SYD FTers up for a pint??

Am in SYD for 8 nights on my first trip downunder and thought I'd see if any of the Sydneysiders would be up for a pint. I'm in the city 2-10 June and would really enjoy meeting some of the folks behind the FT handles if anyone is willing.

Thanks!

You're going to miss the UA DO at the Hilton by one day. If I'm still in town, I'm up for a schooner.

I'd be up for it, but as wimpy said we drink schooners in this town (not to say you cant get pints, but schooners is the default)

Should've consulted my English-Australian dictionary.

Maybe as we get closer to departure someone can suggest a suitable venue and we can firm up things up. Thanks.

We'll be in Washington DC until June 8 on a bit of a mileage run of kinds.

I'll check back and see what date finally got set, but unless June 9 or 10 (Friday and Sat) will need to pass on this.

Could be for a schooner to watch the World Cup, which starts on 9th. I fly out on 10th.

Ha! No we fly over on the SFO flight, but return on the LAX flight #839 that same day, June 6. Shame .. we could have got you to smuggle back some decent bubbly from F.

Thought I'd give this a quick bump to see if any Sydneysiders still up for a brew. I know I meant to bump this thread before now, but plead guilty to spending heaps of time out & about and find myself with only tomorrow (Fri.) to spare before flying back home on Sat. I'm at SYD Marriott (the one on the park) if anyone can make it and can suggest a venue nearby or Circular Quay.
I'll check back on the thread later in the day.

Cheers!

Sorry I missed this until this morning. Oh well, sounds like you have been too busy enjoying yourself anyway. Have a good flight.
