Me again!! *s* ... it really is TIME. I have dinners, tents and homes to organise (and my sister, which is bigger than Ben Hur!! *L*) I need to know final numbers in the next week or so, people. Seems there are a few good 'handles' coming, mostly from PaddyNet, though.
Come on down, folks!!
By Lostsoul on Tuesday, July 11, 2000 - 01:30 am:
Your sister is bigger than Ben Hur???? *debates telling Typan in the hopes of getting a copy of that party video......*

By Lacie on Friday, July 21, 2000 - 08:21 am:
Seems there are about 12 confirmed participants of the 'meeting of keyboards'!!
The dates, although not confined to, are the weekend of the 6th, 7th and 8th of October. If there are any others of you who intend coming on down to the Land of Auz, let me know now, as I am begining the process of planning the Itinerary.
I am sure it will be a memorable time!! and one hellava party!! (LS, I may even be inticed into a viewing of the famed 40th b'day vid!! *L*)

............. only 2 months to go .. so begins the count down to the aussie meeting. My e-mail has changed, too. ratz@iinet.net.au (one company bought out another).
(we are accustomed to count downs in Aus right now .. we have had the Olympic Torch Relay count down and the count down to the begining of the Olympics *grins through gritted teeth*. Still, I am an avid watcher of the ACTUAL Olympics, even though I complain about the lead up.)
By Lacie on Tuesday, August 15, 2000 - 10:45 am:

By Lacie on Friday, August 25, 2000 - 02:54 pm:
THERE it is ... it doesn't show on the 'navigation' .... *silly lace*
By Lacie on Friday, October 13, 2000 - 03:51 pm:
Well, the occasion has been and gone. It was a great deal of fun, although there were some .. ummm .. occasions that would be notable by the Python cast *L*
We met, played croquet, drank some, played bocce, drank some, took a bus ride to collect some more, drank some more ... and partied until the sun rose on the Saturday night. Rather normal around here *smile*
Sorry for those who missed it *sigh* ... maybe you will get a glimpse in a pic or two.
