Ha, I'm glad you got around to this. I'm actually doing a photographic entry on my blog right now so my attention's a little divided.
So, here's an outline of my proposal:
Monday 28/01 is the Aussie Day public holiday. It's short notice, so I'm not suggesting much. Just that anybody who would like to meet up is more than welcome to come join me in Royal Park, where I will photograph trains/trams and we could have a little picnic or something. To fit in with people's work schedules, 4pm is my proposed time. There's one spot in particular that I'd like to try out for tram photography, so I'll post a map of the spot.
We can then go on to organise a more substantial gathering somewhere - maybe another picnic if we like it, or maybe something more formal, like at a pub or restaurant, or if U2 3D gets its arse down there, something associated with that.
Also, if anybody is going to Dream Theater on 29/01 or Explosions In The Sky on 16/02, let me know! I'm currently going by myself.
And please, pass on a link to this thread to any cool Melburnian Interferencers.

Sounds really nice Axver, kinda excited now! 
I'm afraid to say that I'm not familiar at all with Dream Theatre, but they do sound really interesting ... I actually thought of going when I first heard about the tour but I just don't have the $$ at the moment.
Looking forward to meeting you all

Looks like there's still going to be plenty of trains between Geelong and Melbourne on the 28th. Just follow this link and adjust the travel date and time period filters to 28-01-2008 and full day: http://www.viclink.com.au/line/view/2682
Which reminds me that the route 55 through Royal Park is actually running on a Saturday timetable on Monday, so there go the peak hour services I was hoping would be around. Oh well! That means that it doesn't matter what time of day we meet there; the tram frequency will be relatively the same.

Oh, I understand - the price of Dream Theater tickets is about double what I was expecting! Until I saw it was over $100 for even the worst tickets, I was considering travelling to either Adelaide or Brisbane for a second show. The Adelaide gig will actually be their 1,000th show ever (Melbourne is 1,001st). But I can't justify the expense. I can't believe I'm paying more to see Dream Theater than I paid for any one of my ten U2 concert tickets. In fact, I've never paid this much to see anybody!
And yeah, I'm really looking forward to this - it'll be fun!
Plus I'm getting really bored these days, what with not having a job and university not going back for another month or so.

No, maybe Fed Square might be a better idea. I was just thinking Royal Park would be nice, picnic and all. I admit, that ugly-looking art gallery has turned me off exploring Fed Square and that part of the Yarra. I have it in my mind that it's all bustling and stuff. Is there parkland by the river? And, hang on a minute, since it's a public holiday, is there anything on there, or are they doing it all tomorrow?
In any case, I'll post maps of my original Royal Park idea and you guys can shoot it down if it doesn't suit you. I don't want anybody having a hard time to find it.

oh, you guys are just too fast for me 
(that and an ancient computer).
Hey, I'm happy to hang out anywhere ... Royal Park is really nice, but if anyone wants something more central, the Botanic Gardens are really nice too. Right across the road from the Arts Centre (where the Nick Cave exhibit is on )
Don't wanna derail Axver's plans though....

OK, looking at it for those of you catching the train, Royal Park is just going to be a pain in the arse to get to. You'd catch the train, then either walk or tram from Spencer Street Station two blocks over to William Street, where you'd catch the route 55 tram and it's about a 15 minute trip from there.
So Fed Square's one alternative, or how about Flagstaff Gardens? It's right in the city, within walking distance of Spencer Street Station (or you can tram it).
