We need to have dinner near a station so that Alex can quickly get to the hackerspace.
Let's meet for dinner at the Melbourne Central food court. There's a wide range of food to suit all tastes. I'll probably be there from 5PM for anyone who arrives early. From there it's a quick and easy journey to the LUV meeting by tram.
To be honest, I can't believe anyone would voluntarily select a food court for a social dinner. I know it gives a wide variety to cater for individuals' tastes, but all of it is terrible, and you're in a noisy, busy environment. That said.. I'm not planning on going so my opinion counts for nil. However I did think it worth pointing out in case other people are put off by that as well. I do understand the difficulty of picking a place for dinner; it's very easy to bike-shed the problem and get nowhere, so hey, perhaps a busy food court is the best solution? -T
