Dates for 2009

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

First post!

The dates for g/t this year, unless every single member cries and can't make it, will be October 2nd to 4th. Announcing early so that in these times of economic karmageddon we can maximise our airpoints/savings etc.

We're investigating all the venue and accommodation options. Obviously this year we know to ask about capoeira drummers. ;-p

Hope to see you all there. Unless you're off to the States, in which case I guess we'll let it pass.

Tiny heads-up:

china_shop is putting together the vidshow this year. She's specialising in multi-fandom vids, so if you've got any suggestions of gems send them her way.

oh YAY thank god. which is to say: those dates are good for me. (Mid-September would...make me cry. For the record. :D)

I should be back! \o/

Who's going to the States, or is it just Claire and therefore not news? ;)

Bwahahaha! Yay! My evil plan commences. I mean... my careful planning bears fruit.

That sounds like it should work okay. ::makes note on calendar::

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Woot! Wouldn't be the same without you!

Oh cool. Elaine and I are going to the US at the end of October (fingers crossed)... after AKgeddon, so barring any drastic financial catastrophies (or acts of a vengful God) I'll be down there. Not sure about Elaine though.

I like your careful planning! Also, all going according to plan, a, Chris will be back and b, we will have a CANADIAN this year! :D

I chickened out last year but I'm very tempted to come along this time.

So you're saying, as I am flat-hunting, I should be looking for a place with a conference room? No worries.

School holidays! Awesomecakes. I hope to make it this year.

[blademistress.livejournal.com]

I'm currently working weekends (and I'm the manager. dammit) so there's going to be a looot of lying but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to make it.

[china_shop]

Yay! Do! :-)

It wouldn't be the same without you!

Well, being back in Palmerston North shall make my g/t easier, and as far as I know, I think I'll be able to make it.

If this was confirmed dates, I'd be so tempted to book tickets right now, since there's reasonably priced Qantas fares at the moment.

On the other hand, its only a few days after a gruelling exam, and I'm not sure about finances.

*wibbles*

Yay! I was so sorry to miss it last year. There's some airfare sales on right now so as soon as these dates are 100% confirmed I think a few of us will be booking.

BTW, when you say 2nd to 4th, do you mean stuff will happen during the day on the 2nd (which is a friday or just the evening?

[stickmarionette.livejournal.com]

And she'll be bringing me along. Because we're still attached at the hip. *g*

Woot! Fantastic.

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Be brave! We really truly aren't scary.

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Bwahahaha. Either that, or I'm looking at Kilbirnie Bowling Club.

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

It would be great to meet you!
