FREE BYRON BAY RETURN FLIGHTS!!!
Thu, May 7, 9:00 PM"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro..." One of my favourite writers said that, Hunter S Thompson. If you haven't read Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, grab a joint, and do it! Speaking of weird... **Who wants a free flight to Byron Bay on Friday???** *Fri 705am departs Syd, arrives Ballina 820am* *Mon 344pm departs Ballina, arrives 620pm Syd* Legend hiker "Chris" who's known all around Sydney as... "Chris" just called me. He's not using a ticket, and he's happy to give it away. All you have to do is pay for the name change, and he'll transfer it over - no cost for the ticket. Sounds weird? It is. But is it real? Yes. I trust Chris, and this is 100% on to a hiker that wants it. Oh, you should probably buy Chris a beer or two at the next event you meet him on. Sooooooo, who's keen? Hit "Attend" here, then send me a message on 0439 635 699, and I'll put you two in touch. Lucky you!
