Melbourne plans

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.
  • Tuesday 26 May - I write whatever I want, whenever I want  The Empress Hotel, Fitzroy North. Open at 7.30 8pm start. Cost $15 or $10 Concession
  • Wednesday 27 May - The Serious Business of Being Funny, The Empress Hotel, Fitzroy North. Open at 7.30 8pm start. Cost $15 or $10 Concession
  • Thursday 28 - So you want to be a YA writer, Storey Hall, RMIT to book phone 03 8664 7555
  • Friday....I think I'm going to some artist/writer party thingey... not sure on the details.
  • Sat and Sunday - Town Hall Program all day Saturday and Sunday 30/31. Though I might slip away for bits if Mike(y) organises farewelly stuff that is close enough for whimsy (and if the fates smile on him kindly enough that he is in town and isn't stuck packing boxes in Canberra).

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.au/

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.

Free pretty much anytime after tomorrow - where are you staying and where's convenient to meet?

I'm staying in Albert Park, right near the foreshore on the second last stop of the 1 tram to the beach. Tomorrow I'm being brave with public transport to go out to see Paula during the day.

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?

Continuum 5 Trivia Night at the Elephant and Wheelbarrow Hotel on Bourke St, City Saturday 30th - it should be fun, and I'm sure you'll know lots of us from other cons!
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 you're on Facebook, this page will tell you who's respnded - and that's just the Facebook people: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/event.php?eid=35926299980

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.
