Inconvenienced by rugby! (Only in NZ!)

I've been mulling this over for a while, but Dewey very efficiently brought it back to my and China's attention today, namely that our general date-vicinity is smack dab in the middle of plastic waka festival 2011.

I haven't done the full due diligence but my gut feeling is 1) acommodation/flights will be hard to come by, and 2) what there is will be expensive. Dates may have to shift this year.

So that China and I have all relevant information before we do complicated quantum physics, can you please comment here (comments are screened in case you say anything identifying) with said relevant information.

Relevant information would include:

I am a student and I go to X university and have exams Y

I am an Australian and going to Sinpoz but I'd totally come to g/t if it was Z

My fandom has vitally important concert Q

or anything else similar. No guarantees of course, but best efforts as always.

Dewey - from Dunedin

[dewey3067.livejournal.com]

dates that do not work:
June 26-July 9
mid-late December

Other than that I'm clear. Major consideration would be lodging, but as I said, I am willing to book a group of rooms early (as long as cancellations are allowed by hotel) and can hold them for non-Wellington folks. Esp. if we wanted rooms in Kilburnie to be closer.

It is also very possible I could come up earlier on the g/t Friday to help with stuff or do some things from Dunedin. My specialty is disk burning. *g* Or just let me know what would help you most.

Good Luck!
