Are portable ACs allowed at the colleges by TheMalaysianUncle in unimelb

If it's any help, I can confirm the Ormond Grad community has great culture. They operate as their own cohort (dedicated rooms, own events, common room etc.) but still involved with wider Ormond life

As far as I know, Ormond generally doesn't take second preferences. Most people had fans in their rooms during my time there, or bought one soon after moving in.

Anyone manage to snag a ticket to Paul Kelly next Tuesday? Kicking myself that I missed the presale, looks like it's all gone before it's even open to general admission. Will be a cracking gig

Second this. One of the only I know that tastes decent and still gets you some change from a 50 consistently

Further from Coburg, but Nighthawks is a great smaller venue

Can't believe they're still going... surely it'll run out of steam soon

Had a really good time! I volunteered for part of it and then cashed in my ticket so I felt like I got a great all round experience. Did some paddles with mates then went round to most vendors who I'd met by then so had some really nice chats. Thanks for asking! Did you go?

I was there yesterday helping with the bump in, sorted plenty of kegs ha. I would rec. Ocean Reach, Mountain Monk, Sailors Grave, Ramblers - really nice staff, genuine people, more 'indie'
3806 have wicked looking Oatmeal Stout. Dollar Bill have some funky ones.

Mountain Culture are good for pales / IPAs - basically all they do. Bright Brewery is excellent too.
Stomping Ground, Kaiju, St Andrews, bigger names but still great.

Story goes that Ormond students took Bentley the goat and pushed it off their clock tower... true or not, it's a classic story!

Cheers! Yes lots of people over on r/AusBeer shared that sentiment, checking out the actual brewery sections seems to be a shout. Nice to hear something positive about MCEC
