OZ ALFACon 2008

[Mikayla]

Joos:

Huh? What happened to land of the free? That sucks, hope you get your passport.

Freedom apparently does not extend to transgender people in the U.S.

[Rotku]

As in, around the start of July, perhaps around July the 3rd when GenCon Australia starts (July 3-6).

I'll be in the states then (already confirmed a job!), so won't be able to make it.

[Rotku]

There's a chance that I'm going to be over in aussie for a week or so, round mid winter next year. If there is any interest at all in having a mid-09 Aussie ALFA con, I could easily extend this stay (and move across country somewhere) to meet up with people. Any of our aussies interested? I know there are a fair handful of you buggers now, playing NWN2.

Not sure of the exact date right now - hasn't been finalized - and it of course depends if I can gather the money together. So for now, just throwing the idea out there.

[ElCadaver]

Which bit? Australia is a big place.

[Rotku]

Well, I have to go to Brissy, but if there was a big group who wanted to meet elsewhere, Icould happily fly down.

[Swift]

It could be a real stretch for me at the moment, with a new girl i am flying back and forth between adelaide and sydney at an average of 3-4 weeks right now, so money is going to be tight. If it was melbourne, i could probably do it, since its the cheapest place to get to from adelaide.

Unless of course it is in Sydney when your here Swift.

Hey, even if it just becomes a "Lets go for a beer and say Hi" Id be in, as long as it was in Sydney, cause for me Married with 2 kids, im allways broke

[Rotku]

I'd probably be fine with Sydney for a weekend. Brissy to Sydney shouldn't be too much.

[Darradarljod]

I don't intend on participating... Just dropped by to say its great seeing so many fellow New Zealanders and Aussies lurking about Just returned from Aussie this week visiting my father in the Hinterlands behind Surfers, great country and great people.

On that note...

A New Zealander walked the terrain of the Australian outback, pausing atop a hill to catch his breath and admire the beautiful landscape
As he observed the world around him, his attention was drawn to an Aussie farmer behind a woolshed furiously shagging a beautiful Merino
Disgusted and shocked, the Kiwi shouted; "Oi, mate! In New Zealand, we shear our sheep!"
"Bugger oof," the Aussie farmer replied between grunts, "I ain' sharin' wif nubody!"


Works both ways!

Im not taking a day away from my girl while im in sydney to meet some nerds when i only get to see her for a couple days every 3-4 weeks. Better things to be doing

[Thangorn]

well sydney or melbourne..its all the same to me.. christchurch is best

jetstar and air nz have sales on atm.. check them out, its not bad idea except for the accomodation part (ALFA take over of a backpackers anyone!! )

[Thangorn]

trust you to go to my home town when I live your country now.. geez..

[Joos]

Sydney or Melbourne is Ok with me. I'm easy. Whats the interest rate of me bringing a 3.5 DMG and some dice?

[dob85y]

If you bring them to sydney, then im up for it, i have dice too, but no 3.5, only 3.0 stuff.
