Wow, in that second one - I look like a belligerent drunk. Drunk sure, but belligerent? That's not how I remember it.

I was far too slow! My two blurry photos are here, and I'm afraid they add little:

Absolutely, as soon as my application with the IMF to float "The Powerpoint" as a currency on the open exchange gets approved, we'll have lots of money for those kinds of things. Assuming $1 = 1PP. I can make millions of PP. That's how currency works, right? >> ^spoco2:

Thanks @dag for the additions and fixes to the post. It was a great night, and it would be awesome to do it again. I'm sure with Videosift's vast profits you could fly in all top sifters for a yearly sift up... I mean you're rolling in it aren't you? Isn't that what you said?

Obscene footwear??? What what what? PICTURES PLEASE.


Oh, and this will remain an unexplained mystery... only to be known by those there on the night, and never to be spoken of... except maybe on deathbeds.

Wrap up report!

The sitftup was excellent. Funny enough I ended up naked and lost in a well jungled area surrounding Melbourne, I can surf the web from my phone so I know there is cell service within a few miles, but I cant see any city lights.


Stay calm, and if you get thirsty you can drink your own pee.

Will do. Though it probably won't be fruity flavoured like the ones in Portland. >> ^oohahh:

have a beer for us!

@persephone and I will be at the Crowne Plaza. Is that far?


@dag, Not really, it's either about a 15minute leisurely walk, or a quick tram ride up the street.

@kymbos, I do like the idea of roof top places or those with gardens, and Madam Brussels is ridiculously close to Meyer's Place... it's just that
a) The weather is not looking to be nice and sunny, so rooftops might be a bummer
&
b) Being down at street level I think makes it easier to spot the fellow sifters.

Now, being that @dag and @persephone will be down Southbank way, we could make the meeting point be closer to that area, but I think that runs the risk of the whole thing remaining around the Crown complex, which doesn't really show off Melbourne that well.

What we need is a way of people knowing our movements as the Sift Up progresses. I'll say it here and at the top of the post, if anyone wants my mobile number so they can track us down on the night, then I can do that.

Or, I guess... being that dag tweets, people could follow that? I've never used Twitter in my life, so I can't speak for how well that would work.

Would that make more sense though?

Totally. or at least telepresence. >> ^ant:

We need transporters/teleporters.
