Supernova Sydney this weekend!
DtoidAustralia | 12:03 AM on 06.16.2008 6 comments


Hi guys
Just a reminder that Supernova is this weekend.
If you wanna come with me let me know because at the moment I'm travelling in alone.
Just email/add me to Gtalk on Foo.Liz86@gmail.com and I'll be happy to organise to meet up with people
If you dont know what I'm talking about check out my previous blog or here is the copy pasted version.
Or check out the Supernova website

Hello again my little koala bears!
(I know theyre not bears but little koalas doesnt sound as cute to me)
Ideas were thrown around about the next Dtoid Australia event last weekend and I thought I would show you the next event I shall be attending and would love some company for.
If you don't know what Supernova is let me fill you in.
Supernova is an exhibition for all of the things the Dtoid Community loves: Movies, TV, Anime, Comics, Authors, Games & Toys. This year, the guest of honour happens to be the woman I want to put a baby in so naturally I shall be attending.
It will be held at Sydney Olympic Park Showground - The Dome, NSW on Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd of June 2008 AND Claremont Showgrounds - Robinson Pavilion, WA Saturday 28th & Sunday 29th June 2008.

If you wish to go to the Sydney one feel free to let me know as alot of us will probably try to organise transport, drinks after etc. Below you shall find details on the ticket and obviously more details can be found on the Supernova website.
Personally I have purchased the SUPA-HERO Pass, and will probably goto the Preview night on the Friday as well as both days(I plan to get my money's worth).
Have a look into it. It's supposed to be really good old fashioned nerdy goodness.
See you there!

Post Indy Night Wrap Up
DtoidAustralia | 7:38 PM on 05.24.2008 11 comments


Friday May 23rd, 2008 - WetJimmy(A.K.A Anthony) and his lovely wife Mel picked me(Foo Liz) up to venture on to find our long lost Dtoiders...
We arrived at Macquarie Shopping Centre at just after 8:30 and walked up to find Cainball(A.K.A Cain) waiting intently outside Oportos. During the intro's, we came across Jace101(A.K.A Chris). More Intros.... I realised Sarin wasn't here yet, which I thought was strange considering he had booked 5 of the tickets. We looked around for someone alone outside Oporto... we spotted someone sitting down and we pushed Anthony into approaching him, hoping we could laugh at him if it wasnt. But it was, introducing Sarin(A.K.A Tom) into our little mix. We decided to get food, we decided we needed somewhere that served food and coke.... hmmmm Oportos. Just as we were ordering I see FurySevenSix(A.K.A Noel) wandering up... And that was all of us. 7, not bad for the first Aussie Dtoid meet up. Oh no, Gatecrashers... My friends Megan and Ryan showed up in case there was spare seats. So there we sat, discussing GTA, Ironman vs. Transformers, Cain telling us a live action Pokemon movie would complete his life, Mel saying she would want it to be R-Rated.
It was time... Indy time... Wait photo time of this, the first ever Australian Destructoid outing.



Off to see Indy...

Two and a half hours later....
Wow.... What the hell was that...
Quotes from our group
"I'm so confused"
"It was like a rollercoaster of crap and good"
"The Indy+E.T=Indy 4 thing makes sense now"
"That was awful"
"I was really hoping that would be good"
"That made no sense at all"

Yeh ok so the movie wasnt as good as we hoped.. Time to drink our disappointment away..
Unfortunately Cain had to head home to the wife and kiddies so we were down to 8.
We decided to head to a local bar and wandered back to the car. We tried to convince Tom and Chris to steal a buggy GTA style but alas the driver got away too quickly.
Walking to the bar we notice this


So we got to the bar and realised Megan forgot her I.D, ok we'll try the bar across the road... no luck so we say goodbye to Megan and Ryan.
We go in, Anthony buys a round, we sit down and photo op:



A couple of drinks later, we decide on a myspace angle photo to fit me in there


The whole night was awesome. We didn't drink much because we couldn't stop talking. I'm pleased to say everyone was really cool and there will definately be more Dtoid get togethers. We all got along really well and hooray for internet acceptance!!
Thanks to all of those who came and we'll have to have another night soon!

Australian Dtoiders: Indiana Jones tomorrow!
DtoidAustralia | 6:25 PM on 05.21.2008 7 comments


Foo Liz here and yes this is the new announcement blog for Australian Dtoiders! If there are any NARP's you wanna plan or events to advertise let me know and I'll be happy to post it. But as stated in the heading our Indiana Jones outing is only one day away!
Plans are as follows:
Meet at 8:30pm outside Oportos(where all the buses stop) at Macquarie Shopping Centre, North Ryde and grab some food
9:30pm normal session of Indiana Jones, we have 10 good seats booked, and there are plenty of seats surrounding ours still available if we run out out of booked ones.
After the movie we'll probably head somewhere for drinks, whereever we decide to go.
Then if all goes well at this one this should be the first of many Aussie NARP's to be held!



See you all there!
Msg this account with any questions.
You are all welcome if you can make it.


P.S I'll be the blonde wearing the Dtoid top and blue jacket.
