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.

I am an Australian, and going to sinpoz and would come to g/t and I am pretty good with most times of year! Knowing dates sooner rather than later would be good, as my work is hard to get time off on with short notice in the last part of the year.

My gut feeling is to push into November...? Which is actually when we had the very first one, lo these many years ago. I'll try to thrash it out with China next week, and we'll make a decision asap.

Awesome, as soon as you have dates I'll make sure I can get leave :)

Not to be uber selfish, but November would also be better for me. Lol whoops used ALL MY LEAVE from now until October 20th last month.

Is it too late to get leave the first weekend of November??? That's three whole months awaaaaay...

You are of course totally welcome to stay with me. It should even be *warm* by November. ;-p
