[GregT] Me.
In the Quality Batman's Hill on 1 September and then at the Hilton through to the end of the con.

[medge42.livejournal.com]

yup.
The two of us

[smofbabe.livejournal.com]

Me :-> BTW, if anyone who is attending the con can spare some time to volunteer, we'd very much appreciate it!

[chaosmanor.livejournal.com]

Me, but I have to fly home a day earlier than planned because of work. However, having work does mean I can attend the con without eating ramen.

[redbraids.livejournal.com]

Maybe. Had to go away for work any way, so cheap trip, but may need to cancel at last minute depending how M is :(

[dalekboy.livejournal.com]

Hope things improve, & not because of the con.

[stephen-dedman.livejournal.com]

Everything's booked.

We're theoretically leaving Friday... although at this rate, I suspect it will be Saturday morning! We'll be around Melbourne and the Mornington peninsula for the week each side of the con, and obviously at the con:-)

Just starting to panic about how to occupy the not quite 2 year old on the drive... he doesn't tend to listen to audio books quite like the other two, and colouring-in doesn't hold his attention the same way, either!

possibilities: one biscuit tin of solid state figurines (this I can lend you), endless supply of nibblies that require dexterity and time to eat (eg. fruit loops, currants, in tsp quantities in a bowl), small rattling object (I think that B had two or three little noise makers), puppet(s) that adult in front/beside can use to make commentary on the road, favourite cds/songs to sing. I think we had a biscuit tin of finger puppets as well, which I would be willing to lend.

[fe2h2o.livejournal.com]

I had actually intended to add the box of puppets to the travel list (which includes the finger puppets)—just hadn't actually done it:-) I have little cars/trucks/buses in a box. The ipod is loaded with many songs/stories (and plays through the radio). I think I do have a bag of figures that were given to us before the owner moved to Melbourne... that I haven't got out previously because we had no need for them... Small rattling objects would probably be a hit:-) Will have to work out what we have that can't be opened:-)

Good ideas (and reminders:-) ) Thanks!

What's an oarzikon??

[dalekboy.livejournal.com]

It's similar to a goiter.

[gutter-monkey.livejournal.com]

And you all have four of them? That's awful!

[dalekboy.livejournal.com]

I got an extra one in Glasgow in 1995

[callistra.livejournal.com]

Me! Me me me me me me me me!

[stephbg.livejournal.com]

Not I :-(

[rabbit1080.livejournal.com]

sounds like we need a splinter-group in perth. maybe we could build a dalek or something.

[stephbg.livejournal.com]

A live cat party seems in order.

[lostcarpark.livejournal.com]

I'm coming to Perth from 15th to 18th September. Hope to meet some of you there!

[bunny-m.livejournal.com]

Sadly, no I, either.

Not enough leave, and not nearly enough $$$

[jocko55.livejournal.com]

How about a Mechanoid? Is that right, The ball like Dalek enemy, that shot flames.

[fred-mouse.livejournal.com]

A and I will be there, but will not be accompanied by any examples of Rattus Baggus.

[king-espresso.livejournal.com]

Me!

[strangedave.livejournal.com]

Yeah, all of our household

[owlrigh.livejournal.com]

Me and my housemate are going along. And then I'm going to ride my bicycle back from Melbourne :D

[tikiwanderer.livejournal.com]

James, Sparrow and I will be there. Staying in the Hotel Enterprise opposite Southern Cross Station, along with a friend from Perth (Jay Stratton).

[fe2h2o.livejournal.com]

Who knew he was going!

[tikiwanderer.livejournal.com]

I just think he's amazingly brave to volunteer to share a hotel room with a toddler. Either that or totally misguided :-) He'll tell us afterwards which it was, I'm sure.

[davidcook.livejournal.com]

Us, of course ! :-)

[owlrigh.livejournal.com]

Yay :D

[mondyboy.livejournal.com]

Yep

[tearsxintherain.livejournal.com]

Meeeee!!! :)

[mireille21.livejournal.com]

Yup. Not sure which days and times I will be attending though. Having to take care of parenting responsibilities, i will not be going to the whole thing, and it is doubtful I will be attending any evenings.

[mynxii.livejournal.com]

*waves* I'll also be soaking up the atmosphere of having almost all my lovers or almost lovers in the same city with me :P I may be blushing/grinning/innuendoish for the whole time :P

*loves so much*

[lostcarpark.livejournal.com]

I'm really looking forward to meeting lots of you there. Watch out for me and ask me to tell you about GUFF and the fan funds.

I've set up a blog site for my trip here.

Jocko is go.

[jocko55.livejournal.com]

yep, I am going Saturday on a day membership. Doing a panel on fan clubs too, well MSFC life membership is good for the cred. Going to Dudcon 3 on Friday night. Must vote in best fannish cat. Of and do the Ditmar ballot too. Best fannish achievement, childrens programme at 2009 Adeliade Natcon.
