    I'm on the way there right now. For the newbies just look for a group of mixed age multicultural people. Oh, and I'm wearing a red jacket.

    Now the challenge is to REMEMBER those names for next time. I'm really embarrased to say that I'm the world's worst. If I remember just one name for the next meetup, I'm doing well.:oops:

    You might be right about that. We've met about 6 times. But I think you still don't know my name. :D.

    No.....I've never been good at putting names to faces. I do try.....but damn it's hard. I've usually got more luck when there's something a little 'different' about someone. Height, weight, large personality, hairstyle, etc, but even that isn't foolproof.

    Great night again. Thanks Deb. It was great to chat. And to talk to others after not talking or even thinking about property for a couple of months. Off again soon, hopefully I can time it to be in Sydney for another one this year.

    No worries I will test you next time when you're back from your China trip ;)

    Thanks for organizing again skater, it was the first time for me at Wentys but not only they had burgers so big they had to split it into top and bottom (!) but more importantly always great to catchup with the regulars as well as meeting other inspirational investors. Lots of takeaways, as always!

    @Simon Hampel thanks for sharing the story on how SS became PC. Surely it was full of challenges even to-date :)

    Sim -- did you have a sleep in? Was supposed to remind you to turn off the trivia questions on SS search.

    I always look forward to the next one! Looks like it may have been an expensive meetup for me. When i was driving home, i decided to get into a right turn lane to turn right. Right arrow was red, but to go straight was green. Changed my mind and decided to go straight instead.. Unfortunately, as i crossed the line and got into the left lane, the red light camera decided to snap me. I'm hoping i can fight this one.. as i didn't actually run the red and turn right. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Lesson learnt though.. and next time i won't be there till 145am! Lol

    From my understanding and experience, the sensors on the road would have detected your vehicle going through a red light.

    Having said that, I once incorrectly turned left into a one way street in Parramatta and set off the camera. Never heard anything.

    I did speak to you as I was leaving. At the counter. When Sash was getting a coffee. Do you recall that? I said that I had to leave as I get up early for work. It was about 10:30pm. :(
