)
Can I bring my random friend(s)?: I heartily encourage it. It'll be a good time!

1. Meet up at, and spend some time at Players Lounge shooting each other and training for our futures as terrorists, murderers and zombie apocalypse survival specialists.
2. Once we're done there we can hit up some food and or a bar (depending on if we have any youngins with us) until the wee hours.
3. Anyone that needs a place to stay in the city is welcome to crash at my place, which is within easy walking distance of where this will all be happening.

That's pretty much it. We could also do a movie in the evening as well if there is something that everyone wants to see. The power of choice is yours! Don't squander it! Exclamation point!



Important announcement and more exclamation points to follow!

There is now a Google group for Dtoid Australia! This way we'll have a proper e-mailer and discussion board for event planning and whatnot. The thing is, it's a VERY exclusive group. In fact, it's so exclusive that only 21,007,310 out of 6,706,993,152 on the planet can join it! To see if you qualify send me an e-mail at...

camerono aht ualberta dawt ca

From there I'll send you a group invite and then we'll be one step closer to showing Dtoid UK and Dtoid Canada that we are the best part of Dtoid Commonwealth :D

Remember: even if you're nowhere near Sydney we still want you on that e-mailer. Not everything will be selfishly arranged to be as close to me as possible in the future :) Also, anyone can arrange a NARP. All you gotta do is announce one!

Brisbane NARP a possibility
DtoidAustralia | 4:11 AM on 11.04.2008 4 comments


After a few requests in the past couple of months I thought I would throw the idea out there to see if I would get any bites. If we could get the numbers together I would be happy to organise it.

So if any of you would be interested in a Dtoid No Apparent Reason Party in Brisbane, QLD please comment here so I can see if it would be worth throwing something together.

Also post here if you have any other location requests and I could see what I could do. I have considered a Melbourne NARP as well but the Brisbane one has had a couple of requests recently.

Thanks guys and remember without the numbers this wont happen so post away!!

Love Foo Liz xoxo

UPDATE: Guitar Hero VS Rock Band Party
DtoidAustralia | 6:05 AM on 11.03.2008 8 comments


Ok my little marsupial friends, we are less than two weeks away from beer, bbq and most importantly Rock Band and Guitar Hero World Tour.

I have created a facebook event for it and invited some friends who I know will want to perform their little hearts out. If you are still wanting to come please add me on Facebook with DtoidAustralia as the request comments and I will invite you to the event.

This is a great way to meet fellow Dtoiders as well as some very cool people so feel free to come along and hang out.

Rock out with Dtoiders in Sydney
DtoidAustralia | 9:11 AM on 10.19.2008 17 comments


Well my little robot koalas, I have finally settled back into the groove of things here in this lovely country and as promised it is that time.

Rock Band will be hitting our shelves November 7th as well as Guitar Hero World Tour November 12th, now I may have mentioned back at the Indy night that I wanted to arrange a little get together and so I am doing it.
I will be having people over to rock out on Saturday November 15th to drink, play and hang out to enjoy the game.

Now I may not have big fancy plasmas but I have two good sized lounge rooms right next to eachother so we can have Rock Band going in one room and Guitar Hero in the other. I will only have one set of instruments but considering how wonderfully kind I have been to him with discounts and certain game lendings I have a feeling Wet Jimmy will be happy to help us out with a second set.

If you're wanting to attend this shindig email me at foo.liz86@gmail.com to arrange

Remember:
Who: Any Dtoiders that can make it
What: Guitar Hero/Rock Band party, drinks, food, general party stuff
When: Nov 15th 7:30pm
Where: My place in North Sydney, I'll give you the address privately if you wanna come.

More updates when I have an idea of numbers etc

Thanks guys <3 Liz
