Melbourne, 4 seasons in one day =D
 
It's been a tad too humid in Perth for my liking... previous summers have been hot, but not as humid as it is this year...
 
@ Currawong - How's winter in Japan mate?

Japan's winter is boring. Hardly any snow but plenty of rain.
 
I remember Melbourne -- the only city where you could be out on a hot day and it could turn suddenly freezing within a couple of minutes.
 
I indeed have experienced the 4 seasons in one day while there.

Hi all, another aussie from Brisbane.

Just like to know where everyone here buys there gear? Like to support the locals when i can but pricing can be frustrating at times. For example, SRH840 are very close to the $us equivalent while another like the DT250 which are cheaper than the 840 in the US goes for $100-150 more here.

 The last one I believe was a small gathering on Glenferrie Rd in a Thai take away place
 
 Somehow the venue gave way to a horde of Head-Fiers out back with all their gear.

 International meet! Cor, who needs Can Jam 

 
 I say we do more than alright, the last big one at A2A upstairs (sadly the top floor is now occupied by some IT mob) was quite mad,
 all the gear anyone could want - some people really do hide away some nice stuff for these big days.
 
 @DefQon
 
 Reckon you could be on to something, fact is out West there is more opportunity at something like a large function club, bowls
 area or what - a big place that is happy to lease it out one lazy Sunday for next to nothing - the East has become pricey for
 any large venue leasing - there's always an odd place that might do it but I see more opportunity out West for a big shindig.
 
 Most folk will drive anyway, car pooling was a big thing last time.

 Whitten Oval eh? Quite the venue, cor what's next ~ MCG meet with full catering. Again, who needs Can Jam?

 Only thing with a nice venue with some reasonable lunch, beverage, refreshments and what not is <drum roll< ~ $$$ cost.
 
 Last time the real bonus was that George at A2A opened his doors for gratis, the cover charge did not go in any way towards
 the lease or electricity for the event to take place, he was just doing it for the sake of putting on a Melbourne Head-Fi meet.
 
 The $10 cover charge was to absorb the massive amount of Pizza Hut, pasta and soft drink that showed up after 3pm 

 
 So I guess the question is ~ what's a rough 'top of the town' figure that everyone would be happy to pay?
