  • Jen Hay,

    Absolutely amazing. Thanks Orcon and thanks Russell!
    It's brilliant to have something fabulous to look forward to.

    Indeed, much respect to Orcon for that.

    An etiquette question: if this is from 6-11pm, roughly what time will things actually be starting? As in, if I turn up at 7pm, will I be brusquely turned away at the door as the keynote has already started?

    I'm confident about my ability to make small talk, but the actual start time will play a role in my choice of transport for the evening.

    Is David home yet? We took him to Pastis after the Media7 recording, with the Gracewoods and Bart, but refused to let him pay on the basis that people without a functioning house aren’t allowed to pay. Sorry, but rules are rules.

    The programme will kick off about 7pm, and there's no way you'll be turned away whenever.

    No, but you're one off those people given to flashy entrances I may be obliged to glare at you like a Wodehouse aunt and snap my braces aggressively. :)

    David last seen in Fruitvale (who knew there was a part of Auckland called Fruitvale?) where we dropped him off at his vehicle. I trust he made it safely the rest of the way.

    Also, for the record: apparently he only hugs fellow introverts. I was never so glad to be one!

  • Danielle,

    (who knew there was a part of Auckland called Fruitvale?)

    It's the next train station after New Lynn, isn't it?

    In which case: David, Jen, Bob and Polly are in my 'hood! We should put up some bunting.

  • Jolisa, in reply to Danielle,

    That's the one - bunt away!

    I understand David and Bob are looking for a few hot playdates, as well... know a good playground?

    Deborah, so bummed to hear you can't make it on the night. BUT: I am in Wgtn from Tuesday morning. Email me?

    Mental note: leave the flash bombs and smoke machine at home. And don't wear the mirror sequinned waistcoat.

    Actually, my normal MO is to turn up about four hours after everything has started, by which point most participants are so rollocked they later have no memory of meeting me. While this has served me well so far, particularly in terms of the obtainment of light blackmail material, I may make more of an effort to be there prior to 7pm this time.

    If we’re lucky, he’ll have his tits out.

    I'll wear an open-necked shirt.

    When exactly did this happen? Oh, wait ...

  • Isabel Hitchings,

    Since I reaslised that going up to Wellington would give me the perfect excuse to stop in Nelson to hug my Mum on the way home I'm pretty much committed to coming. I could use some accommodation recommendations - perhaps near to where other PASers are staying?

  • Deborah, in reply to Jolisa,

    @Jolisa – e-mailed, but I’m not sure how recent the address I used is. I’m free later on Wednesday afternoon, but I have to get back up to Palmie that evening (cat, guinea pigs, get the car back to my employer…).

  • Jen Hay,

    I can confirm that the final leg from fruitvale was completed successfully. And yes - we could all definitely do with a few good play dates.
