Hey there! If you are at the convention centre around 1 pm tomorrow, there'll be several of us loitering (with intent).

Look for the name tags. You are most welcome to join us. We don't know what we're doing, probably finding somewhere for lunch and just dribble around until registration :cheers:

okay, I'll stop by at around 1:00 then (I was planning on doing something like that anyway) - I'll probably have a flying spaghetti monster attatched to my bag... I'm not sure but I'll see what any of my local Atheist buddies will be doing around then too...

I'll let you know asap about the tour - thanks heaps for organising it. I'm trying to get hold of JimC as I reckon he'd be super interested in this. Need to hear from Durro as well.

Will be in touch!


Yeah, put me down as a yes. We'll do it after lunch, but before I duck over to the hotel at 5pm to meet Made of Stars and freshen my makeup before registration. How about 3pm to 4:30, or soemthing like that ?

Is your hotel on Southbank? We can do 3 if that's easier for people to get to the rego afterwards - just wanted to let people have time for lunch as well, there seemed to be some meeting up at 1 for that.

Made of Stars wrote:Tote bags and mouse mats take four weeks to ship from art approval. ;)

I'm hoping to sort out the t-shirt thing, but we'll need to do it locally.

Calilasseia (yes, the blue butterfly) is working on a logo for a t-shirt. Here's the first draft:
...snip...
Any locals able to help? Who are the Melburnians, apart from riddlemethis?

We'd need to source a t-shirt print place, get the art to them, order shirts, and get them to the church on time...


ewww... soz but that's horrible...


....ABE...

Just realised that was a bit blunt.... soz... would have done the decent thing and offered up a alt but i've only jut got here and it's 8pm on the thursday......
