I'm actually not surprised.Nope.
Quite possibly. I spent 30 years working in the CBD but living in the far outer suburbs.I'm actually not surprised.
I've run the data and you're not a Melburnian, you're a suburbian.
I take it back. You are the typical Melburnian.Quite possibly. I spent 30 years working in the CBD but living in the far outer suburbs.
i did go to Stop The Drop at the Music bowl in to see the Oils. Does that count for anything?

Same. It actually terrified me in my teens early 20’s. Once I got the vibe and it’s actually a place to just be you, it was fine.It's a long time since I've been to Revs.
I went there once on New Year's morning. I'd been at a rooftop party at the Terminus in Richmond, then another gig at Two Floors up in the city, which wasn't really doing it for me. My friends wanted to stay so I said, "I'm off to Revs. I'll know someone." Got in at 6am. Got home January 3rd.Same. It actually terrified me in my teens early 20’s.

I think I backed up a couple of days later and picked up a German backpacker at the Prince of Wales. But that could have been the next year, I can't remember.Tell me about Jan 4 through 10. Loooooonnng start to the year.
I lived in Prahran in '05! Off Dandenong Rd near Chapel St, near the Polish club. Was more 161 than Revs at that point but still spent a few nights at Revs.Moved to Melbourne in 05'.
Rented an apartment in Prahran with Mrs Leysy.
The apartment backed right onto the smoko area at Revs.
Spent many a Sunday morning over brekkie listening to some "deep" conversations.
And more than a few in the venue itself.
161 was a way more friendly and welcoming vibe. But way harder to get into Until you proved yourself to not be a DH.I lived in Prahran in '05! Off Dandenong Rd near Chapel St, near the Polish club. Was more 161 than Revs at that point but still spent a few nights at Revs.
Was, and still am, more 161 than Revs as well. I've seen many an AFL and NRL player up to no good at 161.I lived in Prahran in '05! Off Dandenong Rd near Chapel St, near the Polish club. Was more 161 than Revs at that point but still spent a few nights at Revs.

I had a good chat to Nick Daffy there one night. He was retired by then. Seemed alright.Was, and still am, more 161 than Revs as well. I've seen many an AFL and NRL player up to no good at 161.
They assume very few know who they are....
