Since there are a number of us out this way, perhaps the next GZ Meetup could be in South Auckland?

Of course we'll need Security, and lots of it. And armed Police? Probably a good idea.

And we could some get some KFC Nate! Being that it would be a special occasion and all....

But seriously now...

We could possibly have a Geekzone Pizza Christchurch - but only if a commited sponsor shows up.

GZPECHC09 PLEASE! *woohoo* so long it's not the Labour Weekend in October, because that's when we'll be going up to AKL *due to recent change of air tickets*

Well, the police station is on the same block as Stampede, and the SAS are at the Army Camp only 1km away as the crow flies. KFC is at the other end of the main drag and within staggering distance for nate, so he won't have to steal a car from Countdown. And if he really gets into trouble, there is a legal office across the road from Stampede.

Nate can be the bouncer. He's big, black, 'n' ugly.

I'm so banned.

Thanks Mauricio and the sponsors for putting this event together!

So everything we need is right within stumbling distance! What about the WINZ office?

I used to "live" (okay, so it was technically a 'youth justice facility', but meh) right next door to that SAS training place. All they had was a little farm fence with a sign saying "NEW ZEALAND DEFENCE FORCE - PLEASE DO NOT ENTER." At least they were polite about it.

Sounded like that's THE place to live with all the necessities and facilities nearby.

The WINZ office is within stumbling distance. But yeah, lawyers, cops, courthouse and bar are all on the same block, so I think we've got that one figured out.

And if we want to get really carried away, theres a TAB and Tattoo Parlour on that block too.

I forgot to mention that Housing Corp is on that block too, just in case anyone loves South Auckland so much they want to move there? (and possibly be my neighbour?) And theres a bottle shop as well. Its such an awesome place to live. < /sarcasm >
