I had to miss this one. *sigh*.

So how long until the next one, eh?

Looking forward to the big event on Thursday ... the last few times I've been looking around for somewhere to pay my koha – I think this time I'll just shove some cash into Russell's hand!

Finally got my LEDS album from Smoke CDs – it's good stuff alright.

Did…

Damn I will learn how to do that, it is supposed to read:

I think Mr Brown was fairly astonished when Judith Tizard asked to be introduced to him at the Banana conference launch and showered him with compliments. It is quite funny that he has to travel to New Zealand to get the time of day from a government minister.

With bells on! Mr Brown was excellent on Nine to Noon and Kathryn Ryan asked thoughtful questions. The interview lasted half an hour – surely the sign of an engaging chat. Also you would never have known that they were in different studios – Kathryn in Wellington and Kin Mun…

Looks mostly good. Mr Brown could be good, and am particularly looking forward to hearing Nat Torkington. given that he wrote what was for a year or so, my most used cookbook.

A little dismay at the inclusion of Cooper though. Have been talking with some ex-colleagues still toiling away…

I've just confirmed that I'll be screening the excellent new mash-up from the creators of Starlords. Some of you might have seen an earlier version at Foo Camp, but don't give the game away ...

Buggery ballocks... could you please schedule the next GB for an evening I don't have an unbreakable prior engagement. :) Hope there's going to be lots of lovely podcasts for us poor mortals – Mr. Brown sure gives good interview (though loyalty forces me to say PA Radio's effort was…

Rats, I'll be out of town for a friend's birthday. I haven't been to any of these and was thinking of going this year.

Within walking distance this time, no less...

Hey, me too. A very convenient location. I'm also excited that it's just around the corner from Galbraith's.

I've just been checking out Clare O'Leary's blog. She seems like a really good addition to the panel. I think it'll balance things well and…

Oh, and I've just confirmed the very cool Clare O'Leary for both the Auckland and Wellington panels. She's currently the strategic analyst at NZ On Air and has a background in film-making, digital content policy and work with the computer gaming industry. Some of us also remember her band.

Oh, and just to clarify the Wellington date, it's Thursday the 30th. My mistype was there in the post (but not the RSVP pages) for half an hour.

I'm drinking my plunger hummingbird OOMPH! fair trade & organic coffee.
When I was up at Parihakain 06 a Timor Leste activist had a real bee in his bonnet about so called 'Fair Trade' coffee.
One trader for all the growers to sell to in timor and the rate was below…

Excuse me while I RSVP in lightning speed.

The line-up looks great, but I'm most excited about The L.E.D.s!!! They are officially my new favourite band, and I'm really looking forward to seeing them live.

It should be a good one.
