The Horses' Doofers sound good to me. Look forward to seeing everyone there on the 23rd.

So what time are does this officially start vs when do people start to roll in?
Also, Saint, any recommendations for parking near there? Car parks next to Raffles place are over $6/hour during the day, not sure at night, and not sure if there is a better place to leave the car. Since I'll be coming from the office a taxi isn't an option

Why not? Just go to work by a cab too.

That would cover three out of four corners of the island

More of a chance I'll come home early and taxi it back to the city.

The best place and definitely the cheapest place to park is under the parliament building. Go down North Bridge Road, turn left at lights at parliament building and straight right. Not many people realise there's a public car park there and probably the most secure!

Some preparations for a customary wedding will be held on that day

Turns out the preparations are done, faster than the initial plan.
But is it still okay for me to join?

One of my favorite movies; Offices Space :) This is a 1999 movie about an IT guy who hates his job. It is a an awesome concept, just feels dated now....

I'd like to see a remake of hairspray or singin in the rain, though maybe part of the charm is the fact that they have the 50s/80s looks to them.
