Hello to melbournians,
I'm here! Feels so strange. Here are my plans thus far I'd love to go to them with some folks (then there can be coffee and cake afterwards). During the day is free most days for lunches etc, I will be public transporting and based in unctuous Albert Park.
My Panel on collaboration is called "I can say yes now but in the end it will be no" will be Sunday 1:45pm - 3pm.
More Emerging Writers Festival stuff can be found here http://www.emergingwritersfestival.org.a u/
The following week Mike(y) will be in town and we can do stuff together, though given constrainst we might have to catch up with some people separately.
Sooo..... lunch, after work drinkies, dinner and a panelling or post paneling? Who's up for what and the how? Rescue a poor incoherent maiden eager to minmax her hangin out with people. I also want to go factory outlet bra shopping if anyone has the urge to come along for that.

The most convenient places are along the #1 tram line (beach to melb uni), but I'm prepared to be a little brave too.
Do you want to do lunch and a walk on the foreshore near here on Wednesday? Or afternoon/dinner somewhere close to north fitzroy before freelancing panel Tuesday night?
www.continuum.org.au for better details - and no, you don't need to get together enough people for a table - there'll be people looking to make up tables on the night. I'll probably be one of them ;)

If not, at the least, all of the convention committee should be there - I wont list them here, but they are all on the continuum website.
Flipper & I shall be helping with the last of the cleaning and all that and we have the stuff for you dad, so we'll arrange with him when is best to get it to him all.
hope that you have a great time both in Melbourne and when you head to the USA.
lots of love
