I love watching the buzz on this list around the Sydney Friday night
drinks. Being in Melbourne, I've often thought it would be great to
have a similar thing happening here. Last week I attended a Google
Technology Users Group meeting in Melbourne and had a great time
talking with a bunch of passionate developers. I would also like to
talk to passionate entrepeneurs, and after posting my introduction on
this list I got a call from Casey saying "lets get drinks happening",
so clearly I'm not alone here.
Casey and I have decided to meet Nov 27th, 6pm at Transport bar
(across the road from Flinders St Station - http://www.transporthotel.com.au/
) and want to encourage anyone (everyone?!) on this list in Melbourne
to come along. The intent is to just get people meeting, talking and
interacting. My committment is to get some momentum behind these
meetings by showing up regularly at a set time and place. I hope
you'll join me!
Cheers,
Andrew Bucknell

Sounds great. I've been lurking on this list for a while now (against the rules, I know), but I'd be keen to meet up and have a chat with the Melbourne contingent.

Hi Andrew
That's great initiative, and I'll do my best to get there.
It's also worth noting a couple of other related Melbourne events,
just to avoid future clashes:
* Melbourne Jelly (Co-Working) which happens every second Friday from
10am to 5pm (including today and the 27th), currently in Fitzroy.
There's almost always drinks after this, usually at Little Creatures
on Brunswick St. Indeed, this is the case tonight from 5:30, if you'd
like to join us.
http://wiki.workatjelly.com/JellyInMelbourne
* Social Media Melbourne Breakfasts every Friday morning, from 8am to
9am at Mr Tulk, which is on the corner of Swanston and Latrobe
Streets, on the side of the State Library.

Both events draw together interesting people and spark interesting
conversations.
Cheers

Good to see Andrew, hope it goes well, though I'll still be o/s and
won't be able to make it.
Not sure if you're aware but Silicon Beach drinks was running in
Melbourne fortnightly for the latter part of last year, but didn't get
enough momentum and at the start of this year the decision was made to
shelve it for the time being. It might be worth talking to guys like
Pieter Peach, Erik Unger and Ross Hill about where it went wrong.
I chatted with Pieter a month or two ago about the idea of
resurrecting it, but we agreed there were already enough events going
on between Jelly (which has a drinks session afterwards), Social Media
Breakfasts, The Hive (general-entrepreneurship-focused but popular for
web/tech startup founders) and Mobile Mondays. We also put on a Y-
Combinator-themed event at the start of October as a web-startup-
focused meetup, and got a great turnout and strong enthusiasm for
making it a regular event.
The good news is that there seems to be a vibrant tech startup scene
taking shape in Melbourne, and there's a variety of ways for people to
interact. And whilst I'm all for anyone starting something new, you'd
probably have more success by looking at the events that are already
happening and making sure your event complements them.
While I'm at it I should put in a plug for The Hive, which for their
final event of the year on Tues Nov 24th is presenting Tony Wheeler of
Lonely Planet. The Hive has become the leading entrepreneurs event in
Melbourne, with regular attendances of over 120 people from across the
entrepreneurship community, and this talk by one of Melbourne's
greatest entrepreneurship success stories should make for a terrific
finale to the year.
Anyway, I look forward to meeting some time when I get back to Melb in
December.
All the best,
Tom

Following discussions with Pat and Casey we've agreed it makes sense
to combine this meetup with the Jelly drinks at Little Creatures. Itd
be great to get the Melbourne Silicon Beachers meeting up and I think
the synergy with the Jelly group is a great way to get some good
interactions happening. The Jelly drinks are at 5:30pm at the Little
Creatures brewery (https://www.littlecreatures.com.au/Melbourne/
melbourne/menu-id-67.html) on Brunswick St in Fitzroy. Come along and
lets get the Melbourne SB community buzzing!
Cheers,
Andrew.
