g/t 2008

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Right then.

First official post of the 2008 season.

Dates: Main event Sat 4th and Sun 5th October. Welcome dinner, gossip, vids etc Fri 3rd for those who have already arrived.

Accommodation: Nomads Capital. It's a very nice, very new, hostel smack in the centre of down-town Wellington. What we hope to do, ideally, is put together groups and book the rooms so noone gets accidentally left off like happened last year. Prices are $31 per person for an Ensuite Quad, $23 for a ten bed dorm, and various combos in between. I can poll to see which options you favour when we get a stronger idea of numbers.

Venue: At the moment we are strongly leaning towards the Arts Centre, which is also smack centre of town. Location location. This is to be confirmed with the worst secretary in the world (TM).

Costs: To be confirmed when venue is confirmed, but looking very reasonable. Self catered this year, so basic venue and admin costs only.

Attendance: Confirmed -- arysteia, china_shop, morebliss, woolly_socks, kiwisue, cross_stitchery, mab_browne, shihadchick, blademistress, stickmarionette, sethra2000, aworldinside, blue_raven, angel_a.

Official Forms: Will be posted soon. Bwah.

Contributors: arysteia = 1) Doctor Who in 15 Minutes, 2) Doctor/Master -- Clex for Clever People, 3) Smallville Update -- Renaissance/Requiem 3 for the Fandom that Will Not Die; china_shop = 1) Slash Pictionary, 2) Due South part deux, 3) Flashpoint; morebliss = Torchwood; cross_stitchery = Sentinel; blademistress = Nip/Tuck (sans gore); stickmarionette = Update of Soccer RPS.

All remaining fandoms (including those previously visited) are up for grabs to volunteers. Your contribution can take whatever form you like -- pimp reel, slide show, powerpoint, old skool handouts, ship manifesto, you name it. Go nuts. Also panel moderators and suggestions for discussion please.

I think that's it for now. COME! The power of slash compels you!

Please move me into the confirmed spot!

And woolly_socks has an underscore.

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Doh! I did actually check, but evidently I missed that one. Underscores are my nemesis (once I read like three entries of chinashop from overseas and was all: this sounds *nothing* like i).

But yaye! for comfirmed status.

[cross-stitchery.livejournal.com]

i'm in the definite slot (better get that TS pimp together, i guess...) and will plump for whatever the cheapest option is, since i'm off to Liverpool on Sunday night with Mab and i'll need every cent i can take.

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Yeah, wow, that trip'll be fab.

Will Mab be coming down with you?

[morebliss.livejournal.com]

I still haven't heard back from arts centre. I'll forward onto you and China the email I sent them. I also left them phone messages but no luck so far! Maybe one of you will have better luck.

I'm in sunny Nelson for a week from tomorrow. Catch all ya'all on the flip side. XOXO

[morebliss.livejournal.com]

Okay, so I totally didn't forward the email on. Could one of you ring them and harrass them? Or do you want me to?

[mab-browne.livejournal.com]

As cross_stitchery's already indicated, I shall definitely be there. I'm happy to be as communal as necessary, although I can cope with the more expensive option if that makes numbers and planning easier.

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Sweet as. I'm so glad you can make it, despite the impending larger scale fun.

[shihadchick.livejournal.com]

Definitely there for the weekend, Friday is tentative (pending work, I don't want to push my luck any more there at the moment. Heh.)

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Yaye!!! I'm so glad. Wouldn't be g/t without you.

[i-naiad.livejournal.com]

One year I'll make it over again. Sadly this year is not that year.

[vaudevilles.livejournal.com]

*sobs*

I want to meet you again because this is ALL YOUR FAULT *g*

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

We'll just keep on keeping on till you do!

[china_shop]

I want to pimp Flashpoint, too, though I haven't quite figured out how yet. *g*

Also? \o/ \o/ \o/

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Yippee. And I love your giant Hiro arms/Paul Gross arms/Donna Noble arms/most plagiarised gesture on tv arms... ;-p

[vaudevilles.livejournal.com]

I will definitely be there... for exactly how long I'm not sure.

And I will ride the coat-tails of the lovely morebliss and squee about Torchwood (not in any kind of organised way though).

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

YAYE! Make sure you come to my epic masterpiece.[/shameless ego]

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Sadly, I think I have to say to move my name off the maybe list. Don't think I'll be able to manage it this year :(

[china_shop]

:-(

Also, saddest icon ever.

Edits for more appropriate icon usage.

[blademistress.livejournal.com]

I'm coming back to NZ! I will be in the country! \o/

[china_shop]

YAYAY! \o/

[blue-raven.livejournal.com]

Yup, definitely going to make it for the weekend, more than likely hitching a ride with southbound Auckland folk. :)

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Cool! Good to see you again.

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

Yay! Also happy to be communal (or not). Will be in town midday Friday & leaving on the VeryEarlyBusPlane Monday, I do have some flexibility about accommodation since I have rels in town but I'd rather be with you lot.

[mab-browne.livejournal.com]

Oh yay. I'm looking forward to seeing you again. :-)

[aworldinside.livejournal.com]

You can move me into confirmed too. I may be a little in and out depending on the weekend, but I shall certainly be there for some of it. :)

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Cool. neat thing about being a Wellington native? Come and go.

[the_antichris.livejournal.com]

WAAAAAAAAAH. That is all.

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Bah! Enjoy Canadiania.

[geeklite.livejournal.com]

OK, seriously, you'd think you could have it in California now I'm here. I mean Sydney to En Zed was bad enough, but the aifares now... you should all have to spend that money to come see me. I'd let you all fight over my couch!

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

We have been quite selfish, you're right. I'll have to look into that. Maybe it's not too late to change.

[stickmarionette.livejournal.com]

I'll try and make it out of academia hell in time. *g*

Thinking of doing some sort of discussion thingy on RPS and media (mostly sports, but we could talk bandom too since so many of us are familiar with that), if there's time or interest in such a thing. :D

[morebliss.livejournal.com]

Oooooh, I'd be really keen on that!
