  and it's Sofie/ Sofia...

  Oh d'oh !!!

  I'm sorry Sofie. And I so hate it when people leave the second 'l' out of Malcolm too.

  You're on Sam.... and there are still places available too.

  Sophie, I have both Mayan & Aztec themed tattoos which I spend all summer trying to protect from the sun... oh, the irony :)

  Oh, and Emma, maybe the next book should be launched at at the Civic?

  ...If you can't find a copy of Peter's doco, I could check in our departmental library...

  Thanks for the offer Geoff, but I'm pretty sure we have an archive copy on DVD here.

  Now I figure the best way to figure out who's coming is; if you could please email me with numbers... at my last count we're up to about 12.

  So Malcolm 5th it is? Can we have a time please?

  How does 2:30 sound ?

  Should give everyone time to get over any Great Blend seediness :)

  I have a question about the panthers-that-I-always-thought-were-lady-lions (huh!), and perhaps you can answer this, Malcolm: before the refurbishment, were their eyes red?

  Well, I have an answer... and it's yes... and no!

  Until the '50s the eyes were blue/green (Lee 116, for any lighting people) - and the panthers were oriented as they are today; facing off-stage.

  Then, with the introduction of Cinemascope (and probably the building of the Wintergarden cinema) the Panthers were lifted, moved so they were facing onstage, and their eyes were changed to the red that most people remember.

  So the way they are now is historically accurate, both in position and eye colour.

  OK, it's all on.

  When would we like to do this? The afternoon of Sat 5th?

  We're gonna be at least 2 hours... and I'll try and find a copy of Peter Wells' The Mighty Civic . It has the most amazing footage of the construction.

  I reluctantly relinquish my spot. Hadn't thought that one through.

  Damn! Neither had I Sacha. Sorry.

  Just thinking about it though, the only stairs that we can't bypass with an elevator are the ones into the ceiling. Which, although amazing, isn't essential for the experience.

  How many is "not too many"? I wouldn't mind ...

  Hmmmm... I think 12 or 15 – any more gets a bit unwieldy. There are a lot of stairs, and we could end up with people getting lost... and ending up in some pretty 'OSH averse' places :)
