hi everybody,
not sure who in melbourne is still on the mailing list, but hopefully this reaches the right people in time. i bcc'd a bunch of people too
a group of us who were/are regular melbourne 2600 attendees are moving to Softbelly as of tomorrow nights meeting. caffeine is now either closed or running on a month to month lease depending on who you speak to. that's not a suitable location for the meetings any more.
Softbelly is a decent bar located at 367 little burke street, just up from the corner of elizabeth st. it's pretty easy to spot, walk past a crumpler store and some coffee shops on the left, and then you'll see the bar. If you can't see any one instantly, go down the back of the bar and there's a back room that's has more couches. we're hoping to take over that if we can. softbelly has been running a few years now and shows no sign of closing.
the bar prices are pretty good, there's a great range of drinks including jugs(!) and they sell food too
hope to see you there. we'll send people up to caffeine regularly to let others know where we all are.
