Let's take this party on the road!
As you've all heard by now in fits and starts, Lex Luthor has departed Smallville for Metropolis my friend A has finally conceded he's moving permanently to the UK, and Stately Luthor Manor has been boarded up and dust sheeted sold for a princely sum such as none of us shall ever see in our life times. [/small emo tear]
The show must, shall, and does go on however, and get/together 2007 will take place, as promised, the weekend of 28-30th September. The only real change, and one which is sadly unavoidable, is that the slumber party style the Manor made possible is no longer an option. China, Vaud and I have investigated all possibilities however, and believe we have come up with the best alternative.
China has very graciously agreed to host the festivities, by which I mean make available her home here in Wellington for daytime and evening activities (the panels, the presentations, the games, the viewing etc). She has a large open plan living space, and a smaller room for breakout time. Between us Vaud and I will be able to take care of the mod cons and technology so all will proceed exactly as usual as far as the actual content of the weekend goes. China cannot, however, accomodate or fully cater for people the way that I used to.
With regard to accomodation, we are looking at a group room at the Cambridge (in Cambridge Terrace, surprise!), which will enable the band to stay largely together, which I imagine would be most enjoyable. Sort of like the convention room parties of old. They are available for six or for ten, at a rate of twenty dollars per person per night, which is very reasonable. I know some of you have family in Wellington you can stay with, though of course you're very welcome to join the mob if you prefer. Those of you coming in from Sydney for the holidays who have already made arrangements are, of course, already arranged. I will require numbers from Kiwis sooner rather than later though, so we can confirm the current provisional booking.
With regard to food, we will be making a small charge to provide lunch both days and the usual snacks and drinks. We will have the usual dinner out, and order takeaways the other nights.
I realise this makes the weekend a little more expensive than in the past, but it will still be fantastic, and I hope as many of you as possible will still come. Please do get your thinking caps on and get back to me asap though.
Tentative programme to follow shortly. Though not tonight. ;-p

And this looks great - thanks!

No worries. I bask in the glow of my own organisation. Yaye.

Subject to me actually sitting down and mentioning to my Partner that I'll be leaving the country (Australia) for around 3-4 days, I am thinking of coming to get__together! (
Um. I guess this is where I say that I would possibly need room-mates? I am a non-smoker and a non-snorer, although occasionally I have been known to sleep-talk.
Unless there are other arrangements for us Aussies I need to know about?

A couple of Aussies (ones I've known for years) were already coming for the hols and have made plans accordingly. You're very welcome to join the Kiwis though in the group room.

Yeah, I've got nothing useful to contribute *g*. Must start pondering what fandom(s) to pimp, hmmmm.

Doctor/Ten is my current poison also, but I've had some trouble finding good fic. Good vids, fanmixes, silly macros, no problem. Are there any comms you can recommend?
no subject
Look in my memories under 'DW fic' near the end for quite a bit of Doctor/Master fic. It's not up to date - I need to go back through the stuff posted in the last couple of weeks - but there's a lot there.
(Speaking of good vids, have you got any recs for those?)
no subject
Vid recs. This one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaxATOF4C7w) is my absolute favourite DW vid ever. And here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUUUYsB5Z2U) is a Doctor/Master crackvid that just cracks me up.
Aside from that, um, can you check out other people's playlists on YouTube? I'm on there as woollysocks, I have a Doctor Who playlist. There are two "I Can't Decide" vids, I've forgotten which one I really liked, I'll have to watch them again.
Oh and this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7OY-fiSsuw) is Ten/Jack, not Master, but is pretty funny. Has some slow moments, but some gems near the end.
You might have noticed that I go for crack as well as slash. :-/
I might have more on my hard drive, but I didn't bookmark the LJ entries. I'll have a look and upload anything I think is a must-see.

And yes! Love that song!
My computer is running like crap tonight, so it's a bit hard to tell if this is the one I really liked. But I think it is. I Can't Decide (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcehlIiH_7k) That user on YouTube does some awesome Who and DT stuff.

And congrats for the organisational and co-operative skills of all involved, too. :-)

I hope you all have an awsome time, and I'm sure I'll be there next year.
Hugs

Let me know if I can do anything else to help from up here!
(And o, how work fails right now for only being in a position to let me have one day off. POUT. heh.)

It'll be great to see everyone, even without Stately Luthor Manor.
